  • Scalability: When you use a Pi, you have limited coverage. However, that is not the case with an online MQTT broker. You can easily connect multiple smart devices, which are present in different locations.
  • Efficient channel use: This method supports multiple devices, allowing you to proficiently utilize channels.
  • Large-scale compatibility: If you want to use this at a larger scale (for example, you have more than 10,000 devices in your ecosystem), you can easily choose a new plan, which gives you access to more storage and more topics (larger channel bandwidth).
