<li>supports MQTT 3.1.1 only.</li>
<li>does not maintain session state for clients and thus always sets the <em>session present</em> flag in its CONNACK packet to <code>0</code>, regardless of the value of the <em>clean session</em> flag provided in a client&rsquo;s CONNECT packet.</li>
<li>ignores any <em>Will</em> included in a client&rsquo;s CONNECT packet.</li>
<li>only supports topic names/filters for devices to publish and subscribe to that are specific to Hono&rsquo;s functionality as described in the following sections.</li>
<li>does not support <em>retaining</em> messages. However, if an event or telemetry message&rsquo;s <em>retain</em> flag is set to <code>1</code> then the corresponding AMQP 1.0 message being sent downstream by the adapter will contain an <em>x-opt-retain</em> message annotation containing the boolean value <code>true</code>. A downstream consumer may then react according to the presence of this annotation.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="authentication">Authentication</h2>
<p>The MQTT adapter by default requires clients (devices or gateway components) to authenticate during connection establishment. The adapter supports both the authentication based on the username/password provided in an MQTT CONNECT packet as well as client certificate based authentication as part of a TLS handshake for that purpose.</p>
<p>The adapter tries to authenticate the device using these mechanisms in the following order</p>
<h3 id="client-certificate">Client Certificate</h3>
<p>When a device uses a client certificate for authentication during the TLS handshake, the adapter tries to determine the tenant that the device belongs to based on the <em>issuer DN</em> contained in the certificate.
In order for the lookup to succeed, the tenant&rsquo;s trust anchor needs to be configured by means of registering the <a href="/hono/docs/1.1/api/tenant/#tenant-information-format">trusted certificate authority</a>.
The device&rsquo;s client certificate will then be validated using the registered trust anchor, thus implicitly establishing the tenant that the device belongs to.
In a second step, the adapter uses the Credentials API&rsquo;s <em>get</em> operation to retrieve the credentials on record, including the client certificate&rsquo;s <em>subject DN</em> as the <em>auth-id</em>, <code>x509-cert</code> as the <em>type</em> of secret and the MQTT client identifier as <em>client-id</em> in the request payload.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> The adapter needs to be <a href="/hono/docs/1.1/admin-guide/secure_communication/">configured for TLS</a> in order to support this mechanism.</p>
<h3 id="usernamepassword">Username/Password</h3>
<p>When a device wants to authenticate using this mechanism, it needs to provide a <em>username</em> and a <em>password</em> in the MQTT <em>CONNECT</em> packet it sends in order to initiate the connection. The <em>username</em> must have the form <em>auth-id@tenant</em>, e.g. <code>sensor1@DEFAULT_TENANT</code>.
The adapter verifies the credentials provided by the client against the credentials that the <a href="/hono/docs/1.1/admin-guide/mqtt-adapter-config/">configured Credentials service</a> has on record for the client.
The adapter uses the Credentials API&rsquo;s <em>get</em> operation to retrieve the credentials on record, including the <em>tenant</em> and <em>auth-id</em> provided by the client in the <em>username</em>, <code>hashed-password</code> as the <em>type</em> of secret and the MQTT client identifier as <em>client-id</em> in the request payload.</p>
<p>The examples below refer to devices <code>4711</code> and <code>gw-1</code> of tenant <code>DEFAULT_TENANT</code> using <em>auth-ids</em> <code>sensor1</code> and <code>gw1</code> and corresponding passwords. The example deployment as described in the <a href="/hono/docs/1.1/deployment/">Deployment Guides</a> comes pre-configured with the corresponding entities in its device registry component.</p>
<p><strong>NB</strong> There is a subtle difference between the <em>device identifier</em> (<em>device-id</em>) and the <em>auth-id</em> a device uses for authentication. See <a href="/hono/docs/1.1/concepts/device-identity/">Device Identity</a> for a discussion of the concepts.</p>
<h2 id="connection-limits">Connection Limits</h2>
<p>After verifying the credentials, the number of existing connections is checked against the configured [resource-limits] (/hono/docs/1.1/concepts/resource-limits/) by the MQTT adapter. If the limit is exceeded then a return code <code>0x05</code> indicating <code>Connection Refused: not authorised</code> is sent back.</p>
