    }

    if (topic && data) {
        printf("Received: %.*s on topic: %s\n", data_len, data, topic);
    }
}

void app_main(void) {
    // Configure MQTT
    mqtt_config_t config = {
        .broker_url = "mqtt://192.168.1.100",
        .broker_port = 1883,
        .client_id = "esp32_device_001",

        .password = NULL,        // Optional
        .keepalive = 60,
        .network_timeout_ms = 5000
    };

    // Initialize MQTT manager
    esp_err_t ret = mqtt_manager_init(&config, mqtt_event_callback);
    if (ret != ESP_OK) {
        printf("MQTT initialization failed: %s\n", esp_err_to_name(ret));
        return;
    }

    // Start MQTT client
    mqtt_manager_start();

    // Main application loop
    while (1) {
        if (mqtt_manager_is_connected()) {
            // Publish sensor data
            mqtt_manager_publish_string("sensors/temperature", "25.6", 0, 0);

        }

        vTaskDelay(pdMS_TO_TICKS(30000)); // Publish every 30 seconds
    }
}

Sensor Data Publishing Example

#include "mqtt_manager.h"
#include "dht22_sensor.h"

void sensor_data_example(void) {
    // Initialize MQTT
    mqtt_config_t config = {
        .broker_url = "mqtt://iot.example.com",
        .broker_port = 1883,
        .client_id = "weather_station_01",
        .username = "sensor_user",
        .password = "sensor_pass",
        .keepalive = 60,
        .network_timeout_ms = 10000
    };

    mqtt_manager_init(&config, NULL);
    mqtt_manager_start();

    // Initialize sensor
    dht22_init(GPIO_NUM_4);

    while (1) {
        if (mqtt_manager_is_connected()) {
            float temperature, humidity;
            if (dht22_read(&temperature, &humidity) == DHT22_OK) {
                // Publish formatted sensor data as JSON
                mqtt_manager_publish_sensor_data(
                    "sensors/weather",
                    temperature,
                    humidity,
                    "weather_station_01",
                    1,  // QoS 1 for reliability
                    0   // No retain
                );

                printf("Published: Temp=%.1f°C, Humidity=%.1f%%\n", temperature, humidity);
            }
        }
        vTaskDelay(pdMS_TO_TICKS(60000)); // Every minute
    }
}

Subscribe and Command Processing

#include "mqtt_manager.h"

void command_callback(mqtt_status_t status, const char *topic, const char *data, int data_len) {
    if (status == MQTT_STATUS_CONNECTED) {
        // Subscribe to command topics when connected
        mqtt_manager_subscribe("device/commands", 1);
        mqtt_manager_subscribe("device/config", 1);
    }

    if (topic && data) {
        if (strcmp(topic, "device/commands") == 0) {
            char command[64];
            snprintf(command, sizeof(command), "%.*s", data_len, data);

            if (strcmp(command, "restart") == 0) {
                printf("Restart command received\n");
                esp_restart();
            } else if (strcmp(command, "status") == 0) {
                mqtt_manager_publish_string("device/status", "online", 1, 0);
            }
        }

        if (strcmp(topic, "device/config") == 0) {
            printf("Config update: %.*s\n", data_len, data);
            // Process configuration updates
        }
    }
}

void command_processing_example(void) {
    mqtt_config_t config = {
        .broker_url = "mqtts://secure-broker.com",
        .broker_port = 8883,
        .client_id = "smart_device_01",
        .username = "device",
        .password = "secure_password",
        .keepalive = 120,
        .network_timeout_ms = 10000
    };

    mqtt_manager_init(&config, command_callback);
    mqtt_manager_start();

    // Application continues...
}

TLS/SSL with Certificate Authentication

For secure MQTT connections (mqtts://), you can provide a CA certificate for server verification:

#include "mqtt_manager.h"

// Embedded CA certificate - from your src/certs/ca.crt file
extern const uint8_t ca_crt_start[] asm("_binary_ca_crt_start");

void secure_mqtt_example(void) {
    mqtt_config_t config = {
        .broker_url = "mqtts://mqtt.example.com",
        .broker_port = 8883,
        .client_id = "secure_device_01",
        .username = "device_user",
        .password = "secure_password",
        .ca_cert_pem = (const char *)ca_crt_start,  // Embedded CA certificate
        .keepalive = 60,
        .network_timeout_ms = 10000
    };

    mqtt_manager_init(&config, mqtt_callback);
    mqtt_manager_start();
}

Embedding Certificates in Firmware

To embed a CA certificate in your firmware:

1. Place certificate file:

   src/certs/ca.crt
   

2. Update src/CMakeLists.txt:

   idf_component_register(
       SRCS ${app_sources}
       EMBED_TXTFILES "certs/ca.crt"
   )
   

3. Reference in your code:

   extern const uint8_t ca_crt_start[] asm("_binary_ca_crt_start");
   extern const uint8_t ca_crt_end[] asm("_binary_ca_crt_end");
   
   // Use in config
   mqtt_config_t config = {
       .ca_cert_pem = (const char *)ca_crt_start,
       // ... other config
   };
   

The symbol name format is _binary_<filename_no_path>_start and _binary_<filename_no_path>_end where slashes are converted to underscores.

🧩 Integration Examples

With WiFi Manager

#include "mqtt_manager.h"
#include "wifi_manager.h"

void wifi_mqtt_integration(void) {
    // Initialize WiFi first
    esp_err_t ret = wifi_manager_init("MyWiFi", "password", wifi_event_callback);
    if (ret != ESP_OK) return;

    wifi_manager_start();

    // Wait for WiFi connection
    if (wifi_manager_wait_for_connection(30000)) {
        printf("WiFi connected, starting MQTT...\n");

        mqtt_config_t config = {
            .broker_url = "mqtt://local-broker",
            .client_id = "wifi_device"
        };

        mqtt_manager_init(&config, mqtt_event_callback);
        mqtt_manager_start();
    } else {
        printf("WiFi connection failed\n");
    }
}

With LED Status Indication

#include "mqtt_manager.h"
#include "led_manager.h"

void mqtt_status_callback(mqtt_status_t status, const char *topic, const char *data, int data_len) {
    switch (status) {
        case MQTT_STATUS_CONNECTING:
            led_manager_set_color_by_name("Orange", true);  // Blinking orange
            break;
        case MQTT_STATUS_CONNECTED:
            led_manager_set_color_by_name("Green", false);  // Solid green
            break;
        case MQTT_STATUS_DISCONNECTED:
        case MQTT_STATUS_ERROR:
            led_manager_set_color_by_name("Red", true);     // Blinking red
            break;
    }
}

void mqtt_led_integration(void) {
    led_manager_init(GPIO_NUM_8);

    mqtt_config_t config = {
        .broker_url = "mqtt://broker.com",
        .client_id = "led_device"
    };

    mqtt_manager_init(&config, mqtt_status_callback);
    mqtt_manager_start();
}

🔍 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Connection Timeouts

   // Increase network timeout
   mqtt_config_t config = {
       .broker_url = "mqtt://slow-broker.com",
       .network_timeout_ms = 30000,  // 30 seconds
       .keepalive = 300              // 5 minutes
   };
   

2. Authentication Failures

   // Verify credentials
   mqtt_config_t config = {
       .broker_url = "mqtt://secure-broker.com",
       .client_id = "unique_device_id",  // Must be unique
       .username = "correct_username",
       .password = "correct_password"
   };
   

3. Message Publishing Failures

   // Check connection before publishing
   if (mqtt_manager_is_connected()) {
       int msg_id = mqtt_manager_publish_string("test", "data", 1, 0);
       if (msg_id == -1) {
           ESP_LOGE("MQTT", "Publish failed");
           mqtt_manager_reconnect();
       }
   }
   

Network Issues

Intermittent Connections:

• Check WiFi stability
• Increase keepalive interval
• Monitor broker logs

Slow Publishing:

• Use QoS 0 for non-critical data
• Reduce message frequency
• Optimize payload size

Debug Functions

void mqtt_debug_info(void) {
    mqtt_status_t status = mqtt_manager_get_status();

    printf("MQTT Status: ");
    switch (status) {
        case MQTT_STATUS_DISCONNECTED:
            printf("DISCONNECTED\n");
            break;
        case MQTT_STATUS_CONNECTING:
            printf("CONNECTING\n");
            break;
        case MQTT_STATUS_CONNECTED:
            printf("CONNECTED\n");
            break;
        case MQTT_STATUS_ERROR:
            printf("ERROR\n");
            break;
    }

    if (mqtt_manager_is_connected()) {
        // Test publish
        int msg_id = mqtt_manager_publish_string("debug/test", "ping", 0, 0);
        printf("Test message ID: %d\n", msg_id);
    }
}
