midge

midge is a native MQTT 3.1.1 client for classic AmigaOS, aimed at putting your Amiga on a modern smart-home network (Home Assistant, Mosquitto, EMQX) as both a display/control surface and a publisher of its own telemetry.

This release ships the command-line tools mqtt_pub and mqtt_sub, and mqtt.library, a shared library exposing the same MQTT client to other AmigaOS programs, with optional TLS via AmiSSL. A ReAction dashboard application is planned for a future release.

Requirements

• AmigaOS 3.1+ (3.2 is the reference platform), 68020 or better.
• A TCP/IP stack providing bsdsocket.library (Roadshow, AmiTCP, Miami, or an emulator-provided stack).
• For TLS: AmiSSL 5.x, installed separately - see Installation.

See Installation for unpacking the archive and the mqtt.library install step the default tools need.

Quick start

mqtt_sub HOST 192.168.1.10 TOPIC home/#
mqtt_pub HOST 192.168.1.10 TOPIC home/amiga/hello MESSAGE "hello from midge"

See the CLI Reference for the full argument list, or mqtt.library if you're writing your own AmigaOS program against the MQTT client directly.