<h2 id="connection-duration-limits">Connection Duration Limits</h2>
<p>Before accepting any connection requests from the devices, the MQTT adapter verifies that the configured [connection duration limit] (/hono/docs/1.1/concepts/resource-limits/) is not exceeded. If the limit has been already reached, then a return code <code>0x05</code> indicating <code>Connection Refused: not authorised</code> is sent back.</p>
<h2 id="message-limits">Message Limits</h2>
<p>Before accepting any telemetry or event or command messages, the MQTT adapter verifies that the configured [message limit] (/hono/docs/1.1/concepts/resource-limits/) is not exceeded. The incoming message is discarded if the limit is exceeded.</p>
<h2 id="connection-event">Connection Event</h2>
<p>The MQTT Adapter can send a <a href="/hono/docs/1.1/api/event/#connection-event">Connection Event</a> once the connection with a device has been successfully established or ended. Note that this requires the <a href="/hono/docs/1.1/admin-guide/mqtt-adapter-config/#service-configuration"><code>HONO_CONNECTION_EVENTS_PRODUCER</code></a> configuration property to be explicitly set to <code>events</code>.</p>
<h2 id="publishing-telemetry-data">Publishing Telemetry Data</h2>
<p>The MQTT adapter supports the publishing of telemetry data by means of MQTT <em>PUBLISH</em> packets using either QoS 0 or QoS 1.
Using QoS 1 will result in the adapter sending an MQTT <em>PUBACK</em> packet to the client once the message has been settled with the <em>accepted</em> outcome by the AMQP 1.0 Messaging Network.</p>
<p>This requires that</p>
<ul>
<li>the AMQP 1.0 Messaging Network has capacity to process telemetry messages for the client&rsquo;s tenant and</li>
<li>the messages published by the client comply with the format defined by the Telemetry API.</li>
</ul>
<p>The protocol adapter checks the configured [message limit] (/hono/docs/1.1/concepts/resource-limits/) before accepting any telemetry messages. If the message limit is exceeded or the incoming telemetry message cannot be processed, the connection to the client is closed.</p>
<h2 id="publish-telemetry-data-authenticated-device">Publish Telemetry Data (authenticated Device)</h2>

<p>This is the preferred way for devices to publish telemetry data. It is available only if the protocol adapter is configured to require devices to authenticate (which is the default).

<h2 id="publishing-events">Publishing Events</h2>
<p>The MQTT adapter supports the publishing of events by means of MQTT <em>PUBLISH</em> packets using QoS 1 only.
The adapter will send an MQTT <em>PUBACK</em> packet to the client once the event has been settled with the <em>accepted</em> outcome by the AMQP 1.0 Messaging Network.</p>
<p>This requires that</p>
<ul>
<li>the AMQP 1.0 Messaging Network has capacity to process events for the client&rsquo;s tenant and</li>
<li>the events published by the client comply with the format defined by the Event API.</li>
</ul>
<p>The protocol adapter checks the configured [message limit] (/hono/docs/1.1/concepts/resource-limits/) before accepting any event messages. If the message limit is exceeded or the incoming event message cannot be processed, the connection to the client is closed.</p>
<p>The devices can optionally indicate a <em>time-to-live</em> duration for event messages by setting the <em>hono-ttl</em> property explicitly in the <code>property-bag</code>. The <code>property-bag</code> is an optional collection of properties intended for the receiver of the message. A property bag is only allowed at the very end of a topic. It always starts with a <code>/?</code> character, followed by pairs of URL encoded property names and values that are separated by <code>&amp;</code>. For example, a property bag containing two properties <em>seqNo</em> and <em>importance</em> looks like this: <code>/topic/name/?seqNo=10034&amp;importance=high</code>.</p>
<p>The MQTT adapter currently does not use any properties except <em>hono-ttl</em>.</p>

<h2 id="command--control">Command &amp; Control</h2>
<p>The MQTT adapter supports devices to receive commands that have been sent by business applications by means of sending an MQTT <em>SUBSCRIBE</em> packet containing a device specific <em>topic filter</em> as described below. Devices can subscribe with QoS 1 or QoS 0. The adapter indicates the outcome of the subscription request by sending back a corresponding <em>SUBACK</em> packet. The SUBACK packet will contain <em>Success - QoS 0</em> (<code>0x00</code>) or <em>Success - QoS 1</em> (<code>0x01</code>) for a command topic filter indicating QoS 0 or 1 and will contain the <em>Failure</em> (<code>0x80</code>) value for all other filters. When a device no longer wants to receive commands anymore, it can send an MQTT <em>UNSUBSCRIBE</em> packet to the adapter, including the same topic filter that has been used to subscribe.</p>
