| 11 to embedded devices. This module provides a way for MQTT clients to | |
| 12 connect to Prosody and publish or subscribe to local pubsub nodes. | |

| 19 MQTT has the concept of 'topics' (similar to XMPP's pubsub 'nodes'). | |
| 20 mod\_pubsub\_mqtt maps pubsub nodes to MQTT topics of the form | |

| 27 ### Limitations | |
| 28 | |
| 29 The current implementation is quite basic, and in particular: | |
| 30 | |
| 31 - Authentication is not supported | |
| 32 - Only QoS level 0 is supported | |
| 33 | |
| 34 ### Payloads | |
| 35 | |
| 36 XMPP payloads are always XML, but MQTT does not define a payload format. | |
