# ESP-MQTT

[中文]

## Overview

ESP-MQTT is an implementation of MQTT protocol client, which is a lightweight publish/subscribe messaging protocol. Now ESP-MQTT supports MQTT v5.0.

## Features

> - Support MQTT over TCP, SSL with Mbed TLS, MQTT over WebSocket, and MQTT over WebSocket Secure

> - Easy to setup with URI

> - Multiple instances (multiple clients in one application)

> - Support subscribing, publishing, authentication, last will messages, keep alive pings, and all 3 Quality of Service (QoS) levels (it should be a fully functional client)

## Application Examples

> - tcp demonstrates how to implement MQTT communication over TCP (default port 1883).

> - ssl demonstrates how to use SSL transport to implement MQTT communication over TLS (default port 8883).

> - ssl_ds demonstrates how to use digital signature peripheral for authentication to implement MQTT communication over TLS (default port 8883).

> - ssl_mutual_auth demonstrates how to use certificates for authentication to implement MQTT communication (default port 8883).

> - ssl_psk demonstrates how to use pre-shared keys for authentication to implement MQTT communication over TLS (default port 8883).

> - ws demonstrates how to implement MQTT communication over WebSocket (default port 80).

> - wss demonstrates how to implement MQTT communication over WebSocket Secure (default port 443).

> - mqtt5 demonstrates how to use ESP-MQTT library to connect to broker with MQTT v5.0.

> - custom_outbox demonstrates how to customize the outbox in the ESP-MQTT library.

## MQTT Message Retransmission

A new MQTT message can be created by calling `esp_mqtt_client_publish` or its non-blocking counterpart `esp_mqtt_client_enqueue`.

Messages with QoS 0 are sent only once. QoS 1 and 2 behave differently since the protocol requires additional steps to complete the process.

The ESP-MQTT library opts to always retransmit unacknowledged QoS 1 and 2 publish messages to prevent data loss in faulty connections, even though the MQTT specification requires the re-transmission only on reconnect with Clean Session flag been set to 0 (set `disable_clean_session` to true for this behavior).

QoS 1 and 2 messages that may need retransmission are always enqueued, but first transmission try occurs immediately if `esp_mqtt_client_publish` is used. A transmission retry for unacknowledged messages will occur after `message_retransmit_timeout`. After CONFIG_MQTT_OUTBOX_EXPIRED_TIMEOUT_MS messages will expire and be deleted. If CONFIG_MQTT_REPORT_DELETED_MESSAGES is set, an event will be sent to notify the user.

## Configuration

The configuration is made by setting fields in `esp_mqtt_client_config_t` struct. The configuration struct has the following sub structs to configure different aspects of the client operation.

> - `esp_mqtt_client_config_t::broker_t` - Allow to set address and security verification.

> - `esp_mqtt_client_config_t::credentials_t` - Client credentials for authentication.

> - `esp_mqtt_client_config_t::session_t` - Configuration for MQTT session aspects.

> - `esp_mqtt_client_config_t::network_t` - Networking related configuration.

> - `esp_mqtt_client_config_t::task_t` - Allow to configure FreeRTOS task.

> - `esp_mqtt_client_config_t::buffer_t` - Buffer size for input and output.

In the following sections, the most common aspects are detailed.

### Broker

#### Address

Broker address can be set by usage of `address` struct. The configuration can be made by usage of `uri` field or the combination of `hostname`, `transport` and `port`. Optionally, `path` could be set, this field is useful in WebSocket connections.

The `uri` field is used in the format `scheme://hostname:port/path`.

