Description
MQTT short for Message Queue Telemetry Transport, is a light weight open Source messaging protocol for the Internet of Things. Learn more:
Why should I use it? MQTT is a great and easy way to exchange low frequency messages like sensor readings, or program states etc. between multiple machines and services. Its very robust with a small footprint. It is based on the publish/subscribe paradigm and requires a central MQTT Broker.
Cool:
- You can host the broker in the public web and communicate with nodes in local networks.
- Which means you can communicate with your an Arduino anywhere on the planet which is connected to the internet: https://github.com/knolleary/pubsubclient
- The communication is asynchronous and won't block vvvv!
If you wan't to host your own broker have a look at:
- Simple but powerful broker: http://mosquitto.org/
- Full IoT stack including an MQTT broker for the Rasperry PI: http://thethingbox.io/
Funfact: The Facebook Messenger is build on MQTT: https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/building-facebook-messenger/10150259350998920
