How to control ESP8266 via mosquitto and python?

Question

Python

I am setting up a homemade Wi-Fi socket based on ESP8266 with tasmota firmware. I'm trying to make control through an external VDS server, the mosquitto mqtt broker has already been installed there.
So the question is: how to combine mosquitto with python so that you can turn on / off the outlet from the script? What library is needed and what should python send to the broker?

Answer 1

Any library for mqtt. Send a message to the desired topic, ESP, in turn, must be subscribed to this topic. Topics can be of a type esp<ID_устройства>/pin/8( in case there are several devices ), or you can simply example_topicsend messages like 0 or 1 there, on or off lines . You can, of course, at least encode json into a message, but the more difficult it is to parse it all on ESP. I recommend reading examples from the library.
