NodeMCU is an open source IoT platform that uses the Lua scripting language. More information about the mqtt-client can be found here. This example show how to connect to the MQTT Broker.
-- initiate the mqtt client and set keepalive timer to 120sec
mqtt = mqtt.Client("client_id", 120, "username", "password")
mqtt:on("connect", function(con) print ("connected") end)
mqtt:on("offline", function(con) print ("offline") end)
-- on receive message
mqtt:on("message", function(conn, topic, data)
print(topic .. ":" )
if data ~= nil then
print(data)
end
end)
mqtt:connect("hostname", port, 0, function(conn)
print("connected")
-- subscribe topic with qos = 0
mqtt:subscribe("my_topic",0, function(conn)
-- publish a message with data = my_message, QoS = 0, retain = 0
mqtt:publish("my_topic","my_message",0,0, function(conn)
print("sent")
end)
end)
end)
