even easier! I will try that net time.
I must say with logging switched on for debugging, slightly disconcerting how chatty those shelly devices are!
There isn't anything to worry about there as that is what MQTT is designed for. The intro paragraph on
MQTT.org says it all. An we are on a high speed network compared to dial up!
If you are truly worried about the amount of traffic, you can configure the individual shelly devices (through the Shelly web interface) to report at a lower frequency. The default is a status update, regardless of data changes, every 30 seconds.
There are 17 Shellies (not all are always online and reporting as some are battery operated) and 27 indigo devices in total in our household. No issues or any signs of increased load. The MQTT broker (ActiveMQ running on the Mini hosting Indigo) sips CPU cycles and uses around 0-2% CPU. There is a terminal window monitoring all indigo MQTT traffic and that thing flies!
