What is MQTT # MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight, publish-subscribe messaging protocol designed for low-bandwidth, high-latency, or unreliable networks. It is particularly well-suited for IoT (Internet of Things) devices and applications that require the transmission of small amounts of data over long periods of time.
I always see MQTT as a sibling of AMQP. They are both messaging protocol. We’ll do a comparision later in the post.
Introduction # At the time I’m writing this post, the Internet of Things is not a new thing. If you own a vehicle, and it connects to the internet in some manner, your vehicle manufacturer is already gathering so much data with planted sensors in the vehicle.
It’s not only about your vehicle or your phone. IoT is used in tracking the orders you have booked at your favorite e-commerce site. You as an enthusiast can also automate certain aspects of your house.
Introduction # I have always been conscious about privacy and it was the sole reason I wasn’t early adapter of smart home devices. This changed when I bought Raspberry Pi. I learned that I can make my Pi hub to all the smart devices at my home.
And this is how I bought 9W Philips Wiz light; the cheapest one I could get in the Indian market.
Introduction # It’s no longer than a month since I bought a Raspberry Pi. Pi 4B to be precise. In this post, I’m going to log how I spent my 1st month with it.
Setup the Pi # When I decided to buy Raspi, I decided not to go with the kit. The reason was the model I was looking for, which is 8GB Model B wasn’t available in India. And finding a kit for it would have been more challenging.