<p>When a device has successfully subscribed, the adapter sends an <a href="/hono/docs/1.1/api/event/#empty-notification">empty notification</a> on behalf of the device to the downstream AMQP 1.0 Messaging Network with the <em>ttd</em> header set to <code>-1</code>, indicating that the device will be ready to receive commands until further notice. Analogously, the adapter sends an empty notification with the <em>ttd</em> header set to <code>0</code> when a device unsubscribes from commands.</p>
<p>Commands can be sent following a <em>request/response</em> pattern or being <em>one-way</em>.</p>
<p>For <em>Request/Response</em> commands, devices send their responses to commands by means of sending an MQTT <em>PUBLISH</em> message to a topic that is specific to the command that has been executed. The MQTT adapter accepts responses being published using either QoS 0 or QoS 1.</p>
<p>The MQTT adapter checks the configured [message limit] (/hono/docs/1.1/concepts/resource-limits/) before accepting any command requests and responses. In case of incoming command requests from business applications, if the message limit is exceeded, the Adapter rejects the message with the reason <code>amqp:resource-limit-exceeded</code>. And for the incoming command responses from devices, the Adapter rejects the message and closes the connection to the client.</p>
<p>The following sections define the topic filters/names to use for subscribing to and responding to commands. The following <em>shorthand</em> versions of topic path segments are supported:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>c</code> instead of <code>command</code></li>
<li><code>q</code> instead of <code>req</code></li>
<li><code>s</code> instead of <code>res</code></li>
</ul>
<p>The following variables are used:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>${command}</code> : An arbitrary string that indicates the command to execute, e.g. <code>setBrightness</code>. The command is provided by the application that sends the command.</li>
<li><code>${req-id}</code> (only for <em>Request/Response</em> commands) : The unique identifier of the command execution request. The identifier is passed to the device as part of the name of the topic that the command is published to. The device needs to publish its response to the command to a topic which includes this identifier, thus allowing the adapter to correlate the response with the request.</li>
<li><code>${status}</code> : The HTTP status code indicating the outcome of executing the command. This status code is passed on to the application in the AMQP message&rsquo;s <em>status</em> application property.</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="receiving-commands-authenticated-gateway">Receiving Commands (authenticated Gateway)</h3>
<p><em>Gateway</em> components can receive commands for devices which do not connect to a protocol adapter directly but instead are connected to the gateway, e.g. using some low-bandwidth radio based technology like <a href="https://www.sigfox.com">SigFox</a> or <a href="https://lora-alliance.org/">LoRa</a>. Corresponding devices have to be configured so that they can be used with a gateway. See <a href="/hono/docs/1.1/admin-guide/device-registry-config/">Configuring Gateway Devices</a> for details.</p>
<p>If a device is configured in such a way that there can be <em>one</em> gateway, acting on behalf of the device, a command sent to this device will by default be directed to that gateway. However, if a device has last sent telemetry/event messages directly to the protocol adapter instead of via the gateway, this will cause commands to be directed to the device and not the gateway.</p>
<p>If a device is configured to be used with <em>multiple</em> gateways, the particular gateway that last acted on behalf of the device will be the target that commands for that device will be routed to. The mapping of device and gateway last used by the device is updated whenever a device sends a telemetry, event or command response message via the gateway. This means that for a device configured to be used via multiple gateways to receive commands, the device first has to send at least one telemetry or event message to establish which gateway to use for receiving commands for that device.</p>
