Introduction

MQTT is a network protocol that transports messages in between devices.

MQTT setup

1. Connect to the Treon Gateway by using SSH.

2. Add a configuration file (ending in .conf) to /opt/iotgw/conf.d

[CloudAdapter]
CloudType: azure_paho
CloudBackend: mqtt
MqttBaseUrl: <your MQTT broker url or ip address>
MqttPort: <mqtt port>
MqttUserName: <mqtt username>
MqttPassWord: <mqtt password>

3. Restart the iotgw application

systemctl restart iotgw

Notes on the configuration:

• The username and password fields are necessary only if they are required by the MQTT broker.
• The MQTT port default values are 8883 (secure) and 1883 (insecure).
• If the MQTT broker is not using TLS, an additional parameter is needed to allow insecure connection.

MqttAllowInsecure:yes
