MQTT Protocol Overview

MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight publish-subscribe messaging protocol widely used in IoT applications. This online client connects to MQTT brokers via WebSocket, enabling real-time communication directly from your browser.

Client Features

  • Connect to any MQTT broker supporting WebSocket connections
  • Subscribe to multiple topics with wildcard support (+ and #)
  • Publish messages with configurable QoS levels and retain flag
  • View and filter incoming messages in real-time
  • Support for Last Will and Testament (LWT) messages

Understanding QoS Levels

QoS 0: At Most Once

Fire and forget delivery. The message is sent once without acknowledgment. Best for non-critical data where occasional loss is acceptable.

QoS 1: At Least Once

Guaranteed delivery with possible duplicates. The message is sent until an acknowledgment is received. Suitable for important notifications.

QoS 2: Exactly Once

Guaranteed delivery exactly once using a four-step handshake. Best for critical transactions where duplicates are unacceptable.

Topic Wildcards

  • Single-level wildcard (+) matches one topic level: sensor/+/temperature
  • Multi-level wildcard (#) matches any number of levels: home/#
  • Wildcards can be combined: +/sensor/#

WebSocket Limitation

This browser-based client only supports WebSocket connections (ws:// or wss://). To connect to traditional MQTT brokers (TCP port 1883), you'll need a broker that exposes a WebSocket endpoint, typically on port 8083 (ws) or 8084 (wss).
