Asyn-MQTT-client how to set the client name

Q&A Forum › Category: ESP32 › Asyn-MQTT-client how to set the client name

Juergen Schnorr asked 2 years ago

Hi,
me again. Quick questions for my understanding. I checked the documentation of Asyn-MQTT-client. But I am not 100% sure.
Using this library I don’t have to set the MQTT client name for each ESP32 to be unique in the network. Am I correct? The device Mqtt client name is by default some chipID number?
I can set the name by using the “AsyncMqttClient& setClientId(const char* clientId)”?
I am coming from the pubSubClient version where I had to set the Mqtt client name for each device to be unique on the network.
Regards,
Juergen

Hi.
I’m sorry for the delay in my response.
Yes, you are correct.
If you want to customize the client ID and set it to something other than the default chip ID, you can use the setClientId() function provided by the library. This allows you to set a specific client ID for your device if you have a specific you want.

I hope this answers your question.
