MQTT Serial Software Installation on Linux

Because Mosquitto does not have serial interface capability we developed a Python program that transfers MQTT messages between a serial port and Mosquitto.

 

[Install instructions here]

Now that we have the program installed and a connection made between our serial interface and Mosquitto we can check if it is working. You need a module connected that is running an MQTT sketch.

Open a terminal window and type mosquitto_sub -v -t 'EFM/#' into it.

 

You should see messages from your module printing out like this.
