Vera + MQTT Gateway?

[tbully]

Hello Everyone -
This may be an inappropriate question due to my lacking of understanding of MQTT however I thought I'd give it a shot.

I was at an AWS/Amazon conference a few weeks ago and they announced a new offering for IoT primarily using MQTT as a protocol (not surprising).

I already happily have an ethernet gateway interfaced to my Vera with several sensors around the house and deeply integrated to my zWave network, PLEG actions, etc. I thought it'd be neat to also stream my sensor data to AWS to do various Lambda functions and data analysis.

Does anyone think it's possible to run a dual-purpose gateway? One for the home automation controller + another for data analysis plus possible sensor control in the future?

Thanks.

Thought I'd try this again. Perhaps this would be better in another section of the forum?
