publish a message every 10 seconds mqtt

mqtt, python

Solution

You can sleep between calls:

import mosquitto
import time # import time module
mqttc=mosquitto.Mosquitto("ioana")
mqttc.connect("127.0.0.1",8000,60,True)
mqttc.subscribe("test/", 2)
while mqttc.loop() == 0:
    mqttc.publish("test","Hello")
    time.sleep(10)# sleep for 10 seconds before next call

Problem

I am new to mqtt and still discovering this interesting protocol. I want to create a client in python that publishes every 10 seconds a message. Until now I succeed to publish only one message and keep the client connected to the broker. How can I make the publishing part a loop ? Below is my client: ``` import mosquitto mqttc=mosquitto.Mosquitto("ioana") mqttc.connect("127.0.0.1",1884,60,True) mqttc.publish("test","Hello") mqttc.subscribe("test/", 2) while mqttc.loop() == 0: pass ``` Thanks.
