11 MQTT is a publish/subscribe model that runs over TCP/IP sockets or WebSockets. MQTT over WebSockets can be secured with SSL.

15 = 2. MQTT Features =
16
17
18 The MQTT protocol runs on TCP / IP or other network protocols and provides an ordered, lossless, bidirectional connection. Features include:
19
20 * The publish / subscribe messaging pattern used, which provides one-to-many messaging for decoupling from the application.
21 * Message-masking mechanism for payload content.
22 * There are three Quality of Service (QoS) for transmitting messages:
23 * At most, messages of this level may be lost or duplicated, and message postings depend on the underlying TCP / IP network. That is: <= 1
24 * At one time, this level will ensure that the message arrives, but the message may be repeated. That is:> = 1
25 * Only once, make sure the message arrives only once. That is: = 1. In some demanding billing systems, you can use this level Data transfer and protocol exchange is minimized (protocol header only 2 bytes) to reduce network traffic
26 * Notification mechanism, notify the transmission of both sides when an exception occurs

36 The server we use here is ThingSpeak which has an intuitive chart to show the test result for our test.The ThingSpeak IoT service now supports MQTT subscriptions to receive instant updates when [[ThingSpeak>>url:https://thingspeak.com/]] channel gets updated. The method here is general and can be used with other IoT servers for MQTT connection as well.

68 MQTT agreement to achieve the need: client and server There are three identities in the MQTT protocol: Publish, Broker (server), Subscribe. Among them, the publisher and the subscriber of the message are all clients, the broker is the server, and the publisher can be both the subscriber and the subscriber. MQTT transmission of information is divided into: Topic and payload in two parts Topic, can be understood as the type of message subscribers Subscribe, you will receive the theme of the message content (payload) The payload, which can be understood as the content of the message, refers to the specific content to be used by the subscribers.

353 == 5.1 Configure to support general mqtt server ==
354
355
356 First, try to run **mosquitto_pub** in Linux console to send a data to MQTT server.
357
358 For example: for ThingSpeak, a MQTT publish command is:
359
360 (% class="box infomessage" %)
361 (((
362 **mosquitto_pub -h mqtt.thingspeak.com -p 1883 -u dragino -P QZXTAKE88V3S7O2J  -i dragino_Client -t channels/200893/publish/B9Z0R25QNVEBKIFY -m "field1=34&field2=89&status=MQTTPUBLISH"**
363 )))
364
365 What now we need to put in the LG01 is how to combine this command.
366
367 1. LG01 web console -> Sensor -> MQTT
368 1. Choose general Server
369 1. [[image:image-20220531142342-37.png]](((

371
372 Refer to your server to fill in.

378
379
380 Ex:ThingSpeak Server
381
382
383 )))
384
385 According to MQTT commands: mosquitto_pub, we need to put
386
387 * server[-h] : mqtt.thingspeak.com
388 * port[-p] : 1883
389 * User Name[-u]: dragino
390 * Password[-P]:QZXTAKE88V3S7O2J
391 * Client ID[-i]: dragino_Client
392 * topic_format[-t]: channels/CHANNEL/publish/WRITE_API
393 * data_format[-m]: DATA&status=MQTTPUBLISH
394
395 In the mqtt script, the upper **CHANNEL** will be replaced by the parameter (remote channel in IoT server). and the **WRITE_API** will be replaced by the settings in write api key. the **DATA** will be replaced by the value stored in the /var/iot/channels/LOCAL_CHANNEL file.
396
397 MQTT script will keep checking the files in /var/iot/channels/ . If it find a match Local channel, then the MQTT script will send out the data of this local channel to a remote channel according to the setting above.
398
399 User can also enable MQTT debug in the LG01 ~-~-> IoT Server settings and run logread in Linux console to see how the mqtt command is compose. below is an example:
