If you have not mqtt Server

Install and setup mqtt

• Install mosquitto

  sudo apt update
  sudo apt upgrade
  sudo apt install mosquitto 
  

• If you have enable firewall you need open 1883 port

  iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1883 -j ACCEPT
  

You need redirect mqtt.idtlive.com on your own mqtt

• Setup your DNS Router if possible else install dnsmasq

  sudo apt install dnsmasq
  

• Update the dsnmasq conf

  sudo nano /etc/dnsmasq.conf
  

  dhcp-range=192.168.1.10,192.168.1.150,24h #ip range ipStart,ipEnd,validity_time
  dhcp-option=option:netmask,255.255.255.0
  dhcp-option=option:router,192.168.1.1 # Network Gateway ( Your internet box )
  dhcp-option=option:dns-server,192.168.1.25
  cache-size=256 # Number of DNS keep in cache (Mo)
  dhcp-host=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx,machine_name,192.168.1.xx # set specific ip to exlude of range  mac,machine_name,ip
  

Add redirect dns for mqtt.idtlive.com

• Create file /etc/dnsmasq.d/wmr500 and add address=/mqtt.idtlive.com/192.168.1.25

• Next check the dns in console
  

  nslookup  
  server 192.168.1.xx  # IP where you have install dnsmasq
  mqtt.idtlive.com # Should return ip of your mqtt
  

  You should find IP configured in /etc/dnsmasq.d/wmr500

• Disable the DHCP in your router
