A fully functional MQTT client library written in C for the ESP8266 microcontroller, ported from a Contiki MQTT client. It supports subscribing, publishing, authentication, will messages, keep-alive pings, all 3 QoS levels, multiple connections, and SSL.

Use cases

  • connect an ESP8266 to an MQTT broker
  • publish sensor data from ESP8266 over MQTT
  • subscribe to MQTT topics on ESP8266
  • add MQTT with SSL/TLS to ESP8266 firmware
  • implement last will and testament on ESP8266 devices

When to choose

  • you are building IoT firmware on ESP8266 using the Espressif NonOS SDK and need MQTT
  • you need a lightweight C MQTT client with QoS and SSL support on ESP8266

When to avoid

  • you are using ESP32 or newer ESP-IDF (use esp-mqtt instead)
  • you need a maintained library with active updates
  • you use Arduino framework rather than the NonOS SDK
