Doesn’t support “legacy” IoT protocols in favour of websockets? This might be fun but it’s not serious.
It is fun, but also serious.
Why no support for MQTT? Please explain.
Good question. Short answer is MQTT wasn't needed. Merle uses JSON message over websockets sent on a broadcast message bus. The Thing or its UI subscribes to these JSON messages, similar to MQTT topics.
This seems fun