<p>An authenticated gateway MUST use the topic filter <code>command//+/req/#</code> to subscribe to commands for all devices in whose behalf it acts.</p>
<p>To subscribe only to commands for a specific device, an authenticated gateway MUST use the topic filter <code>command//${device-id}/req/#</code>.</p>
<div class="alert alert-notice">
<h4 class="alert-heading"><i class="fas fa-info-circle"></i> Note</h4>
<div>An authenticated gateway opening multiple <code>command//${device-id}/req/#</code> subscriptions for different devices should do so using the same MQTT connection. Otherwise some commands might not get routed properly if multiple protocol adapter instances are involved.</div>

<p>A subscription to commands for all devices that a gateway acts on behalf of looks like this:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh">mosquitto_sub -v -u <span style="color:#e6db74">&#39;gw@DEFAULT_TENANT&#39;</span> -P gw-secret -t command//+/req/#
</code></pre></div><p>A subscription to commands for a specific device can be done like this:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh">mosquitto_sub -v -u <span style="color:#e6db74">&#39;gw@DEFAULT_TENANT&#39;</span> -P gw-secret -t command//4711/req/#
</code></pre></div><p>The adapter will then publish <em>Request/Response</em> commands for devices, that the gateway has acted on behalf of, to topic <code>command//${device-id}/req/${req-id}/${command}</code> and <em>one-way</em> commands to topic <code>command//${device-id}/req//${command}</code>.</p>
<p>For example, a request/response command for device <code>4711</code> with name <code>setBrightness</code> from an application might look like this:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-plaintext" data-lang="plaintext">command//4711/q/1010f8ab0b53-bd96-4d99-9d9c-56b868474a6a/setBrightness
{
&#34;brightness&#34;: 79
}
</code></pre></div><p>A corresponding <em>one-way</em> command might look like this:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-plaintext" data-lang="plaintext">command//4711/q//setBrightness
{
&#34;brightness&#34;: 79
}
</code></pre></div><p>Note that the topic in the latter case doesn&rsquo;t contain a request identifier.</p>
<h3 id="sending-a-response-to-a-command-authenticated-device">Sending a Response to a Command (authenticated Device)</h3>
<p>An authenticated device MUST send the response to a previously received command to the topic <code>command///res/${req-id}/${status}</code>.</p>
<p><strong>Example</strong></p>
<p>After a command has arrived as in the above example, you send a response using the arrived <code>${req-id}</code>:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh">mosquitto_pub -u <span style="color:#e6db74">&#39;sensor1@DEFAULT_TENANT&#39;</span> -P hono-secret -t command///res/1010f8ab0b53-bd96-4d99-9d9c-56b868474a6a/200 -m <span style="color:#e6db74">&#39;{&#34;lumen&#34;: 200}&#39;</span>
</code></pre></div><h3 id="sending-a-response-to-a-command-unauthenticated-device">Sending a Response to a Command (unauthenticated Device)</h3>
<p>An unauthenticated device MUST send the response to a previously received command to the topic <code>command/${tenant-id}/${device-id}/res/${req-id}/${status}</code>.</p>
<p><strong>Example</strong></p>
<p>After a command has arrived as in the above example, you send a response using the arrived <code>${req-id}</code>:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh">mosquitto_pub -t command/DEFAULT_TENANT/4711/res/1010f8ab0b53-bd96-4d99-9d9c-56b868474a6a/200 -m <span style="color:#e6db74">&#39;{&#34;lumen&#34;: 200}&#39;</span>
</code></pre></div><h3 id="sending-a-response-to-a-command-authenticated-gateway">Sending a Response to a Command (authenticated Gateway)</h3>
<p>An authenticated gateway MUST send a device&rsquo;s response to a command it has received on behalf of the device to the topic <code>command//${device-id}/res/${req-id}/${status}</code>.</p>
<p><strong>Example</strong></p>
<p>After a command has arrived as in the above example, the response is sent using the <code>${req-id}</code> from the topic that the command had been published to:</p>
<div class="highlight"><pre style="color:#f8f8f2;background-color:#272822;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4"><code class="language-sh" data-lang="sh">mosquitto_pub -u <span style="color:#e6db74">&#39;gw@DEFAULT_TENANT&#39;</span> -P gw-secret -t command//4711/res/1010f8ab0b53-bd96-4d99-9d9c-56b868474a6a/200 -m <span style="color:#e6db74">&#39;{&#34;lumen&#34;: 200}&#39;</span>
