- MDS_HOST - URL to the mbed Device Server (mDS) instance/mbed Connector
- MDS_DOMAIN - Domain being used in mbed Device Server (mDS) instance
- MDS_TOKEN - Token to use for mbed Connector authentication (not needed if using mDS basic auth)
- MDS_USERNAME - mDS basic auth username (not needed if using token authentication)
- MDS_PASSWORD - mDS basic auth password (not needed if using token authentication)
- ENDPOINT_TYPE - Endpoint type of the connected outlets
- ENDPOINT_RESOURCE - Path to the endpoint's resource linked to the relay state
- ENDPOINT_NAME_RESOURCE - Path to the endpoint's resource that gives its name
