Authenticating and encrypting MQTT to Mosquitto with SSL A huge part of modern Internet security is SSL/TLS, which encrypts data and authenticates connections. This is the technology behind HTTPS, and can be used to securely run MQTT on the Internet.
Control a power outlet with an ESP8266 running MQTT via a relay The ESP8266 is a little computer gizmo with bundled WiFi that's easy to incorporate into a wireless control system. The on-board computer is tiny, but it's powerful enough to run a MQTT client. MQTT in turn is an extremely light-weight message-oriented communication system. The example shows an ESP8266 with custom software controlling a relay, that in turn controls enough AC power to turn a light on/off. Controlling the relay is fairly simple, since the ESP8266 has an output strong enough to drive the coil of a relay.
Deploying Mosquitto MQTT broker on Linux using Docker Getting started with Mosquitto is deceptively easy. We show you how to avoid the pitfalls.
MQTT testing for IoT devices on the Raspberry Pi MQTT is a lightweight communications protocol meant for Internet of Things devices. It acts like a giant merry-go-round sending messages through a hierarchical structure of ports. It offers three levels of Quality of Service, from level 0 where messages can be lost, to level 2 where messages are held and resent if necessary. MQTT is easy to install on a Raspberry Pi or other Linux Single Board Computing device. MQTT itself is powerful, and the NODE RED platform (which is bundled in the Raspberry Pi) can make great use of MQTT and other facilities.
