MQTT-SN Publisher

Overview

MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight publish/subscribe messaging protocol optimized for small sensors and mobile devices.

MQTT-SN can be considered as a version of MQTT which is adapted to the peculiarities of a wireless communication environment. While MQTT requires a reliable TCP/IP transport, MQTT-SN is designed to be usable on any datagram-based transport like UDP, ZigBee or even a plain UART (with an additional framing protocol).

The Zephyr MQTT-SN Publisher sample application is a MQTT-SN v1.2 client that sends MQTT-SN PUBLISH messages to a MQTT-SN gateway. It also SUBSCRIBEs to a topic. See the MQTT-SN v1.2 spec for more information.

The source code of this sample application can be found at: :zephyr_file:`samples/net/mqtt_sn_publisher`.

Requirements

• Linux machine
• MQTT-SN gateway, like Eclipse Paho
• Mosquitto server: any version that supports MQTT v3.1.1. This sample was tested with mosquitto 1.6.
• Mosquitto subscriber
• LAN for testing purposes (Ethernet)

Build and Running

Currently, this sample application only supports static IP addresses. Open the :file:`prj.conf` file and set the IP addresses according to the LAN environment.

You will also need to start a MQTT-SN gateway. With paho, you can either build it from source - see PAHO MQTT-SN Gateway - or run an unofficial docker image, like kyberpunk/paho.

On your Linux host computer, open 3 terminal windows. At first, start mosquitto:

$ sudo mosquitto -v -p 1883

Then, in another window, start the gateway, e.g. by using docker:

$ docker run -it -p 10000:10000 -p 10000:10000/udp --name paho -v $PWD/gateway.conf:/etc/paho/gateway.conf:ro kyberpunk/paho

Then, locate your zephyr directory and type:

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/net/mqtt_sn_publisher
   :board: native_posix_64
   :goals: build -t run
   :compact:

Optionally, use any MQTT explorer to connect to your broker.
