MQTT (SMS to MQTT / MQTT to SMS)

MQTT is a messaging protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). It is designed as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport that is ideal for connecting remote devices with a minimal network bandwidth. MQTT today is used in a wide variety of industries, such as automotive, manufacturing, telecommunications, oil and gas, etc.

The MQTT feature on SMSEagle lets you convert MQTT to SMS & SMS to MQTT. You can create multiple conversion rules:

•  when an SMS text arrives at the SMSEagle gateway with a predefined content, it is forwarded to MQTT
• when a message with a defined content arrives via MQTT, the SMSEagle gateway can send it as an SMS to single or multiple recipients

Feature configuration

The “MQTT” feature allows you to define several processing rules for both Subscribe and Publish scenario.

Subscribe rules

For each processing rule user can define:

1. if forwarding should always be sent or only form specified topic/when MQTT message contains
2. the text of the outgoing SMS message
3. message recipient (single or group)
4. for multi-modem devices users can also define from which modem the SMS is sent

Publish rules

For each processing rule user can define:

1. if forwarding SMS should always be sent or only for specified sender/message text
2. host, port and topic of MQTT subscriber
3. for multi-modem devices users can also define from which modem the SMS is received
