Generally I'd say hardcode a DNS name, as sensors are generally low
power / low memory. You could implement something like Bonjour
discovery but many of those types of "discovery" algorithms including
dhcp require either local subnet access (for broadcast access) or, in
the case of dhcp, special configurations on the network to redirect
the broadcast to a specific host.

Mosquitto doesn't support this type of discovery anyway to the best of
my knowledge.