- Currently support `mqtt`, `mqtts`, `ws`, `wss` schemes

- MQTT over TCP samples:

  - `mqtt://mqtt.eclipseprojects.io`: MQTT over TCP, default port 1883

  - `mqtt://mqtt.eclipseprojects.io:1884`: MQTT over TCP, port 1884

  - `mqtt://username:password@mqtt.eclipseprojects.io:1884`: MQTT over TCP, port 1884, with username and password

- MQTT over SSL samples:

  - `mqtts://mqtt.eclipseprojects.io`: MQTT over SSL, port 8883

  - `mqtts://mqtt.eclipseprojects.io:8884`: MQTT over SSL, port 8884

- MQTT over WebSocket samples:

  - `ws://mqtt.eclipseprojects.io:80/mqtt`

- MQTT over WebSocket Secure samples:

  - `wss://mqtt.eclipseprojects.io:443/mqtt`

- Minimal configurations:

    const esp_mqtt_client_config_t mqtt_cfg = {
        .broker.address.uri = "mqtt://mqtt.eclipseprojects.io",
    };
    esp_mqtt_client_handle_t client = esp_mqtt_client_init(&mqtt_cfg);
    esp_mqtt_client_register_event(client, ESP_EVENT_ANY_ID, mqtt_event_handler, client);
    esp_mqtt_client_start(client);

Note

By default MQTT client uses event loop library to post related MQTT events (connected, subscribed, published, etc.).

#### Verification

For secure connections with TLS used, and to guarantee Broker’s identity, the `verification` struct must be set. The broker certificate may be set in PEM or DER format. To select DER, the equivalent `certificate_len` field must be set. Otherwise, a null-terminated string in PEM format should be provided to `certificate` field.

- Get certificate from server, example: `mqtt.eclipseprojects.io`

        openssl s_client -showcerts -connect mqtt.eclipseprojects.io:8883 < /dev/null \
        2> /dev/null | openssl x509 -outform PEM > mqtt_eclipse_org.pem

- Check the sample application: ssl

- Configuration:

    const esp_mqtt_client_config_t mqtt_cfg = {
        .broker = {
          .address.uri = "mqtts://mqtt.eclipseprojects.io:8883",
          .verification.certificate = (const char *)mqtt_eclipse_org_pem_start,
        },
    };

For details about other fields, please check the API Reference and esp_tls_server_verification.

### Client Credentials

All client related credentials are under the `credentials` field.

> - `username`: pointer to the username used for connecting to the broker, can also be set by URI

> - `client_id`: pointer to the client ID, defaults to `ESP32_%CHIPID%` where `%CHIPID%` are the last 3 bytes of MAC address in hex format

#### Authentication

It is possible to set authentication parameters through the `authentication` field. The client supports the following authentication methods:

> - `password`: use a password by setting

> - `certificate` and `key`: mutual authentication with TLS, and both can be provided in PEM or DER format

> - `use_secure_element`: use secure element (ATECC608A) interfaced to ESP32 series

> - `ds_data`: use Digital Signature Peripheral available in some Espressif devices

### Session

For MQTT session-related configurations, `session` fields should be used.

#### Last Will and Testament

MQTT allows for a last will and testament (LWT) message to notify other clients when a client ungracefully disconnects. This is configured by the following fields in the `last_will` struct.

> - `topic`: pointer to the LWT message topic

> - `msg`: pointer to the LWT message

> - `msg_len`: length of the LWT message, required if `msg` is not null-terminated

> - `qos`: quality of service for the LWT message

> - `retain`: specifies the retain flag of the LWT message

### Change Settings in Project Configuration Menu

The settings for MQTT can be found using `idf.py menuconfig`, under `Component config` > `ESP-MQTT Configuration`.

The following settings are available:

- CONFIG_MQTT_PROTOCOL_311: enable 3.1.1 version of MQTT protocol

- CONFIG_MQTT_TRANSPORT_SSL and CONFIG_MQTT_TRANSPORT_WEBSOCKET: enable specific MQTT transport layer, such as SSL, WEBSOCKET, and WEBSOCKET_SECURE

- CONFIG_MQTT_CUSTOM_OUTBOX: disable default implementation of mqtt_outbox, so a specific implementation can be supplied

## Events

The following events may be posted by the MQTT client:

- `MQTT_EVENT_BEFORE_CONNECT`: The client is initialized and about to start connecting to the broker.

- `MQTT_EVENT_CONNECTED`: The client has successfully established a connection to the broker. The client is now ready to send and receive data.

