#### Post to MQTT #### Post to MQTT
##### Boot up MQTT
First, boot your local server infrastructure:
```sh
docker-compose --file software/container/docker-compose.yml up
```
##### Credentials ##### Credentials
To connect to your wifi and access your MQTT server you have to add this to an `environment` header file: To connect to your wifi and access your MQTT server you have to add this to an `environment` [header file](./02-energy-monitor-mqtt/environment.h):
```C ```C
#define secrect_ssid "your_ssid" // Replace with your network credentials
#define secret_password "your_password" #define secrect_ssid "Guest"
#define mqttServer = "m16.cloudmqtt.com" #define secret_password "guestguest"
#define mqttPort = 12595 #define mqtt_server "192.168.2.103"
#define mqtt_port 1883
#define mqtt_prefix "/iot-platform/engergy-montitor/test-device"
``` ```
The `mqtt_server` in tis example posts to my local IP adress. The Wifi network is a `Guest` network I just created for this test.
The `mqtt_prefix` should be different per device, as this is the topic prefix used to identify the device.
#### Testing
You can subscribe to your local MQTT server and subscribe to all or just the interesting topics:
```sh
mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t '#' -p 1883 #all
mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t '/iot-platform/engergy-montitor/test-device/ampere' -p 1883 #power
mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t '/iot-platform/engergy-montitor/test-device/watt' -p 1883 #current
```
##### Interesting code blocks
Posting to MQTT is quite simple. After setting up Wifi and connection to the MQTT server, it's just a few lines of code:
```C
client.publish(concat(mqttPrefix, "/watt"), powerArray);
client.publish(concat(mqttPrefix, "/ampere"), irmsArray);
```
Have a look at the complete [exampe](./02-energy-monitor-mqtt/).
