The broker then distributes the information to any clients that have subscribed to that topic. The hyundai_kia_connect_monitor does not need to have any data on the number or locations of subscribers, and subscribers, in turn, do not have to be configured with any data about the publishers. @@ -262,6 +264,7 @@ When configured, the data is send to mqtt_main_topic/VIN/subtopic.
