Hello,
I am trying to understand how to create a Python client that is resilient
to connection/connectivity problems.
I'm using the latest Paho MQTT client on Win8 and Python 2.7.4. This is
just my development platform, my plan is to deploy the code on RaspberryPi
with a WiFi adapter.
When I try this simple publish code:
mqttclient.connect(HOST, PORT, 60)
while True:
payload = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
print('About to publish: {P}'.format(P=payload))
mqttclient.publish("Jon", payload, 1, retain=False)
# wait for 10 seconds
time.sleep(10)
it publishes to my Mosquitto broker every 10 seconds, and I'm able to
subscribe to these messages by topic.
If I break the connection, however, or stop the broker service - it crashes
the client on the next attempt to publish. (this happens using all 3 QOS
options)
Is there anything in the Paho MQTT client that can help me queue these
published messages until the broker becomes available again? Any example
code available that would show me how to gracefully handle these connection
errors?
Thanks in advance.
Jon
