Introduction In this project guide we will be developing python scripts to use a backup broker to publish and receive messages to improve message reliability in failure situations. MQTT offers three QOS settings -0,1,2 as described in the understanding QOS tutorial. QOS levels 1 and 2 require an acknowledgement from the MQTT broker and provide for reliable message transfer. However there are many circumstances were just relying on these QOS levels isn’t sufficient.

Welcome back to the workshop/project. If you haven’t read part one then it is here- Continue to part 1 We can send commands to our device and change the name we will now. Implement support for the backup name Get the device to report status data

Introduction Controlling Devices Using MQTT and PythonOnline tutorial and downloadable Project workbook where we use MQTT to control a python script. The script is a simple sensor but I have used the same technique to control many other python scripts.What it covers: Basic topic design Basic MQTT API creation Prerequisites You should be familiar with the Paho MQTT client Project MQTT can not only be used for collecting sensor data it can also be used for controlling devices. In this mini workshop we will be creating a device in Python that can be controlled using MQTT. Although our sample device

The Raspberry Pi has 40 General purpose Input/output Pins (GPIO) that can be used for controlling external hardware. There are  a number of add-on boards called hats which plug into these pins and provide various sensors. The most common one being the sense hat.

The MQTT sensor data logger logs data on all monitored topics to the same log files. If the data need to be split into topics then it will need to be done by the log analyser software.

In this project we will create a simple data logger to store MQTT messages in a sqlite database. MQTT message Data can be JSON or simple text and is stored as is. The project Consists of two modules. A sql logger class module sql_logger.py The logging script. The script uses a main thread to get the messages(on_message callback) and a worker thread to store the data. A queue is used to move the messages between threads.

This tutorial is in response to a question I received on the client connections tutorial page: I’ve been struggling to find a real client connection status tool, dashboard or anything which will show a list of my clients and their connection status. Clearly the broker via the low-level protocol mechanics maintain an MQTT keepalive table for each client — that’s how Last Will and Testament (LWT) is triggered internally by the broker. However how does one display such table? The problem is that you have no way of accessing the connections table on the broker so the only way is to

Encoding data in JSON is popular for sending data over the Internet, and also for storing data. You can encode a Python List or dictionary in JSON format and then decode it back into a list or dictionary as illustrated in the diagram below:
