• Node: IoT_Sensors
• Topic: TankFarm/Tank1/temperature
• Data Type: Double
• AccessType: Read

Temperature Tank 2 Sensor:

• Name: TankFarm/Tank2/Temp
• Node: IoT_Sensors
• Topic: TankFarm/Tank2/temperature
• Data Type: Double
• AccessType: Read

Temperature Tank 3 Sensor (write):

• Name: TankFarm/Tank3/Temp
• Node: IoT_Sensors
• Topic: TankFarm/Tank3/temperature
• Data Type: Double
• AccessType: Write

3. Test Connection
