MQTT adapter

MQTT adapter provides an MQTT API for sending and receiving messages through the platform.

Configuration

The service is configured using the environment variables presented in the following table. Note that any unset variables will be replaced with their default values.

Variable Description Default
MF_MQTT_ADAPTER_PORT Service MQTT port 1883
MF_MQTT_WS_PORT WebSocket port 8880
MF_NATS_URL NATS instance URL nats://localhost:4222
MF_THINGS_URL Things service URL localhost:8181

Deployment

The service is distributed as Docker container. The following snippet provides a compose file template that can be used to deploy the service container locally:

version: "2"
services:
  mqtt:
    image: mainflux/mqtt:[version]
    container_name: [instance name]
    ports:
      - [host machine port]:[configured port]
    environment:
      MF_THINGS_URL: [Things service URL]
      MF_NATS_URL: [NATS instance URL]
      MF_MQTT_ADAPTER_PORT: [Service MQTT port]
      MF_MQTT_WS_PORT: [Service WS port]

To start the service outside of the container, execute the following shell script:

# download the latest version of the service
go get github.com/mainflux/mainflux

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mainflux/mainflux/mqtt

# install dependencies
npm install

# set the environment variables and run the service
MF_THINGS_URL=[Things service URL] MF_NATS_URL=[NATS instance URL] MF_MQTT_ADAPTER_PORT=[Service MQTT port] MF_MQTT_WS_PORT=[Service WS port] node mqtt.js ..

Usage

To use MQTT adapter you should use channels/<channel_id>/messages. Client key should be passed as user's password. If you want to use MQTT over WebSocket, you could use Paho client:

  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/>
  <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/paho-mqtt/1.0.2/mqttws31.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    var wsbroker = "localhost";  //mqtt websocket enabled broker
    var wsport = 443 // port for above

    var client = new Paho.MQTT.Client(wsbroker, Number(wsport), '');

    client.onConnectionLost = function (responseObject) {
      console.log("connection lost: " + responseObject.errorMessage);
    };

    client.onMessageArrived = function (message) {
      console.log("Msg", message.destinationName, ' -- ', message.payloadString);
    };

    var options = {
      timeout: 3,
      userName: "<thing_id>",   // Replace <:your_thing_id>
      password: "<thing_key>",  // Replace <:your_thing_key>
      useSSL: true,
      onSuccess: function () {
        console.log("mqtt connected");
        // Connection succeeded; subscribe to our topic, you can add multile lines of these
        client.subscribe('channels/<channel_id>/messages', {qos: 1});  // Replace <:your_channel_id>

        // use the below if you want to publish to a topic on connect
	      var payload = [
	        {
	          "bn":"e35b157f-21b8-4adb-ab59-9df21461c815",

	        {

	          "t":-5,
	          "v":1.2
	        },
	        {
	          "n":"current",
	          "t":-4,
	          "v":1.3
	        }
	      ];
        var message = new Paho.MQTT.Message(JSON.stringify(payload));
        message.destinationName = "channels/<channel_id>/messages";  // Replace <:your_channel_id>
        client.send(message);
      },
      onFailure: function (message) {
        console.log("Connection failed: " + message.errorMessage);
      }
    };

    function init() {
      client.connect(options);
    }
