Explore the features included in the latest versions of MQTT for IoT and M2M communications and use them with modern Python 3.About This BookMake your connected devices less prone to attackers by understanding security mechanismsTake advantage of MQTT features for IoT and Machine-to-Machine communicationsThe only book that covers MQTT with a single language, PythonWho This Book Is ForThis book is for developers who want to learn about the MQTT protocol for their IoT projects. Prior knowledge of working with IoT and Python will be helpful.What You Will LearnLearn how MQTT and its lightweight messaging system workUnderstand the MQTT puzzle: clients, servers (formerly known as brokers), and connectionsExplore the features included in the latest versions of MQTT for IoT and M2M communicationsPublish and receive MQTT messages with PythonLearn the difference between blocking and threaded network loopsTake advantage of the last will and testament featureWork with cloud-based MQTT interfaces in PythonIn DetailMQTT is a lightweight messaging protocol for small sensors and mobile devices. This book explores the features of the latest versions of MQTT for IoT and M2M communications, how to use them with Python 3, and allow you to interact with sensors and actuators using Python.The book begins with the specific vocabulary of MQTT and its working modes, followed by installing a Mosquitto MQTT broker. You will use different utilities and diagrams to understand the most important concepts related to MQTT. You will learn to make all the necessary configuration to work with digital certificates for encrypting all data sent between the MQTT clients and the server. You will also work with the different Quality of Service levels and later analyze and compare their overheads.You will write Python 3.x code to control a vehicle with MQTT messages delivered through encrypted connections (TLS 1.2), and learn how leverage your knowledge of the MQTT protocol to build a solution based on requ
