MQTT is becoming the protocol of IOT.
The best way of understanding MQTT is to use it, and to do that you need two things:
- An MQTT broker
- An MQTT client
Rather than installing your own broker (mosquitto) I recommend that you first start with a public test broker like test.mosquitto.org.
I also recommend you use a simple MQTT client like
- MQTTLens -Chrome extension -Tutorial here
- MQTT Client –Android App
The most popular MQTT clients are the mosquitto_sub and pub clients which come with Mosquitto so you will need to install mosquitto first to gain access to these clients
This site and newsletter is dedicated to help you learn and master the MQTT protocol, and use it in your applications.
