MQTT Publisher Plugin

Paul Robison

About this app

This is not a standalone application: it requires Tasker (or similar, compatible applications) to work.

This plugin can only send messages to a MQTT broker. It does not support WebSockets.

Supports TLS v1.2 - add the certificate to your device's credential storage.

Null payload messages are not yet supported.

Source is available on github.

Ratings and reviews

Worked great for a few hundred messages over a few hours...but then stops...Disabling battery optimisation for this app does appear to have made it start working again though! Understandable why no birth or LWT messages - since tasker actions are not really persistent. QOS is great addition though, this overall works very nicely to send battery information to my MQTT system

So, I was also having the issue where it would not trigger correctly outside of the test screen but found a work around! If I put the mqtt messages in their own tasks, then reference that task from others, it seems to work fine! Will update if I find out anything else.

Publisher worked fine for only first few minutes after creating the scene then stopped forever, until I had to open the settings again and cliked on the play button (triangle icon) at the bottom to restart. This is unacceptable for an automate app.
