require "json" module Agents class MqttAgent < Agent gem_dependency_check { defined?(MQTT) } description <<~MD The MQTT Agent allows both publication and subscription to an MQTT topic. #{'## Include `mqtt` in your Gemfile to use this Agent!' if dependencies_missing?} MQTT is a generic transport protocol for machine to machine communication. You can do things like: * Publish to [RabbitMQ](http://www.rabbitmq.com/mqtt.html) * Run [OwnTracks, a location tracking tool](http://owntracks.org/) for iOS and Android * Subscribe to your home automation setup like [Ninjablocks](http://forums.ninjablocks.com/index.php?p=/discussion/661/today-i-learned-about-mqtt/p1) or [TheThingSystem](http://thethingsystem.com/dev/supported-things.html) Simply choose a topic (think email subject line) to publish/listen to, and configure your service. It's easy to setup your own [broker](http://jpmens.net/2013/09/01/installing-mosquitto-on-a-raspberry-pi/) or connect to a [cloud service](http://www.cloudmqtt.com) Hints: Many services run mqtts (mqtt over SSL) often with a custom certificate. You'll want to download their cert and install it locally, specifying the ```certificate_path``` configuration. Example configuration:
{
        'uri' => 'mqtts://user:pass@localhost:8883'
        'ssl' => :TLSv1,
        'ca_file' => './ca.pem',
        'cert_file' => './client.crt',
        'key_file' => './client.key',
        'topic' => 'huginn'
      }
      
Subscribe to CloCkWeRX's TheThingSystem instance (thethingsystem.com), where temperature and other events are being published.
{
        'uri' => 'mqtt://kcqlmkgx:sVNoccqwvXxE@m10.cloudmqtt.com:13858',
        'topic' => 'the_thing_system/demo'
      }
      
Subscribe to all topics

        'uri' => 'mqtt://kcqlmkgx:sVNoccqwvXxE@m10.cloudmqtt.com:13858',
        'topic' => '/#'
