Technical Implementation Made Simple

MQTT Trigger functions as a subscriber that listens for messages on specified topics from any MQTT broker. When configured:

1. Connect - Establish a connection to your MQTT broker (public or private)
2. Subscribe - Listen to specific topics using standard MQTT topic patterns
3. Filter - Process only relevant messages using topic structures (e.g., sensors/temperature/#)
4. Trigger - Automatically initiate workflows when messages arrive
5. Process - Use the message payload as structured data within your workflow

This simple but powerful mechanism allows you to create sophisticated automation workflows that respond instantly to any MQTT-based event across your infrastructure.
