MQTT Essentials - A Lightweight IoT Protocol

Working with exactly once delivery

First, we will use wildcards to subscribe to a topic filter with QoS level 2 and then we will publish one messages to a topic that will match the topic filter with QoS level 2. This way, we will analyze how both publishing and subscription work with QoS level 2.

We will use the mosquitto_sub command-line utility included in Mosquitto to generate a simple MQTT client that subscribes to a topic filter with QoS level 1 and prints all the messages it receives.

The previous command will create an MQTT client that ...
