opensts-py 0.1.0

This is a demo for accessing data using MQTT and OpenSTS services

OpenSTS Python

This Python package provides a simple MQTT client using the paho-mqtt library, with built-in support for subscribing to multiple topics and handling messages. The package supports configuration via environment variables for enhanced security.

Configuration

This package uses environment variables for credentials. You can configure these by creating a .env file in the project directory:

Environment variables

MQTT_BROKER=your_broker_address
MQTT_PORT=1883
MQTT_USERNAME=your_username
MQTT_SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key

Topics in MQTT

In OpenSTS, MQTT topics follow a specific format to allow for proper identification of devices and applications. This ensures that data published by a device under a particular application can be easily accessed by authorized users or services. The topic format looks like this applications/{Application ID}/devices/{Device ID} e.g applications/23/devices/12.
