Setting up WP-MQTT is easy. Simply supply your MQTT broker’s details and configure which WordPress events should trigger messages.

“MQTT is a machine-to-machine (M2M)/”Internet of Things” connectivity protocol. It was designed as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport.” (from mqtt.org)

A number of events are predefined. Simply check the right checkbox and fill in the message’s subject and text.

  • Pageview
  • User login
  • Failed user login
  • Post published
  • Page published
  • New comment

Other events can be added using the “custom events” section. This allows you to use any WordPress hook (actions and filters) to trigger messages.
