Select Publish to mqtt.eagle.io as the transport type. A unique MQTT Topic will be automatically generated per Data Source. The Topic will always start with io/eagle/source/, followed by a unique 3-word code, for example in the screenshot below the Topic is io/eagle/source/tail-chill-nic. Change the Authentication setting from None to CONNECT Message, and you will notice that the Username becomes the 3-word code. Enter a password in the Password field, and click Next.

Username: Use the 3-word code generated in step 2, e.g. tail-chill-nic
Password: Use the password you entered in step 2
