TBDeviceMqttClient
✓ from tb_device_mqtt import TBDeviceMqttClient
✗ from tb_mqtt_client import TBDeviceMqttClient
Wrong module name leads to ImportError

Connects to ThingsBoard, sends telemetry using access token authentication.

from tb_device_mqtt import TBDeviceMqttClient import os client = TBDeviceMqttClient("demo.thingsboard.io", username=os.environ.get('TB_ACCESS_TOKEN', '')) client.connect() client.send_telemetry({"temperature": 22.5}) client.disconnect()
Debug
Known issues
breakingTBDeviceMqttClient no longer supports direct host passing in constructor with TLS; use TBDeviceMqttClient(host, port=8883, tls=True) or set tls=True explicitly.
fix
Use keyword argument tls=True when connecting to TLS endpoints.
affects: >=1.10.0
deprecatedThe 'quality_of_service' parameter in send_telemetry is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
fix
Remove qos parameter from send_telemetry calls.
affects: >=1.12.0
gotchaThe client does not auto-reconnect by default; connection loss leads to silent failures.
fix
Implement manual reconnection logic using on_disconnect callback or enable automatic reconnect via paho-mqtt options.
affects: all
