Open MQTT Data (Demo)

Connect to live Thingsee sensor data from Haltian’s office for testing and demos

Want to see real Thingsee data? Connect to our open MQTT data stream from live office sensors.

Quick Start

Connect to the open MQTT broker:

Setting	Value
Host	`live-data.haltian.com`
Port	`1883`
Topic	`cloudext/json/pr/fi/office/#`
Password	None

Command Line

mosquitto_sub -h live-data.haltian.com -p 1883 -t "cloudext/json/pr/fi/office/#"

mosquitto_sub -h live-data.haltian.com -p 1883 -t "cloudext/json/pr/fi/office/{tuid}/#"

Replace {tuid} with a device identifier from the demo sensors below.

Client ID

Use a randomized MQTT client ID to avoid conflicts with other connected users.

Demo Sensors

All sensors are located at Haltian’s office in Finland. Use these QR codes with Thingsee Entry app.

Forwarding to Your API

If you need REST API instead of MQTT:

const mqtt = require('mqtt');
const axios = require('axios');

const client = mqtt.connect('mqtt://live-data.haltian.com:1883');

client.on('connect', () => {
  client.subscribe('cloudext/json/pr/fi/office/#');
});

client.on('message', async (topic, message) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(message.toString());
  
  // Forward to your API with original payload
  await axios.post('https://your-api.com/thingsee', data);
});

Important

Keep the payload unchanged so your endpoint receives data exactly as it would from a production Thingsee integration.

Message Format

All messages follow Thingsee Message specifications.
