Uses mqtt input component found in wombatwisdom/components. It differs from the mqtt input in that it exposes enable_auto_ack, which is set to false by default.

MQTT Version

This component supports MQTT v3.1.1 protocol. For MQTT v5 support, use ww_mqtt_5 (coming soon).

Delivery guarantees

By default, this input disables auto acknowledgment to ensure at-least-once delivery semantics.

If message loss is acceptable, you can set enable_auto_ack: true to enable at-most-once delivery.

Example: At least once

input:
ww_mqtt_3:
urls:
- tcp://localhost:1883
filters:
sensor/+/data: 1
clean_session: false
enable_auto_ack: false # Ack will happen once output is done processing.

Example: at most once

input:
ww_mqtt_3:
urls:
- tcp://localhost:1883
filters:
metrics/#: 0
clean_session: true
enable_auto_ack: true # Ack will happen once input receives message
