Configuration¶
The following configuration keys exist for Flask-MQTT. Flask-MQTT loads these values from your main Flask config.
Configuration Keys¶
MQTT_CLIENT_ID |
the unique client id string used when connecting to the broker. If client_id is zero length or None, then one will be randomly generated. |
MQTT_BROKER_URL |
The broker URL that should be used for the
connection. Defaults to
|
MQTT_BROKER_PORT |
The broker port that should be used for the connection. Defaults to 1883.
|
MQTT_USERNAME |
The username used for authentication. If none is
provided authentication is disabled. Defaults to
None . |
MQTT_PASSWORD |
The password used for authentication. Defaults
to None . Only needed if a username is
provided. |
MQTT_KEEPALIVE |
Maximum period in seconds between communications with the broker. If no other messages are being exchanged, this controls the rate at which the client will send ping messages to the broker. Defaults to 60 seconds. |
MQTT_TLS_ENABLED |
Enable TLS for the connection to the MQTT broker. Use the following config keys to configure TLS. |
MQTT_TLS_CA_CERTS |
A string path to the Certificate Authority certificate files that are to be treated as trusted by this client. Required. |
MQTT_TLS_CERTFILE |
String pointing to the PEM encoded client certificate. Defaults to None. |
MQTT_TLS_KEYFILE |
String pointing to the PEM encoded client private key. Defaults to None. |
MQTT_TLS_CERT_REQS |
Defines the certificate requirements that the client imposes on the broker. By default this is ssl.CERT_REQUIRED, which means that the broker must provide a certificate. See the ssl pydoc for more information on this parameter. Defaults to ssl.CERT_REQUIRED. |
MQTT_TLS_VERSION |
Specifies the version of the SSL/TLS protocol to be used. By default TLS v1 is used. Previous versions (all versions beginning with SSL) are possible but not recommended due to possible security problems. Defaults to ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1. |
MQTT_TLS_CIPHERS |
A string specifying which encryption ciphers are allowable for this connection, or None to use the defaults. See the ssl pydoc for more information. Defaults to None. |
MQTT_TLS_INSECURE |
Configure verification of the server hostname in the server certificate. Defaults to False. Do not use this function in a real system. Setting value to True means there is no point using encryption. |
MQTT_LAST_WILL_TOPIC |
The topic that the will message should be published on. If not set no will message will be sent on disconnecting the client. |
MQTT_LAST_WILL_MESSAGE |
The message to send as a will. If not given, or set to None a zero length message will be used as the will. Passing an int or float will result in the payload being converted to a string representing that number. If you wish to send a true int/float, use struct.pack() to create the payload you require. |
MQTT_LAST_WILL_QOS |
The quality of service level to use for the will. Defaults to 0. |
MQTT_LAST_WILL_RETAIN |
If set to true, the will message will be set as the “last known good”/retained message for the topic. Defaults to False. |
MQTT_TRANSPORT |
set to “websockets” to send MQTT over WebSockets. Leave at the default of “tcp” to use raw TCP. |
MQTT_PROTOCOL_VERSION |
The version of the MQTT protocol to use. Can be
either MQTTv31 or MQTTv311 (default). |
