6 [http://mqtt.org/ MQTT] is a lightweight binary pubsub protocol suited to embedded devices. This module provides a way for MQTT clients to connect to Prosody and publish or subscribe to local pubsub nodes.

10 MQTT has the concept of 'topics' (similar to XMPP's pubsub 'nodes'). mod_pubsub_mqtt maps pubsub nodes to MQTT topics of the form `HOST/NODE', e.g. `pubsub.example.org/mynode`.

20 XMPP payloads are always XML, but MQTT does not define a payload format. Therefore mod_pubsub_mqtt will attempt to convert data of certain recognised payload types. Currently supported:

25 All other XMPP payload types are sent to the client directly as XML. Data published by MQTT clients is currently never translated, and always treated as UTF-8 text.

36 You may also configure which port(s) mod_pubsub_mqtt listens on using Prosody's standard config directives, such as `mqtt_ports`. Network settings *must* be specified in the global section of the config file, not under any particular pubsub component. The default port is 1883 (MQTT's standard port number).
