Protocole MQTT pour l’intégration d’agents

MQTT et agents IdO

Installer paho-mqtt

# pip install paho-mqtt

import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt

# Create a client instance
client = mqtt.Client(client_id='agent_001', protocol=mqtt.MQTTv311)

# Optional: set credentials if broker requires authentication
client.username_pw_set(username='agent_user', password='YOUR_PASSWORD')

# Optional: enable TLS for secure connections
# client.tls_set('/path/to/ca.crt')

print('MQTT client created:', client._client_id)

Explication des niveaux de QoS

# QoS level guidelines for IoT agents:

# QoS 0 — temperature readings updated every second
# (loss of one reading is acceptable)
client.subscribe('sensors/temperature', qos=0)

# QoS 1 — alert notifications (must arrive, duplicates are OK)
client.subscribe('sensors/alerts', qos=1)

# QoS 2 — billing/counting events (each event must be processed exactly once)
client.subscribe('meters/energy_consumed', qos=2)

# When publishing, specify QoS:
client.publish(
    topic='agents/response',
    payload='{"action": "turn_on_cooling"}',
    qos=1,
    retain=False
)
print('Published command with QoS 1')

Messages conservés

# Publishing with retain=True persists the last value on the broker
client.publish(
    topic='sensors/thermostat/current_temp',
    payload='{"value": 22.5, "unit": "celsius"}',
    qos=1,
    retain=True  # broker stores this message
)

# Any new subscriber will receive this immediately on subscribe,
# even if it was published hours ago.

# To clear a retained message, publish empty payload:
client.publish(
    topic='sensors/thermostat/current_temp',
    payload='',  # empty payload clears retention
    retain=True
)
print('Retained message cleared')

MQTT sur WebSocket

import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt

# MQTT over WebSocket configuration
ws_client = mqtt.Client(
    client_id='dashboard_agent',
    transport='websockets',  # use WS instead of TCP
    protocol=mqtt.MQTTv311
)

# WebSocket path (broker-specific)
ws_client.ws_set_options(path='/mqtt', headers=None)

# TLS over WebSocket (WSS, port 8084)
# ws_client.tls_set()  # uses system CA store

ws_client.connect(
    host='broker.hivemq.com',
    port=8884,  # WSS port
    keepalive=60
)
ws_client.loop_start()
print('Connected via WebSocket')

Testament de dernière volonté

import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt

# Set LWT before connecting
client.will_set(
    topic='agents/status/agent_001',
    payload='{"status": "offline", "reason": "unexpected_disconnect"}',
    qos=1,
    retain=True  # retain so new subscribers see the last known status
)

def on_connect(client, userdata, flags, rc):
    if rc == 0:
        # Publish 'online' status on connect (overrides LWT retain)
        client.publish(

Bonnes pratiques de conception des rubriques

# Good topic hierarchy examples:
# factory/line1/sensor_042/temperature
# home/living_room/thermostat_01/setpoint
# agents/agent_001/commands/turn_on
# agents/agent_001/status

def build_topic(schema_key: str, **kwargs) -> str:
    template = TOPIC_SCHEMA[schema_key]
    return template.format(**kwargs)

# Usage:
topic = build_topic('sensor_data',
