Mqtt client id usage

[Lars_Andersson]

Can a Mqtt client ID be used publishing data from more than one instance at the same time?

@Lars_Andersson

I believe we’ve addressed questions around this topic in the post between myself, @Heath, and you: MQTT publishing

Are you referring to something different than what we’ve covered in the above?

Thanks,

It’s related to that same post, just curious if more than one concurrent session can take place using the same MQTT client ID.

Hi Lars,

Unfortunately, this is not possible using one client ID. When attempting to connect two sessions, you will be disconnected, and will only be able to sustain one.

Thanks so much,
Julia

Can the MQTT client ID be dynamically generated or does it have to be predefined?

[JuliaKempf]

Hi Lars,

The Client ID must be predefined. Please let me know if you have any additional questions around MQTT.

Thanks,
Julia

Funny, I was just reading the following post:

MQTT Integration. Dynamic Updates for Client ID and Password

Hello Losant Team, I need to integrate with another service using MQTT. I’ve selected MQTT Integration feature and I need to use dynamically updated Client ID and Password. As far as I can see in Losant Web GUI, MQTT Integrations support only statically entered credentials. Can I use Losant API Node / Application: MQTT Publish Message for those purposes? If yes, could you refer an example with topic, message, broker address, etc defined in Node Payload? Thanks

Looks similar to my issue, but maybe I’m misunderstanding how it works.
