Click for: original source

MQTT serves as a tool to connect many types of IoT devices in deployments of all magnitudes. It originally started in 1999 for oil and gas pipelines to communicate over remote satellites. By MobiDev.

What you will learn:

  • Why Is MQTT used in IoT development?
  • An example of an MQTT 5.0 small system deployment
  • Which clients support MQTT 5.0 and Python?
  • Pros and cons of an MQTT v5.0 local network
  • Major practical differences between MQTT v3.1.1 and v5.0
  • MQTT 5 challenges

MQTT v5.0 is a suitable option for local IoT device communication if you have a central device that can host a message broker for communication between devices and/or the host. Despite its drawbacks (most of which were eliminated in MQTT v5.0), this protocol can be used for communication between small-to-medium sized networks of IoT devices. Interesting!