- `MQTT_EVENT_DISCONNECTED`: The client has aborted the connection due to being unable to read or write data, e.g., because the server is unavailable.

- `MQTT_EVENT_SUBSCRIBED`: The broker has acknowledged the client’s subscribe request. The event data contains the message ID of the subscribe message.

- `MQTT_EVENT_UNSUBSCRIBED`: The broker has acknowledged the client’s unsubscribe request. The event data contains the message ID of the unsubscribe message.

- `MQTT_EVENT_PUBLISHED`: The broker has acknowledged the client’s publish message. This is only posted for QoS level 1 and 2, as level 0 does not use acknowledgements. The event data contains the message ID of the publish message.

- `MQTT_EVENT_DATA`: The client has received a publish message. The event data contains: message ID, name of the topic it was published to, received data and its length. For data that exceeds the internal buffer, multiple `MQTT_EVENT_DATA` events are posted and `current_data_offset` and `total_data_len` from event data updated to keep track of the fragmented message.

- `MQTT_EVENT_ERROR`: The client has encountered an error. The field `error_handle` in the event data contains `error_type` that can be used to identify the error. The type of error determines which parts of the `error_handle` struct is filled.

int esp_mqtt_client_subscribe_single(esp_mqtt_client_handle_t client, const char *topic, int qos)

  Subscribe the client to defined topic with defined qos.

  Notes:

  - Client must be connected to send subscribe message

  - This API is could be executed from a user task or from a MQTT event callback i.e. internal MQTT task (API is protected by internal mutex, so it might block if a longer data receive operation is in progress.

  - `esp_mqtt_client_subscribe` could be used to call this function.

  Notes:

  - Client must be connected to send subscribe message

  - This API is could be executed from a user task or from a MQTT event callback i.e. internal MQTT task (API is protected by internal mutex, so it might block if a longer data receive operation is in progress.

  - `esp_mqtt_client_subscribe` could be used to call this function.

  Parameters:

    - client – MQTT client handle

    message_id of the subscribe message on success -1 on failure

int esp_mqtt_client_publish(esp_mqtt_client_handle_t client, const char *topic, const char *data, int len, int qos, int retain)

  Client to send a publish message to the broker.

  Notes:

  - This API might block for several seconds, either due to network timeout (10s) or if publishing payloads longer than internal buffer (due to message fragmentation)

  - Client doesn’t have to be connected for this API to work, enqueueing the messages with qos>1 (returning -1 for all the qos=0 messages if disconnected). If MQTT_SKIP_PUBLISH_IF_DISCONNECTED is enabled, this API will not attempt to publish when the client is not connected and will always return -1.

  - It is thread safe, please refer to `esp_mqtt_client_subscribe` for details

  Parameters:

    - client – MQTT client handle

    - topic – topic string

    - data – payload string (set to NULL, sending empty payload message)

    - len – data length, if set to 0, length is calculated from payload string

    - qos – QoS of publish message

    - retain – retain flag

  Returns:

    message_id of the publish message (for QoS 0 message_id will always be zero) on success. -1 on failure, -2 in case of full outbox.

int esp_mqtt_client_enqueue(esp_mqtt_client_handle_t client, const char *topic, const char *data, int len, int qos, int retain, bool store)

  Enqueue a message to the outbox, to be sent later. Typically used for messages with qos>0, but could be also used for qos=0 messages if store=true.

  This API generates and stores the publish message into the internal outbox and the actual sending to the network is performed in the mqtt-task context (in contrast to the esp_mqtt_client_publish() which sends the publish message immediately in the user task’s context). Thus, it could be used as a non blocking version of esp_mqtt_client_publish().

  Parameters:

    - client – MQTT client handle

    - topic – topic string

    - data – payload string (set to NULL, sending empty payload message)

    - len – data length, if set to 0, length is calculated from payload string

    - qos – QoS of publish message

    - retain – retain flag

    - store – if true, all messages are enqueued; otherwise only QoS 1 and QoS 2 are enqueued

  Returns:

    message_id if queued successfully, -1 on failure, -2 in case of full outbox.

