Messaging

BusyLight uses AMQP messaging to inter-communicate between devices. You must configure your AMQP URL before running the software.

You can get a free AMQP instance and AMQP URL from cloudamqp.com:

• browse to cloudamqp.com and create a free account
• once you're signed in, create a new message queue Instance
  • Any Name: call it whatever you like
  • Free Plan: BusyLight's needs are simple
  • Any Region: select whichever you like
• view the Details of the created instance
  • observe its AMQP URL
    • here's what it will look like (sample):
      • amqps://leuwnjrc:7r5MKuk2_IYsDLDQgUi8ZeVHOopflLPe@canary.rmq.cloudamqp.com/leuwnjrc
    • this AMQP URL is the BusyLight.MessageQueueUrl you'll want to specify in the Configuration
