***An Internet connected thermostat using multiple room sensors.

The thermostat has temperature sensors to gather telemetry. It would most likely have one temperature sensor built in, and it might connect to multiple external temperature sensors over a wireless protocol such as BLE (Bletooth Low Energy).

### Receive telemetry from the MQTT broker
There's no point in sending telemetry if there's nothing on the other end to listen for it. The light level telemetry needs something listening to it to process the data. This 'server' code is the kind of code you will deploy to a cloud service as part of a larger IoT application, but here you are going to run this code locally on your computer (turn on your Pi if you are coding directly on there). The server code consists of a Python app that listens to telemetry messages over MQTT with light levels. Later in this lesson you will make it reply with a command message with instructions to turn the LED on or off.

✅ Do some research: What happens to MQTT messages if there is no listener?
