Raspberry Pi setup

The Raspberry Pi will be the host for the local MQTT broker in this project and also the dashboard hosting device. The dashboard for this project will be created using Node-RED and the Node-RED dashboard module, which will both be running on the Pi.

The previous chapters cover in detail how to set up and activate the MQTT broker (refer to Chapter 1,Introduction to Raspberry Pi and MQTT, to refresh your memory).
