MQTT Client / subscriber

[Senna]

Hello

I am a student and for my final project I use a LoPy.
Great controller, lots of support, I/O, possibilities...
But now I ran into a problem.
I want to create an application that needs to send MQTT messages but also has to receive them.
The first part, sending MQTT messages, is not a problem and is working as described in the examples but I can't figure out how I can receive them.

I hope one of the more advanced users can help me.
Thank you a lot

This is my code:

def t3_publication(topic, msg):
    print (topic, ':', msg)
    pycom.rgbled(0xff00)

client = MQTTClient("d:j0y4ca:TestDevice:T04", "j0y4ca.messaging.internetofthings.ibmcloud.com", port=0,  user="use-token-auth", password="mytoken")

client.settimeout = timeout
client.connect()

client.set_callback(t3_publication)
client.subscribe("iot-2/evt/status")
time.sleep(1)
client.check_msg()

Was this issue resolved? Having same issue, same code!

Hi @Senna,

I'm waiting for the docs updates to be pushed live but you'll see an update made to the docs.pycom.io page for MQTT that matches my Alex's Corner video explaining how it all works!

Might be useful to you!

@Senna
Your firmware is outdated, please update to the latest v1.6.13.b1.

Don't use simple.py anymore, it is also outdated.
Instead go to mqtt and download the new library file there.

Also check out week 4 of Alex's corner where he explains how to use it.

What is your full code (excluding sensitive details)?

Also can you post the result of?
