Internet of Things?

Technology that connects Devices

finally a use case for IPv6 ;)

Open Hardware is everywhere

simple

affordable

How do things talk?

HTTP/REST

used since 1991

widely known and adapted

HTTP 2.0 - still work in progress

MQTT is a good fit

I’ll tell you why

MQTT-SN Overview

Gateway MQTT-Broker

MQTT-SN MQTT / -SN

• UDP instead of TCP • Topic is just an ID (Preregister/Register) • Sleeping Clients • Different types of Gateways • Discovery Mechanisms

Getting started

MQTT Implementation

Open Source

“Reference Implementation”

Many languages: Java, Javascript, Lua, C, C++, Go, Python

Active Community

JS Library uses MQTT over Websockets

Paho facts

MqttClient client = new MqttClient( "tcp://localhost:1883", //URI "publisher", //Client ID new MemoryPersistence()); //Persistence

Paho Init Connection

MqttClient client = new MqttClient(...); !MqttConnectOptions connOptions = new MqttConnectOptions(); !connOptions.setKeepAliveInterval(120); connOptions.setWill("my/status", "offline".getBytes(), 2, true); connOptions.setCleanSession(false); connOptions.setUserName("user"); connOptions.setPassword(„pass".toCharArray()); !client.connect(connOptions);

Paho Init Connection

!!client.publish("my/topic/123",//topic "Hello!".getBytes(), //message

1, //QoS false); //retained !!

client.disconnect();

Paho Synchronous API

final MqttClient client = new MqttClient(...); client.setCallback(new MqttCallback() { @Override public void connectionLost(Throwable cause) {} !@Override public void messageArrived(String topic, MqttMessage message)throws Exception { System.out.println(new String(message.getPayload())); } !@Override public void deliveryComplete(IMqttDeliveryToken token) {} }); !client.connect(); client.subscribe("#");

Paho Synchronous API

MqttAsyncClient client = new MqttAsyncClient(...); client.connect(null, new IMqttActionListener() { @Override public void onSuccess(IMqttToken asyncActionToken) { try { client.publish(...); } catch (MqttException e) {}

} @Override public void onFailure(IMqttToken asyncActionToken, Throwable exception) {} }); !client.disconnect();
