  • Synchronize 25 ESP8266 to start playback of an audio file at the same time
    This is a perfect use case for MQTT, e.g. This library for ESP boards. Create a broker on the network (e.g. a Raspberry Pi running Mosquitto, and have all the ESP boards subscribe to a topic. When you want to play a sound, publish a message to the topic, and all of the ESPs should see it very quickly. You don't need to synchronize clocks any more because it's simply based on the timing of publishing a message. Source: 4 months ago
  • An AsyncAPI Example: Building Your First Event-driven API
    Optional: Mosquitto, an open-source message broker that implements the MQTT protocol; this tutorial uses the public test server. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
  • A Modern High-Performance Open Source Message Queuing System
    I think he means implementation of MQTT protocol, like https://mosquitto.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
  • Need help using Tasmota with Reed sensors on multiple doors
    Could MQTT work for you? You'd need a broker like Mosquitto, and then any of a number of MQTT clients. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Home charger status chart, enjoying the MQTT integration from OpenEVSE. Curious why Volvo XC40 Recharge resumes charging at 0.4A for 10m a few times after it's done.
    MQTT is a message broker that's used commonly in IoT (internet of things). This is from all of one week's experience, so take it with a grain of salt, but it's a publisher/subscriber model where each device defines some channels (like openevse/wh openevse/amp etc) and then publishes its stats to an MQTT broker like Mosquitto. Then other services (I've tried it with HomeAssistant and openHAB) pull in the values to... Source: about 1 year ago
  • MQTT and sensors
    Use the Paho library with Python to transmit your measurements, use Mosquitto as the brokers on the other side to hold data and deliver it to your dashboard code when needed. Source: about 1 year ago
  • 2023 Jan 30 Stickied -FAQ- & -HELPDESK- thread - Boot problems? Power supply problems? Display problems? Networking problems? Need ideas? Get help with these and other questions!
    MQTT from the ESP style devices is well supported - you could use the Pi as the broker. Mosquitto is not very heavy in processor or memory - I ran it happily on a zero :-) Just watch out on the security side if you are not using a private (none customer) WiFi... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Which MQTT (or similar protocol) broker for a few 10k IoT devices with quite a lot of traffic?
    How about https://mosquitto.org/. Kafka would also work very well and give you the ability to scale huge. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Smart plug reading my Ender 3 v2 at 1100 watts. That simply can't be right??
    On the Raspberry Pi you need some software to manage the controller and the Zigbee network. Home-assistant can control many of these USB based Zigbee controllers directly through the ZHA plugin. I however opted to use zigbee2mqtt, which give you more control, but in turn requires that you have an MQTT broker installed to make it talk to Home-assistant. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Is Master-Master Replication the Best Way to Architect This?
    This isn't a technology that really falls under traditional DBA. I'm talking about technologies like Apache Kafka or Pulsar. They allow for fan out queueing, so you can "produce" from one stream (your stock system/users of your system) and "consume" to multipule destinations, all in near real time. Kafka is the most popular system that does this, but there's more lightweight alternatives out there like... Source: about 1 year ago
  • Anyone accessing AC200MAX from Internet?
    I have a Raspberry Pi running bluetti-mqtt within bluetooth range of my device, Mosquitto MQTT broker, Prometheus, and Grafana, with a custom script to tie it all together. For remote access I’m relying on Tailscale, since running my own VPN just isn’t worth the effort. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Terminal command to read Sensor
    In this case, the Tasmota smartplug would act as the client. For the broker, Mosquitto is probably the most popular, and is already built into the main Raspberry Pi repository. MQTT was built to be lightweight, so just about any option will run on a pi. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Publish and subscribe to the tingg.io MQTT broker
    If you want more control/flexibility, why not run a local MQTT broker like Mosquitto? Source: over 1 year ago
  • Looking for advice how to tackle continuous data processing from multiple ESP32's to PC
    As other comments suggest MQTT is your way to go. Install mosquitto broker on PC. An MQTT broker is nothing but a central node that handles all transactions. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Which highlevel programming language is best to use if trying to build complex IOT systems/products?
    Does not matter: most IoT solutions use MQTT to transport data. All cloud providers support it. If not, you can run your own instance of Mosquitto. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Ask HN: What stack do you use hosting from home?
    The only thing I host from home at the moment is a Mosquitto[1] server. That serves to receive telemetry data from an embodied AI research platform that have been working with. It's running on Fedora 36 on a bare-metal Lenovo mini-tower system. Nothing fancy, just something I picked up at the local university surplus store for like $40.00 or something a while back.

  • Discussion Thread
    For the server we used mosquitto because we already used it in the past (and it's relatively simple), for the client MQTTnet because it's .net and it seemed good enough (mosquitto has a client library too but it's C so I'd have to write some interop). It's a simple protocol so it shouldn't really matter which implementation you use. Source: over 1 year ago
  • User specific server sent events using flask
    From your description it sounds that you are more in need of a message queue. Then your client can connect via web sockets using the paho mqtt js library and your back-end python can use paho-mqtt py library. But you will need a MQTT broker Mosquitto but I personally prefer the RabbitMQ MQTT Plugin. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Confluent - MQTT <-> KAFKA
    We would need mosquitto to run an MQTT broker which will expose topics on which we can publish and subscribe data. Https://mosquitto.org/. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
  • hi how complex is to build my own mqtt broker?
    Simple just install mosquitto or similar Https://mosquitto.org/. Source: almost 2 years ago