</code></pre></div><h2 id="downstream-meta-data">Downstream Meta Data</h2>
<p>The adapter includes the following meta data in messages being sent downstream:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th style="text-align:left">Name</th>
<th style="text-align:left">Location</th>
<th style="text-align:left">Type</th>
<th style="text-align:left">Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="text-align:left"><em>device_id</em></td>
<td style="text-align:left"><em>application</em></td>
<td style="text-align:left"><em>string</em></td>
<td style="text-align:left">The identifier of the device that the message originates from.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align:left"><em>orig_adapter</em></td>
<td style="text-align:left"><em>application</em></td>
<td style="text-align:left"><em>string</em></td>
<td style="text-align:left">Contains the adapter&rsquo;s <em>type name</em> which can be used by downstream consumers to determine the protocol adapter that the message has been received over. The MQTT adapter&rsquo;s type name is <code>hono-mqtt</code>.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align:left"><em>orig_address</em></td>
<td style="text-align:left"><em>application</em></td>
<td style="text-align:left"><em>string</em></td>
<td style="text-align:left">Contains the name of the MQTT topic that the device has originally published the data to.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="text-align:left"><em>x-opt-retain</em></td>
<td style="text-align:left">* <em>message-annotations</em></td>
<td style="text-align:left"><em>boolean</em></td>
<td style="text-align:left">Contains <code>true</code> if the device has published an event or telemetry message with its <em>retain</em> flag set to <code>1</code></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The adapter also considers <em>defaults</em> registered for the device at either the <a href="/hono/docs/1.1/api/tenant/#tenant-information-format">tenant</a> or the <a href="/hono/docs/1.1/api/device-registration/#assert-device-registration">device level</a>. The values of the default properties are determined as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li>If the message already contains a non-empty property of the same name, the value if unchanged.</li>
<li>Otherwise, if a default property of the same name is defined in the device&rsquo;s registration information, that value is used.</li>
<li>Otherwise, if a default property of the same name is defined for the tenant that the device belongs to, that value is used.</li>
</ol>
<p>Note that of the standard AMQP 1.0 message properties only the <em>content-type</em> and <em>ttl</em> can be set this way to a default value.</p>
<h3 id="event-message-time-to-live">Event Message Time-to-live</h3>
<p>Events published by devices will usually be persisted by the AMQP Messaging Network in order to support deferred delivery to downstream consumers.
In most cases the AMQP Messaging Network can be configured with a maximum <em>time-to-live</em> to apply to the events so that the events will be removed
from the persistent store if no consumer has attached to receive the event before the message expires.</p>
<p>In order to support environments where the AMQP Messaging Network cannot be configured accordingly, the MQTT protocol adapter supports setting a
downstream event message&rsquo;s <em>ttl</em> property based on the <em>hono-ttl</em> property set as <em>property-bag</em> at the end of the event topic.
Also the default <em>ttl</em> and <em>max-ttl</em> values can be configured for a tenant/device as described in the [Tenant API]
(/hono/docs/1.1/api/tenant/#resource-limits-configuration-format).</p>
<h2 id="tenant-specific-configuration">Tenant specific Configuration</h2>
<p>The adapter uses the <a href="/hono/docs/1.1/api/tenant/#get-tenant-information">Tenant API</a> to retrieve <em>tenant specific configuration</em> for adapter type <code>hono-mqtt</code>.
The following properties are (currently) supported:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th style="text-align:left">Name</th>
<th style="text-align:left">Type</th>
<th style="text-align:left">Default Value</th>
<th style="text-align:left">Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="text-align:left"><em>enabled</em></td>
<td style="text-align:left"><em>boolean</em></td>
<td style="text-align:left"><code>true</code></td>
<td style="text-align:left">If set to <code>false</code> the adapter will reject all data from devices belonging to the tenant.</td>
</tr>
