n8n's built-in MQTT Trigger node subscribes directly to Mosquitto broker topics, enabling event-driven workflows whenever a device publishes a message — connecting shop floor events to business systems.
KubeEdge EventBus component integrates with MQTT brokers like Mosquitto for device communication
Telegraf subscribes to MQTT topics from Mosquitto and writes messages to time-series databases
Eclipse Kapua uses Mosquitto as its underlying MQTT broker for device communication. While Kapua provides the device management layer, Mosquitto handles the actual MQTT message routing between devices and the cloud backend.
Eclipse Kura includes built-in MQTT broker support and can integrate with Mosquitto for message brokering at the edge.
Eclipse Ditto connects to MQTT brokers like Eclipse Mosquitto to consume device telemetry and send commands. Ditto's Connectivity service supports MQTT 3.1.1 and MQTT 5 protocols.
Eclipse Hono includes an MQTT protocol adapter that allows devices to connect using MQTT, similar to how they would connect to Mosquitto. Hono can use an existing MQTT broker as its messaging infrastructure or expose its own MQTT adapter endpoint.
ThingsBoard's MQTT transport layer can connect to Mosquitto brokers, or ThingsBoard can act as its own MQTT broker (via TBMQ). Devices publishing to a Mosquitto broker can be ingested into ThingsBoard using the IoT Gateway's MQTT connector.
Mosquitto publishes MQTT messages that Telegraf (InfluxData's collection agent, part of the InfluxDB ecosystem) subscribes to and writes into InfluxDB. Telegraf acts as the bridge — it's a standalone agent from InfluxData that collects metrics from 300+ sources, including MQTT brokers, and writes them to InfluxDB. This Mosquitto → Telegraf → InfluxDB pipeline is the data ingestion path in the MING stack.
StreamPipes connects to Mosquitto as an MQTT data source via its built-in MQTT adapter, enabling real-time ingestion of sensor and telemetry data from the factory floor into StreamPipes analytics pipelines.
Grafana subscribes to MQTT topics for real-time dashboards
Node-RED connects to MQTT brokers natively
UMH uses Mosquitto as its internal MQTT broker for the Unified Namespace
Ignition connects to Mosquitto MQTT broker via the Cirrus Link MQTT modules for IIoT data collection and edge-to-cloud communication.
Rapid SCADA integrates with Mosquitto as an MQTT broker for IIoT device communication and data acquisition.
