IoT Route commands

IoT Route commands.

Create a route

Multiple kinds of routes can be created, such as: - Database Route Create a route that will record subscribed MQTT messages into your database.

Create a route that will put subscribed MQTT messages into an Object Storage bucket. You need to create the bucket yourself and grant write access. Granting can be done with s3cmd (s3cmd setacl s3://<my-bucket> --acl-grant=write:555c69c3-87d0-4bf8-80f1-99a2f757d031:555c69c3-87d0-4bf8-80f1-99a2f757d031).
