+#summary MQTT interface to Prosody's pubsub
+#labels Stage-Beta
+
+= Introduction =
+
+[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.
+
+= Details =
+
+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`.
+
+== Limitations ==
+The current implementation is quite basic, and in particular:
+
+  * Authentication is not supported
+  * SSL/TLS is not supported
+  * Only QoS level 0 is supported
+
+== Payloads ==
+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:
+
+  * JSON (see [http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0335.html XEP-0335] for the format)
+  * Plain UTF-8 text (wrapped inside `<data xmlns="https://prosody.im/protocol/mqtt"/>`)
+
+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.
+
+= Configuration =
+
+There is no special configuration for this module. Simply load it on your pubsub host like so:
+
+{{{
+Component "pubsub.example.org" "pubsub"
+    modules_enabled = { "pubsub_mqtt" }
+}}}
+
+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).
