Wrapepr around paho/mqtt_client to easier handle certifacte based authentication and connection to mqtt via a python queue. I use this wrapper in serveral internal projects to simplify the handling.
As I didn't found a light wight way to keep an overview of all topic published from various devices I wrote a small python UI.
If installed as package (see installation)
It gets installed as mqtt_tree.
Make sure you have a config in the current working directory.
2021=01-31 BREAKING Change: moved files to create a python package; Version 0.1.1 2019-03-11 config via config.py 2019-02-28 ssl client certificate support 2019-02-15 initial version
pip install git+https://github.com/poggenpower/mqtt_tree
copy config.py.example to config.py and change for your needs.
python mqtt_tree.py should do the job.
nothing fancy, just an overview.
It subscribes '#', means any topic and keep listening for changes and new topics, while in parallel feeding to received topics in the treeview of an very basic TKinter Application. It doesn't "forget" any Topics while running, which makes it useful to monitor, whats there only temporary.
Feedback, Issues, Suggestions, Improvements, Forks all welcome. Use the Issue tracker here to get in contact.
- allow ssl without client certificate
- grey out non retaining topics after a while.
Hidden Features ;-)
If the window is closed, it writes the actual tree content to stdout. Not sure if it is useful for someone.
