Hi all!
I was looking for a TouchPortal plugin to communicate with a 3rd party service using MQTT.
There was only a closed source version available, and it didn't include all features I needed for integrating it. So here we are!
WIP

| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| MQTT Client ID | Unique identifier used for the MQTT connection. | mqtt-client-id |
| MQTT Host | Host of the MQTT Broker we should connect to. Use without mqtt: prefix. |
localhost |
| MQTT Port | Port of the MQTT Broker we should use. Normally 1883 or 8883. |
1883 |
| Use SSL / MQTTS | Whether we should connect to the MQTT Broker using a secure connection. Should be set to false or true |
false |
| Use older MQTT V3 instead of V5 | Some brokers only support connections using MQTT Version 3.1.1, normally not necessary. Should be set to false or true. |
false |
| MQTT Username | Username to use for authenticating to the MQTT Broker | |
| MQTT Password | Password to use for authenticating to the MQTT Broker | |
MQTT Topic <number> |
The MQTT topic we should listen for. Once it broadcasts a message, we trigger an TouchPortal event if set up. |
- Launching TP when MQTT broker couldn't connect does not reconnect afterwards.
-
"It is not connecting to my MQTT broker!"
You can check the Logs tab in TouchPortal to see what exactly is going on. Remember that this is an MQTT client, not a broker, so you will need a MQTT API/broker to connect to. -
"Can you use multiple MQTT clients?"
No. Only 1 client is supported at the moment. -
"Why is there a maximum of 8 MQTT topics?"
This is because of current limitations in the Java SDK of TouchPortal I use. It is being worked on.
