Write code like this:
Publish
async with Client("test.mosquitto.org") as client:
await client.publish("temperature/outside", payload=28.4)
Subscribe
async with Client("test.mosquitto.org") as client:
await client.subscribe("temperature/#")
async for message in client.messages:
print(message.payload)
Key features
- No more callbacks! 👍
- No more return codes (welcome to the
MqttError) - Graceful disconnection (forget about
on_unsubscribe,on_disconnect, etc.) - Supports MQTT versions 5.0, 3.1.1 and 3.1
- Fully type-hinted
- Did we mention no more callbacks?
Installation
pip install aiomqtt
The only dependency is paho-mqtt.
If you can't wait for the latest version, install directly from GitHub with:
pip install git+https://github.com/empicano/aiomqtt
Note for Windows users
Since Python 3.8, the default asyncio event loop is the ProactorEventLoop. Said loop doesn't support the add_reader method that is required by aiomqtt. Please switch to an event loop that supports the add_reader method such as the built-in SelectorEventLoop:
# Change to the "Selector" event loop if platform is Windows
if sys.platform.lower() == "win32" or os.name.lower() == "nt":
from asyncio import set_event_loop_policy, WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy
set_event_loop_policy(WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy())
# Run your async application as usual
asyncio.run(main())
