vNode MQTT Client
MQTT Client
vNode is an industrial IoT gateway designed to collect data from your premises and deliver it to virtually any cloud destination. The MQTT protocol has become one of the main pillars of the IoT due to its simplicity and lightness.
Both are important constraints as IoT devices are often limited in power, consumption, and bandwidth.
The MQTT module acts as Publisher and Subscriber, automatically converting data to the MQTT format during transmission and reception.
MQTT protocol consists of 4 fundamental parts within its communications structure:
Publisher: publishes messages to a topic on a Broker (devices, sensors, applications, IIoT gateways)
Broker: an intermediary entity that manages MQTT client’s communications (AWS, Azure IoT Hub, Google, Mosquitto, HiveMQ, Cloud Studio, Ubidots etc.)
Subscriber: subscribes to a topic on an MQTT Broker and read the messages.
Topic: repository of the data into the Broker, filter the messages according to the client
