The MQTT gateway is basically a Ethernet Gateway with modified software which makes it act as a MQTT client. Start by building the physical gateway by following ethernet gateway instructions.
The W5100 MQTT gateway sends radio network (or locally attached sensors) data to your MQTT broker. The node also listens to MY_MQTT_TOPIC_PREFIX and sends out those messages to the radio network.
NOTE: No controller supports dynamic ID assignment through MQTT. All nodes must have MY_NODE_ID defined in the sketch to work with MQTT. If you don't set MY_NODE_ID, nodes will complain with the message "!TSM:ID:FAIL".
Configuration
The MQTT gateway sketch contains some static configuration like ip- and port number. Please update these values to fit your needs before uploading it.
// Enable these if your MQTT broker requires usenrame/password
//#define MY_MQTT_USER "username"
//#define MY_MQTT_PASSWORD "password"
// Enable MY_IP_ADDRESS here if you want a static ip address (no DHCP)
#define MY_IP_ADDRESS 192,168,178,87
// If using static ip you need to define Gateway and Subnet address as well
#define MY_IP_GATEWAY_ADDRESS 192,168,178,1
#define MY_IP_SUBNET_ADDRESS 255,255,255,0
// MQTT broker ip address or url. Define one or the other.
//#define MY_CONTROLLER_URL_ADDRESS "m20.cloudmqtt.com"
#define MY_CONTROLLER_IP_ADDRESS 192, 168, 178, 68
// The MQTT broker port to to open
#define MY_PORT 1883MQTTGateway Example
This is a fully working example sketch.

* Not all ESP8266 modules have all pins available on their external interface.
* This code has been tested on an ESP-12 module.
* The ESP8266 requires a certain pin configuration to download code, and another one to run code:
* - Connect REST (reset) via 10K pullup resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('reset switch')
* - Connect GPIO15 via 10K pulldown resistor to GND
* - Connect CH_PD via 10K resistor to VCC
* - Connect GPIO2 via 10K resistor to VCC
* - Connect GPIO0 via 10K resistor to VCC, and via switch to GND ('bootload switch')
*
* Inclusion mode button:
* - Connect GPIO5 via switch to GND ('inclusion switch')

Setup and test gateway
You can run the MQTT gateway on an Arduino+W5100 ethernet module or the ESP8266. Connect radio and ethernet module exactly like for the normal gateway.
The topic resembles the serial protocol. You must define you preferred subscribe and publish prefix in the sketch. The topic is build like this: MY_MQTT_PUBLISH_TOPIC_PREFIX/FROM-NODE-ID/SENSOR-ID/CMD-TYPE/ACK-FLAG/SUB-TYPE
Read more about the serial protocol here. An example topic for data received from your gateway could look like this:
mygateway1-out/2/1/1/0/49
If you want to send data to your sensors use MY_MQTT_SUBSCRIBE_TOPIC_PREFIX defined in your sketch. Should be looking like this (using default sketch):
mygateway1-in/2/1/1/0/49
You can test your gateway using mosquitto as broker.
Make sure to set MY_IP_GATEWAY_ADDRESS in gateway pointing to you computers ip-number (on the same lan).
Start the broker (leave this running):
> mosquitto
Now start your gateway and you should see something like this in the gateway log. Note that I have a GPS sensor running in my radio network which send data to the gateway all the time:
0;0;3;0;9;gateway started, id=0, parent=0, distance=0
0;0;3;0;9;Attempting MQTT connection...

0;0;3;0;9;Sending message on topic: mygateway1-out/2/1/1/0/49Subscribe to messages (in another shell on your computer)
> mosquitto_sub -v -t 'mygateway1-out/#'
You should see the messages like you saw in the gateway-log showing up like this:
mygateway1-out/2/1/1/0/49 55.722519;13.018121;13
mygateway1-out/2/1/1/0/49 55.722519;13.018114;12

> mosquitto_pub -t 'mygateway1-in/2/1/1/0/49' -m '0,29'
