# MQTT Websockets defaults
mqtt_websockets_enabled = 1
mqtt_enabled = 1
mqtt_websockets_host = "mqtt.woodlands-weather.co.za"
mqtt_websockets_port = 443
mqtt_websockets_ssl = 1
mqtt_websockets_topic = "weather/loop"
mqtt_websockets_username = ""
mqtt_websockets_password = ""
mqtt_websockets_path = "/"
disconnect_live_website_visitor = 1800000
