MQTT is becoming (if not already) de main data transmission protocol for Industry 4.0, most PLC and industrial devices support it natively.
DataMiner protocol support several types of communications, such as SNMP, serial, HTTP, etc. but not natively MQTT. It´s also true that most MQTT brokers support HTTP or websockets, but a native protocol connection type would make a more robust implementation.
Is there any plan to natively support MQTT?
Note, I refer to MQTT client protocol connectivity type , not mqtt broker.
Sergio,
Currently we have already an MQTT client driver, but MQTT has not natively been integrated in DataMiner yet. The need for the latter has not really surfaced also, i.e. personally I have not seen many projects where this is required. But of course we are continuously evaluating this kind of matters, and a native integration is always an option (but in the meanwhile, as you indicated, this can also be supported via a driver implementation).
