I am working on a project where I need to monitor and control multiple devices located across different geographic sites (each site has its own independent internet connection).
I am planning to use MQTT as the main communication protocol and Home Assistant as the central management platform.
Currently, I have Home Assistant running with Mosquitto Broker installed on the same server.
I want to securely and reliably connect all remote devices to this MQTT environment over the internet.
