Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a paradigm shift, ushering in an era of technological innovation characterised by an array of novel services. IoT applications, with their potential to harmoniously merge the cyber and physical worlds, are nearly boundless. However, despite the extensive efforts put forth by standardisation bodies, alliances, industries, and the research community, a myriad of challenges remains to be addressed for IoT to reach its maximum potential. This paper presents a possible solution by merging the advantages of the LabView development medium with the lightweight communication provided by the MQTT protocol.
