Ok, thanks, too Bad....

If i develop a little temperature-sensor on an embedded device i have to 
preconfigure a broker address. But if i sell such devices how can the 
user configure them? Such devices have no keyboard, no display, ... it's 
challenging in view of the fact that the user acceptance factor is low 
because there's no comfortable way to set the address of users preferred 
broker.
