This repository contains a Python-based MQTT simulation tool designed to test and experiment with the MQTT protocol. Whether you're working on IoT projects or exploring publish-subscribe messaging patterns, this simulation provides a flexible and reliable environment.
- Publish/Subscribe Simulation: Mimics real-world MQTT messaging flows.
- Customizable Topics: Create, subscribe, and publish to custom MQTT topics.
- Broker Interaction: Seamlessly integrates with popular brokers like Mosquitto or HiveMQ.
- Asynchronous Operations: Leverages
asynciofor efficient message handling. - Extensibility: Easily adapt the codebase for your specific needs.
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/LazyDoomSlayer/python-mqtt-simulation cd python-mqtt-simulation -
Install the required Python dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Run the simulation script:
python mqtt_simulation.py
- Modify the broker settings, topic names, and payloads in the script to fit your use case.
- Example customization areas:
- Broker URL: Update with your MQTT broker address.
- Topics: Define your topics for publish/subscribe operations.
- QoS Levels: Adjust the quality of service (QoS) settings as needed.
- IoT Development: Test and debug IoT devices using an MQTT broker.
- Protocol Learning: Understand how MQTT messaging works in practice.
- Network Testing: Simulate real-time messaging in controlled environments.
- Python 3.8 or higher
- paho-mqtt library (included in
requirements.txt) - An MQTT broker for testing (e.g., Mosquitto, HiveMQ).
Contributions are welcome! If you have ideas, bug fixes, or new features, feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request.
- Thanks to the developers of paho-mqtt for their MQTT library.
- Inspired by real-world use cases in IoT and networking.
