MQTT

Overview

The MQTT Broker driver connects Control4 to an MQTT broker (such as Mosquitto, HiveMQ, or other MQTT-compatible platforms). It manages the connection and provides pub/sub services to child drivers (switch, button, contact, etc.) that connect via the MQTT broker connection binding.

Features

• Local network communication requiring no cloud services
• Connects to any standard MQTT broker
• Supports username/password authentication
• Manages subscriptions for connected child drivers
• Automatic reconnection on disconnect
• Message caching for late-subscribing devices

System requirements

• Control4 OS 3.3+
• An MQTT broker accessible on the local network