### Structures

struct esp_mqtt_error_codes

  MQTT error code structure to be passed as a contextual information into ERROR event

  Important: This structure extends `esp_tls_last_error` error structure and is backward compatible with it (so might be down-casted and treated as `esp_tls_last_error` error, but recommended to update applications if used this way previously)

  Use this structure directly checking error_type first and then appropriate error code depending on the source of the error:

  | error_type | related member variables | note | | MQTT_ERROR_TYPE_TCP_TRANSPORT | esp_tls_last_esp_err, esp_tls_stack_err, esp_tls_cert_verify_flags, sock_errno | Error reported from tcp_transport/esp-tls | | MQTT_ERROR_TYPE_CONNECTION_REFUSED | connect_return_code | Internal error reported from MQTT broker on connection |

### Macros

MQTT_OVER_TCP_SCHEME

MQTT_OVER_SSL_SCHEME

MQTT_OVER_WS_SCHEME

MQTT_OVER_WSS_SCHEME

MQTT_ERROR_TYPE_ESP_TLS

  MQTT_ERROR_TYPE_TCP_TRANSPORT error type hold all sorts of transport layer errors, including ESP-TLS error, but in the past only the errors from MQTT_ERROR_TYPE_ESP_TLS layer were reported, so the ESP-TLS error type is re-defined here for backward compatibility

esp_mqtt_client_subscribe(client_handle, topic_type, qos_or_size)

  Convenience macro to select subscribe function to use.

  Notes:

  - Usage of `esp_mqtt_client_subscribe_single` is the same as previous esp_mqtt_client_subscribe, refer to it for details.

  Parameters:

    - client_handle – MQTT client handle

    - topic_type – Needs to be char* for single subscription or `esp_mqtt_topic_t` for multiple topics

    - qos_or_size – It’s either a qos when subscribing to a single topic or the size of the subscription array when subscribing to multiple topics.

  Returns:

    message_id of the subscribe message on success -1 on failure -2 in case of full outbox.

### Type Definitions

typedef void *esp_event_loop_handle_t

typedef void *esp_event_handler_t

typedef struct esp_mqtt_client *esp_mqtt_client_handle_t

typedef enum esp_mqtt_event_id_t esp_mqtt_event_id_t

  MQTT event types.

  User event handler receives context data in `esp_mqtt_event_t` structure with

  - client - MQTT client handle

  - various other data depending on event type

typedef enum esp_mqtt_connect_return_code_t esp_mqtt_connect_return_code_t

  MQTT connection error codes propagated via ERROR event

typedef enum esp_mqtt_error_type_t esp_mqtt_error_type_t

  MQTT connection error codes propagated via ERROR event

typedef enum esp_mqtt_transport_t esp_mqtt_transport_t

typedef enum esp_mqtt_protocol_ver_t esp_mqtt_protocol_ver_t

  MQTT protocol version used for connection

typedef struct esp_mqtt_error_codes esp_mqtt_error_codes_t

  MQTT error code structure to be passed as a contextual information into ERROR event

  Important: This structure extends `esp_tls_last_error` error structure and is backward compatible with it (so might be down-casted and treated as `esp_tls_last_error` error, but recommended to update applications if used this way previously)

  Use this structure directly checking error_type first and then appropriate error code depending on the source of the error:

  | error_type | related member variables | note | | MQTT_ERROR_TYPE_TCP_TRANSPORT | esp_tls_last_esp_err, esp_tls_stack_err, esp_tls_cert_verify_flags, sock_errno | Error reported from tcp_transport/esp-tls | | MQTT_ERROR_TYPE_CONNECTION_REFUSED | connect_return_code | Internal error reported from MQTT broker on connection |

typedef struct esp_mqtt_event_t esp_mqtt_event_t

  - Default values can be set via menuconfig

  - All certificates and key data could be passed in PEM or DER format. PEM format must have a terminating NULL character and the related len field set to 0. DER format requires a related len field set to the correct length.

typedef struct topic_t esp_mqtt_topic_t

  Topic definition struct
