Pottmayer automation mqtt listener microservice

Description

This project is a microservice built using Node.js, Express, TypeScript, and the Prisma ORM configured with a connection to a PostgreSQL database. Its purpose is to subscribe to topics on the Mosquitto broker. When it detects messages coming from IoT devices (such as sensors integrated with Arduino) on these topics, it persists this data in the database for later processing and consumption by other applications.
