Publish messages to a topic

Problem

You want to publish a message to an MQTT topic on a broker.

Solution

Use the MQTT Output node to publish messages to a topic.

Discussion

The MQTT Output node with an associated MQTT Config node connected to an MQTT broker can be used to publish messages to a pre-configured topic.
