# The idiomatic asyncio MQTT client 🙌

**Documentation:** [https://aiomqtt.bo3hm.com](https://aiomqtt.bo3hm.com)

---

Write code like this:

**Publish**

```python
async with Client("test.mosquitto.org") as client:
    await client.publish("temperature/outside", payload=28.4)
```

**Subscribe**

```python
async with Client("test.mosquitto.org") as client:
    await client.subscribe("temperature/#")
    async for message in client.messages:
        print(message.payload)
```

## Key features

- No more callbacks! 👍
- No more return codes (welcome to the `MqttError`)
- Graceful disconnection (forget about `on_unsubscribe`, `on_disconnect`, etc.)
- Supports MQTT versions 5.0, 3.1.1 and 3.1
- Fully type-hinted
- Did we mention no more callbacks?

## Installation

```
pip install aiomqtt
```

The only dependency is [paho-mqtt](https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.python).

If you can't wait for the latest version, install directly from GitHub with:

```
pip install git+https://github.com/empicano/aiomqtt
```

### Note for Windows users

Since Python 3.8, the default asyncio event loop is the `ProactorEventLoop`. Said loop [doesn't support the `add_reader` method](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-platforms.html#windows) that is required by aiomqtt. Please switch to an event loop that supports the `add_reader` method such as the built-in `SelectorEventLoop`:

```python
# Change to the "Selector" event loop if platform is Windows
if sys.platform.lower() == "win32" or os.name.lower() == "nt":
    from asyncio import set_event_loop_policy, WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy
    set_event_loop_policy(WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy())
# Run your async application as usual
asyncio.run(main())
```
