+# This unit file is used to launch the mqttproxy scripts on boot.
+# Symlink it with `ln -s configs/mqttproxy.service
+# /etc/systemd/system/mqttproxy.service` before using.
+# Use e.g. `systemctl enable mqttproxy.service`
+# to enable the service.
+# Once symlinked and enabled for each sensor, the services will
+# start automatically on boot.
+# They can be controlled with `start`/`stop`/`restart`/`status`.
+# Use e.g. `journalctl -u mqttproxy.service -f` to
+# see the script output.
