(formerly known as asyncio-mqtt)
Write code like this:
Publish
async with Client("test.mosquitto.org") as client:
await client.publish("humidity/outside", payload=0.38)
Subscribe
async with Client("test.mosquitto.org") as client:
await client.subscribe("humidity/#")
async for message in client.messages:
print(message.payload)
aiomqtt combines the stability of the time-proven paho-mqtt library with an idiomatic asyncio interface:
- No more callbacks! π
- No more return codes (welcome to the
MqttError
) - Graceful disconnection (forget about
on_unsubscribe
,on_disconnect
, etc.) - Supports MQTT versions 5.0, 3.1.1 and 3.1
- Fully type-hinted
- Did we mention no more callbacks?

aiomqtt can be installed via pip install aiomqtt
. The only dependency is paho-mqtt.
If you can't wait for the latest version, you can install aiomqtt directly from GitHub with:
pip install git+https://github.com/sbtinstruments/aiomqtt
Since Python 3.8
, the default asyncio event loop is the ProactorEventLoop
. Said loop doesn't support the add_reader
method that is required by aiomqtt. Please switch to an event loop that supports the add_reader
method such as the built-in SelectorEventLoop
:
# Change to the "Selector" event loop if platform is Windows
if sys.platform.lower() == "win32" or os.name.lower() == "nt":
from asyncio import set_event_loop_policy, WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy
set_event_loop_policy(WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy())
# Run your async application as usual
asyncio.run(main())

Is aiomqtt not what you're looking for? There are a few other clients you can try:
- paho-mqtt: Synchronous client
- micropython-mqtt: Asynchronous client for microcontrollers in MicroPython
- gmqtt: Asynchronous client
- fastapi-mqtt: Asynchronous wrapper around gmqtt; Simplifies integration with FastAPI
- amqtt: Asynchronous client; Includes a broker
- trio-paho-mqtt: Asynchronous wrapper around paho-mqtt; Based on trio instead of asyncio
