The "KingPigeon" JSON data format of MQTT Client and MQTT Client II is the same as King Pigeon MQTT. Refer to：King Pigeon MQTT Data Format
Connect to the ThingsBoard platform, select the JSON data format in the "thingsboard-telemetry-gateway" format. The ThingsBoard platform domain name is thingsboard.cloud.
Connect to a platform that supports Sparkplug B, such as the ignition platform, select the JSON data format in the "sparkplug b" format, click the button next to the data template item, enter configuration box to configure the group ID and edge node ID.
The difference between MQTT Client and MQTT Client II is that the subscription topic of MQTT Client II does not work. The purpose of MQTT Client II is that the platform can view the data but cannot control the data. Therefore, MQTT Client II connection is not introduced.
The configuration of MQTT Client is as follows: Connection without certificate and the JSON data format in KingPigeon format as an example.
