I'm planning the attached solution for my home automation/control project. Basically a bunch of ESPs connected to a RPi through MQTT.

I'm stuck in the implementation of the MQTT client (ESP modules). I looked at Tuan MP's project but it is not designed to work on the Arduino ESP8266 IDE and I'm not sure if it would the best option having my plan scope in mind.

I started with the idea of using an Arduino on each node (Arduino+ESP). The Arduino would handle the logic and ESP the WiFi connection, but I guess it is overkill for what I'm trying to do. Plus, it is more expensive and consumes more power per node.

Any suggestions?

TIA

i'm using this Library and it works fine.

Give it a try, there are some Samples included that show you how to use.

Do you have working example? Wiring and so on?

Thanks
