MESSAGE QUEUING TELEMETRY TRANSPORT


BROKER AND CLIENTS
• A broker is required for MQTT to work
• Multiple clients can connect to a broker
ESTABLISHING A BROKER
• Most cloud providers (AWS, AZURE, etc.) offer an MQTT service
• Eclipse Mosquito is a very popular MQTT broker software. It’s free, open
source, secure and well maintained. You can host it on your own server or in
the cloud
• Free sandboxes are available to play around.
MQTT CLIENT
• The ESP32 will act as a client
• Several MQTT client applications are available from very simple
(MQTTBox) to highly sophisticated (Node-Red)
• MQTT box http://workswithweb.com/mqttbox.html
MQTT TOPICS
• Topic:
• A string that identifies a resource it looks like a relative URI
• Topics can follow a tree structure using a “/”
• E.g. Earth/Australia/Vic/Melbourne/temperature/device1234
• identifies temperature from device1234 in Melbourne

• Wild cards are used with a #


• Earth/Australia/Vic/Melbourne/#
• This identifies all Melbourne devices

• A device can have as many topics as it likes


PUBLISH AND SUBSCRIBE
• A device can publish any data it wishes, to any topic
• A device can subscribe to any topic and receive published information

* Naturally, Security will also play a role but that largely depends on how the broker is setup and the
certificates on the clients
QOS (QUALITY OF SERVICE)
There are 3 levels of QOS
0. Almost Once (Fire and forget)
1. At least Once (Fire and get ack)
2. Exactly Once (Fire get and ack and ack the ack)
RETAIN
• The broker can retain a message and wait for a device to connect and then
immediately push a notification.
• This is super useful to notify devices of an action after they wake up from
sleep
LAST WILL
• If a device ungracefully disconnects. (The connection is killed without a
proper disconnect [dropped connection, the device runs out of power, crashes
etc.]) The broker can publish a last will
• The last will is a normal message that is published to clients that have
subscribed / interested in the fact that the device ungracefully diconnected
