@jpmens: consultant, part- time admin, small-scale fiddler, loves DNS, plain
text, and things that work. Dreamed up OwnTracks & wrote jo
Today’s special MQTT ESP8266 for monitoring stuff
MQTT is a standard, a transport, PUB/SUB messaging, designed for
unreliable networks MQTT
security TLS authentication ACLs TLS-PSK (payload encryption)
Quality of Service 0 At most once 1 Assured delivery
2 Once only
topic names UTF-8, hierarchical, wildcards temperature/room/living devices/# finance/+/eur/rate
PUB/SUB cauldron
MQTT brokers the server bit of MQTT
Mosquitto C, fast, lightweight, ACLs (plugin), TLS, TLS-PSK, bridge, Websockets,
logging via $SYS, FLOSS http://mosquitto.org
bridging
CLI utilities mosquitto_sub -v [-h localhost] [-p 1883] [--cafile file]
[--cert file --key file] [-u username [-P password]] -t 'topic/#' subscribe publish mosquitto_pub ... [-r] -t topic -m payload
languages Lua, Python, C, JavaScript, Perl, Ruby, Java, ...
Python API: PUB #!/usr/bin/env python import paho.mqtt.publish as mqtt mqtt.single('conf/hello',
'Hello MQTT') $ mosquitto_sub -h localhost -v -t 'conf/#' conf/hello Hello MQTT payload topic
Python API: SUB callbacks #!/usr/bin/env python import paho.mqtt.client as paho
def on_connect(mosq, userdata, rc): mqttc.subscribe("conf/+", 0) def on_message(mosq, userdata, msg): print "%s %s" % (msg.topic, str(msg.payload)) mqttc = paho.Client(userdata=None) mqttc.on_connect = on_connect mqttc.on_message = on_message mqttc.connect("localhost", 1883, 60) mqttc.loop_forever()
Python API: SUB $ mosquitto_pub -t 'conf/thirsty' -m 'Beertime?' $
mosquitto_pub -t 'conf/catering' -m 'Coffee is ready' $ ./sub.py conf/thirsty Beertime? conf/catering Coffee is ready
