Installed Mosquitto easy-peasy like

After a few minutes, I now have Virtuino6 displaying messages from and toggling an LED on the RPi (my ESPs are next... particularly my ESP32CAMs as I found a great topic [here](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/detecting-objects-using-esp32-cam-and-node-red/47165) about using them 👍)

I can now have a fully customizable App, a less so customizable PC desktop (but functional) and all away from $$ subscriptions and cloud services, but still accessible via WAN when I want it.

I wish someone had told me about NR long ago 😇 😆
