How to use the Arduino PubSub MQTT client?

Before you can use this client you need to install it into the Arduino Library. Go to the Library manager and so a search for MQTT. You will find quite a few listings scroll down the select the PubSub client. The documentation for the client API is available here.

Which is the default version of MQTT for Arduino?

This is configurable via MQTT_KEEPALIVE in PubSubClient.h. The client uses MQTT 3.1.1 by default. It can be changed to use MQTT 3.1 by changing value of MQTT_VERSION in PubSubClient.h. The library uses the Arduino Ethernet Client api for interacting with the underlying network hardware.

What kind of client does the Arduino library use?

The client uses MQTT 3.1.1 by default. It can be changed to use MQTT 3.1 by changing value of MQTT_VERSION in PubSubClient.h. The library uses the Arduino Ethernet Client api for interacting with the underlying network hardware. This means it Just Works with a growing number of boards and shields, including:

Where can I find the PubSub client for Arduino?

Go to the Library manager and so a search for MQTT. You will find quite a few listings scroll down the select the PubSub client. The documentation for the client API is available here.

Why does MQTT work with Arduino ESP8266?

It is due to the client.loop at the loop of arduino. Everytime the client.loop is running, it check any data require to publish or any receive data from subscribe. It just like a polling mechanism to check data by the program. I add delay (200) at the main loop, then the traffic drop significantly and the subscribe data can receive more reliably.

Is the Arduino Uno based on the ESP8266?

Nowadays many MQTT nodes are based around the ESP8266. However far before the ESP8266 the Arduino UNO already had Ethernet capabilities with an Ethernetshield.

Can a Arduino Uno be used as a MQTT node?

However far before the ESP8266 the Arduino UNO already had Ethernet capabilities with an Ethernetshield. The aim of this instructable is to show how one can use A UNO with W5100 shield or module as an MQTT node and in the software I will show some simple techniques of how to deal with outbound MQTT messages and inbound MQTT messages.
