Raspberry Pi and MQTT Essentials: A complete guide to helping you build innovative full-scale prototype projects using Raspberry Pi and MQTT protocol (Paperback)

Get familiar with all the concepts related to Raspberry Pi and MQTT, build innovative IoT projects, and discover how to scale these projects to the next level

Key Features:

• Learn some of the most popular tools used in IoT - Raspberry Pi, MQTT, ESP8266 and more
• Build exciting projects such as an IoT weather station and a smart switch board
• Discover the advantages of taking your MQTT broker global

Book Description:

The future of IoT has the potential to be limitless. Wouldn't it be great if you could add it to your own technological stacks? But where to start? With the basics, of course.

In this book, you will start by learning about the most popular hardware and communication protocol, Raspberry Pi and MQTT. You will see how to use them together by setting up your own MQTT server on Raspberry Pi and understand how it works.

This book explores MQTT in detail, including the clients and devices that you can connect to your server. You will discover two very popular IoT development boards among project developers: the ESP8266 and ESP32 development boards. Then, you will learn how to build interactive dashboards on your Pi and monitor your client devices. The book also shows you how to build a dashboard using another popular software - Node-RED. You will be able to put your skills to the test by creating two full-scale projects. That's not all: you will also learn how to host your own MQTT server on a virtual cloud service. Finally, you will be guided on how to move forward from here, what technologies to learn, and some project recommendations to polish or test your knowledge.

By the end of this book, you will be able to build meaningful projects using Raspberry Pi and MQTT and create dashboards for your projects on Node-RED.

What You Will Learn:

• Configure and use a Raspberry Pi for IoT projects
• Implement the MQTT communication protocol for projects
• Understand how to set up the NodeMCU and ESP32 boards as MQTT clients
• Control a NodeMCU board through a Node-RED dashboard hosted on Raspberry Pi
• Get LAMP server, Home Assistant, and MariaDB on the Raspberry Pi
• Set up an online MQTT broker on a cloud service or enterprise service provider platform
• Build full-scale, end-to-end prototype projects

Who this book is for:

This book is for students who are interested in IoT and want to build projects using the available developer hardware. Educators who want to introduce a course on IoT into their curriculum, technology enthusiasts, and IoT developers who are just getting started will also benefit from this book. No prior knowledge about the two main topics that the book covers is required - Raspberry Pi and MQTT. A basic understanding of what IoT is will also be useful but not mandatory.

熟悉Raspberry Pi和MQTT相關概念，建立創新的物聯網專案，並了解如何將這些專案擴展到更高的層次。

主要特點：
- 學習物聯網中最受歡迎的工具，如Raspberry Pi、MQTT、ESP8266等
- 建立令人興奮的專案，如物聯網氣象站和智能開關板
- 發現將MQTT代理伺服器擴展到全球的優勢

書籍描述：
物聯網的未來潛力無限。如果您能將其添加到自己的技術堆疊中，那不是很棒嗎？但從何處開始呢？當然是從基礎知識開始。

在本書中，您將首先學習最受歡迎的硬體和通訊協議，即Raspberry Pi和MQTT。您將通過在Raspberry Pi上設置自己的MQTT伺服器並了解其工作原理，看到如何將它們一起使用。

本書詳細介紹了MQTT，包括您可以連接到伺服器的客戶端和設備。您將了解兩個在專案開發者中非常受歡迎的物聯網開發板：ESP8266和ESP32開發板。然後，您將學習如何在Pi上建立交互式儀表板並監控客戶端設備。本書還展示了如何使用另一個流行軟體-Node-RED來建立儀表板。您將能夠通過創建兩個全面專案來測試自己的技能。這還不是全部：您還將學習如何在虛擬雲服務上託管自己的MQTT伺服器。最後，您將獲得如何從這裡繼續前進的指導，要學習哪些技術以及一些建議來完善或測試您的知識。

通過閱讀本書，您將能夠使用Raspberry Pi和MQTT建立有意義的專案，並在Node-RED上為專案建立儀表板。

學到的內容：
- 配置和使用Raspberry Pi進行物聯網專案
- 實現MQTT通訊協議的專案
- 了解如何將NodeMCU和ESP32開發板設置為MQTT客戶端
- 通過在Raspberry Pi上託管的Node-RED儀表板控制NodeMCU開發板
- 在Raspberry Pi上獲取LAMP伺服器、Home Assistant和MariaDB
- 在雲服務或企業服務提供商平台上設置線上MQTT代理伺服器
- 建立全面的端對端原型專案

本書適合對物聯網感興趣並希望使用可用的開發者硬體建立專案的學生。教育工作者希望將物聯網課程引入課程中，技術愛好者以及剛開始進入物聯網開發的人也會從本書中受益。不需要對本書涵蓋的兩個主要主題-Raspberry Pi和MQTT有先備知識，對物聯網的基本理解也會有所幫助，但不是必需的。
