IoT is happening now

WHY?

Open Hardware is everywhere

Raspberry Pi is a trademark of the Raspberry Pi Foundation

HTTP isn’t suitable

WHY?

Request/Response widely known Point-2-Point

HTTP is too verbose

Challenges

Constrained devices

Bi-directional

Scalability

Unreliable Networks

Push Messaging

Security

… there are more ;)

MQTT is a good fit

Getting Started with Eclipse Paho

How ?

MQTT Implementation

Open Source

“Reference Implementation”

Many languages: Java, Javascript, Lua, C, C++, Go, Python

Active Community

JS Library uses MQTT over Websockets

Paho facts

MqttClient client = new MqttClient( "tcp://localhost:1883", //URI"publisher", //Client IDnew MemoryPersistence()); //Persistenceclient.connect();

client.publish("my/topic/123",//topic "Hello!".getBytes(), //message

1, //QoSfalse); //retained

client.disconnect();

MqttClient client = new MqttClient(...);

MqttConnectOptions connOptions = new MqttConnectOptions();

connOptions.setKeepAliveInterval(120);connOptions.setWill("my/status","offline".getBytes(), 2, true); connOptions.setCleanSession(false); connOptions.setUserName("user"); connOptions.setPassword("pass".toCharArray());client.connect(connOptions);

MqttAsyncClient client = new MqttAsyncClient(...);client.connect(null, new IMqttActionListener() { @Overridepublic void onSuccess(IMqttToken asyncActionToken) { try {

client.publish(...);} catch (MqttException e) {}

}@Overridepublic void onFailure(IMqttToken asyncActionToken, Throwable exception) {}});

client.disconnect();

final MqttClient client = new MqttClient(...);client.setCallback(new MqttCallback() { @Overridepublic void connectionLost(Throwable cause) {}

@Overridepublic void messageArrived(String topic,MqttMessage message)throws Exception { System.out.println(new String(message.getPayload()));}

@Overridepublic void deliveryComplete(IMqttDeliveryToken token) {} });

client.connect();client.subscribe("#");

It’s Showtime
