WiFi MQTT Subscribe

Receive messages from message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) broker

Since R2022b

• 

Libraries:
Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware / WiFi

Description

Add-On Required: This feature requires the Simulink Support Package for Arduino Hardware add-on.

Use the WiFi MQTT Subscribe block to receive messages from the message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) broker on the specified topic.

Note

The WiFi MQTT Subscribe block supports MQTT over TCP/IP sockets only.

Supported Arduino Boards

The WiFi MQTT Publish block supports these Arduino^® boards.

• Arduino MKR WiFi 1010

• Arduino MKR 1000

• Arduino Nano 33 IoT

• Arduino compatible ESP32 – WROOM board

• Arduino compatible ESP32 – WROVER board

• Arduino UNO R4 Wi-Fi^®

• Arduino compatible Raspberry Pi^® Pico W

Examples

Publish and Subscribe to Messages on ThingSpeak Using MQTT Blocks on Arduino

Use the WiFi MQTT Publish and WiFi MQTT Subscribe blocks from the Simulink® Support Package for Arduino® Hardware to publish to and receive messages from MQTT broker to Arduino board. In this example, ThingSpeak™ is the MQTT broker and Arduino board is the MQTT client.

Ports

Output

isNew — New message indicator

0 (default) | 1

The block outputs 1 if the client receives a new message since the last sample time. Otherwise, the block outputs 0.

Data Types: Boolean

message — Message received from MQTT broker

scalar

The block outputs the message received from the MQTT broker as an array of ASCII characters.

Data Types: uint8

topic — Topic of message

topic/level/#

The block outputs ASCII values corresponding to the topic name of the received message. For example, if the topic of the received message is model/data, the port outputs the topic as 109 111 100 101 108 47 100 97 116 97.

To convert the ASCII values into their alphanumeric equivalent, attach an ASCII to String block to the output of the topic port. A topic can have a maximum of 128 characters. For information on topics and their structure, see Topics in MQTT.

Dependencies

To enable this port, include a wildcard entry in the Topic parameter. For more information on wildcards in MQTT, see Wildcards in MQTT Topics.

Data Types: uint8

Parameters

Topic — Topic for subscription

channels/<channelID>/subscribe (default) | any valid topic name

Specify a topic to which the client subscribes. A topic can have a maximum of 128 characters. For information on topics and their structure, see Topics in MQTT.

Data length — Length of data read from the MQTT broker

10 (default) | positive integer

Specify the length of the data you want to receive at each sample time.

Print diagnostic messages — Print MQTT broker response on serial port

off (default) | on

Select this option to print the response from the MQTT broker on the Arduino serial port for each publish request.

Sample time — Frequency to check for messages from MQTT broker

1 (default) | -1 | any positive integer

Specify how often the client checks for a new message from the broker. When you specify the sample time as -1, the block inherits its sample time based on the context of the block within the model.
