 ====== Hot Topics ======
+===== MQTT Integration =====
-===== Thinknx Quick Guide =====
+Thinknx products can now communicate with any device supporting the MQTT protocol. MQTT stands for Message Queuing Telemetry Transport, and is designed as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport that is ideal for connecting IoT devices.
-Whether you are new to Thinknx or already using the product, this guide is essential to a smooth implementation. Discover Thinknx products and dive deeper into the process of creating a project inside our Configurator.

+A Thinknx server can be configured to work as an MQTT client to connect to a broker/server and subscribe to one or multiple topics, or as an MQTT server itself to handle subscriptions and topics distribution.

+===== Open Weather Map =====
+Thinknx has now added a new system object inside the configurator, the OpenWeatherMap, allowing the server to connect to www.openweathermap.org and read all the weather information available. This data can then be linked to a UI built by the integrator instead of a fixed widget, offering more freedom to create a design that goes with the entire project.

+===== New Compact_20 / Compact_DIN =====
+The new Compact is finally here! A completely re-designed server, unlike any product you've ever seen before. Available in two versions, Compact_20 and Compact_DIN, this server offers an extended set of I/O's and two serial ports, in addition to a small monitor allowing the integrator to easily control the inputs and outputs. The Compact_20/Compact_DIN is the perfect fit for all types of projects, and can be upgraded with all available licenses such as Z-Wave, Lutron, Modbus, Intercom, Security and more.

+===== Thinknx Portal =====
+Thinknx Portal is a web tool provided by Thinknx Cloud dedicated to system integrators as well as end-users. Its main goal is to monitor and control single installations as well multiple ones such as multi-branch retail stores or companies, clusters of villas or chain hotels. It allows all the installed servers to be virtually connected regardless of their physical location, and controlled from a centralized user interface.

+===== KNXNet/IP Interface =====
+The wait is finally over! With firmware version 1.1.10.13 or above, you can now transform any Thinknx server to a KNXNet/IP interface or router.
+The server will continue to function as a visualization tool, but it can also be used as KNX programming interface or as a KNX IP router connecting different parts of a KNX system together over IP. The Thinknx server can also communicate with other KNXNet/IP interfaces instead of using its own embedded connection to communicate with the bus.

-===== Thinknx and IFTTT =====
-Thinknx is now supporting integration with IFTTT, a web service that allows the users to create automated tasks through conditional statements known as "Applets". Applets can be triggered by changes occurring within other web services such as Gmail, Facebook and Outlook. This guide will help you better understand the IFTTT service and configure Thinknx to communicate with it.
