Cant subscribe to MQTT

Post by derbysteve »

New to Adafruit IO so please be kind :)
I cannot see how to create an IO feed that subscribes to an MQTT topic
Is there a tutorial somewhere ?
My ESP8266 isnt specified as a device because its running a different (incompatible?) firmware - ESPEASY, but I have verified that it is publishing MQTT data to the Adafruit broker using the Topic/Sub-topic "username/feeds/welcome-feed"
I have verified that the broker is receiving my data by subscribing to the Topic/Sub-topic using the Hive MQTT Client, so how to I connect my Adafruit IO feed to this topic?
Thanks

An Adafruit IO Feed is a special MQTT topic. Could you explain what you're trying to achieve here, in simplest terms?

I think I have now solved my own (credentials) problem (often the way)
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
