The document outlines the functionalities and operational framework of MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), focusing on its use in constrained resource environments with unreliable networks. It details the core concepts, such as publish/subscribe mechanisms, quality of service levels, and session management, along with security considerations and architectural planning for implementing MQTT in applications. Additionally, it provides information on client libraries and brokers suitable for various development needs.
Getting started with MQTT - Virtual IoT Meetup presentation
- 1. Getting Started with Christian Götz, dc-square July 2nd 2015
- 2. Who am I? CEO @ @goetzchr Christian Götz, M. Sc.
- 3. What we do? Build HiveMQ Develop software solutions
- 4. Things
- 5. ✓ constrained ressources ✓ unreliable network connection ✓ low cost for hardware and data plan ✓ no power - only battery ✓ no home base (out-in-the-field) Characteristics of Things Yes, mobile networks are unreliable
- 6. How do things talk?
- 7. Things want ✓ Slim & lightweight protocols ✓ Bidirectional communication ✓ Little overhead ✓ Not to think about duplicates ✓ Not to care about different data consumers
- 8. used since 1991 widely known and adapted request/response point 2 point HTTP?
- 10. WANTED Simple to implement Provide Quality of Service Delivery Lightweight and Bandwidth Efficient Data Agnostic Continuous Session Awareness
- 14. Pub/Sub
- 15. Pub/Sub temperature sensor MQTT-Broker laptop mobile device publish: “21°C“ publish: “21°C“ publish: “21°C“ subscribe subscribe
- 16. One to Many Clients don’t know each other Every client can be publisher & subscriber Pub/Sub MQTT Broker MQTT Client MQTT Client MQTT Client PUBLISH PUBLISH PUBLISH
- 17. Core concept in MQTT Routing is based on Topics Component of each Publish/Subscribe message Topics myhome/groundfloor/livingroom/temperature
- 18. Topics myhome / groundfloor / livingroom / temperature topic level topic level topic level separator
- 19. Topics myhome / groundfloor / + / temperature only one level single-level wildcard
- 20. Topics myhome / groundfloor / # only at the end multiple topic levels multi-level wildcard
- 23. each client opens one connection Push capability even through firewalls Open Connection MQTT Broker MQTT Client MQTT Client MQTT Client PUBLISH PUBLISH PUBLISH
- 24. MQTT Client MQTT Broker CONNACK CONNECT Open a connection
- 27. PUBLISH packetId topicName qos retainFlag payload dupFlag MQTT-Packet: contains: Example 4314 “topic/1“ 1 false “temperature:32.5“ false (always 0 for qos 0) Publish a message
- 28. Subscribe to a topic MQTT Client MQTT Broker PUBLISH MQTT Client PUBLISHSUBACK SUBSCRIBE 1 2 4 3
- 29. SUBSCRIBE packetId qos1 topic1 qos2 topic2 ... MQTT-Packet: contains: Example 4312 1 “topic/1“ 0 “topic/1“ ... } } (list of topic + qos) Subscribe to a topic
- 32. PUBLISH packetId topicName qos retainFlag payload dupFlag MQTT-Packet: contains: Example 4314 “topic/1“ 1 false “temperature:32.5“ false (always 0 for qos 0) Publish a messagePublish a message
- 33. Quality of Service 0 MQTT Client MQTT Broker PUBLISH QoS 0 “at most once”
- 34. Quality of Service 1 MQTT Client MQTT Broker PUBACK PUBLISH QoS 1 “at least once”
- 35. Quality of Service 1 MQTT Client MQTT Broker PUBACK PUBLISH QoS 1 PUBACK packetId MQTT-Packet: contains: Example 4319 PUBLISH packetId topicName qos retainFlag payload dupFlag MQTT-Packet: contains: Example 4314 “topic/1“ 1 false “temperature:32.5“ false (always 0 for qos 0)
- 36. Quality of Service 2 MQTT Client MQTT Broker PUBREC PUBLISH QoS 2 PUBCOMP PUBREL “exactly once”
- 37. Quality of Service 2 MQTT Client MQTT Broker PUBREC PUBLISH QoS 2 PUBCOMP PUBREL PUBCOMP packetId MQTT-Packet: contains: Example 4320 PUBREC packetId MQTT-Packet: contains: Example 4320 PUBREL packetId MQTT-Packet: contains: Example 4320 PUBLISH packetId topicName qos retainFlag payload dupFlag MQTT-Packet: contains: Example 4314 “topic/1“ 1 false “temperature:32.5“ false (always 0 for qos 0)
- 38. Buffer Messages
- 39. 1. Last “good” message per topic 2. All messages for offline client Buffer messages
- 40. one for each topic client can set retained flag broker saves message deliver on first subscribe Retained Messages
- 41. Persistent Session Client requests session Broker stores Subscriptions Queuing only for QoS > 0 B Connect Subscribe device/+/status device/12/status: „1“ 1st B Re-Connect device/12/status: „1“ 2nd
- 42. Persistent Session Advantages Save bandwidth No message gets lost B Connect Subscribe device/+/status device/12/status: „1“ 1st B Re-Connect device/12/status: „1“ 2nd
- 44. Keep Alive Heartbeat Handels Half-Open TCP Connections Grace Period
- 45. Client looses Connection => stays “half-open” Client reconnect => Broker kicks out old client Client Take-Over
- 46. Last will and testament CONNECT clientId cleanSession username password lastWillTopic lastWillQos lastWillMessage keepAlive MQTT-Packet: contains: (optional) (optional) (optional) (optional) (optional) Example “client-1“ true “hans“ “letmein“ “/hans/will“ 2 “unexpected exit“ 60 B Connect LWT device123/status: „offline“ B dropped device123/status: „offline“
