I’m having all sorts of fun making some weather station and environmental sensors with assorted Pi and ESP8266 boards and I need a nice way to make the sensor nodes report back to base. Since the ESP8266 modules don’t run squeak (shame!) I’m using Arduino-c++ (blech) on them, and since the weather sensor code already existed in python (double-blech) I’m using that on the weather-pi board. I’ve been recommended to look at MQTT as a way to bind them all together and from what little sense I can make of the assorted stuff that googling had lead me to (good grief, so much acronym laden gibberish) it looks like it might do the job.

Googling for a squeak mqtt package has revealed nothing thus far so I’m now appealing to the list for any news.
