Use PHP and MQTT to achieve remote device operation and control
Introduction:
MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight, open publish/subscribe message transmission protocol that can Communication and data transfer between devices. PHP is a popular server-side scripting language that can be integrated with the MQTT protocol to facilitate remote operation and control of devices in web applications.
This article will introduce how to use PHP and MQTT protocols, and demonstrate the process of remote device operation and control through sample code.
Step 1: Install the MQTT PHP extension
First, you need to install the MQTT PHP extension to be able to use the MQTT protocol in PHP. There are two commonly used MQTT PHP extensions, Mosquitto and phpMQTT. This article will introduce phpMQTT as an example.
Execute the following command in the terminal to install the phpMQTT extension:
composer require bluerhinos/phpmqtt
Step 2: Connect to the MQTT server
Use the phpMQTT extension to connect to the MQTT server. You need to specify the host name and port number of the server. and client ID. The sample code is as follows:
<?php require("phpMQTT.php"); $mqtt = new phpMQTT("mqtt.example.com", 1883, "ClientID"); // 服务器地址、端口号和客户端ID if ($mqtt->connect()) { // 连接成功 // ... } else { // 连接失败 // ... }
Step 3: Subscribe to the topic
In the MQTT protocol, the topic (Topic) is used to identify the content of the message. To receive messages sent by a device, you need to subscribe to one or more topics. The sample code is as follows:
<?php require("phpMQTT.php"); $mqtt = new phpMQTT("mqtt.example.com", 1883, "ClientID"); // 服务器地址、端口号和客户端ID if ($mqtt->connect()) { $topics = array("topic1", "topic2"); // 订阅的主题列表 $mqtt->subscribe($topics, 0); // 订阅主题 while ($mqtt->proc()) { // 处理接收到的消息 // ... } $mqtt->close(); // 关闭连接 } else { // 连接失败 // ... }
Step 4: Publish message
To send instructions to the device, you need to publish a message to the specified topic. The sample code is as follows:
<?php require("phpMQTT.php"); $mqtt = new phpMQTT("mqtt.example.com", 1883, "ClientID"); // 服务器地址、端口号和客户端ID if ($mqtt->connect()) { $topic = "topic"; // 发布的主题 $message = "Hello, device!"; // 发布的消息 $mqtt->publish($topic, $message, 0); // 发布消息 $mqtt->close(); // 关闭连接 } else { // 连接失败 // ... }
Step 5: Parse the received message
In the above example, we need to process the received message after receiving the message. The content of the message can be parsed according to the needs of the device, and corresponding operations can be performed according to the needs. The sample code is as follows:
<?php require("phpMQTT.php"); $mqtt = new phpMQTT("mqtt.example.com", 1883, "ClientID"); // 服务器地址、端口号和客户端ID if ($mqtt->connect()) { $topics = array("topic1", "topic2"); // 订阅的主题列表 $mqtt->subscribe($topics, 0); // 订阅主题 while ($mqtt->proc()) { $message = $mqtt->message; // 解析接收到的消息 // ... // 根据解析的结果进行操作 // ... } $mqtt->close(); // 关闭连接 } else { // 连接失败 // ... }
Summary:
By using PHP and MQTT protocols, we can easily implement remote device operation and control. This article introduces the basic steps of using the phpMQTT extension to connect to an MQTT server, subscribe to topics, publish messages, and parse received messages, and provides corresponding sample code. Readers can customize and expand it according to their own needs and in conjunction with specific projects to achieve more flexible and powerful remote device operation and control functions.
