Hello,

Can you recommend any MQTT clients with sparkplub B for use with Ignition as an MQTT broker?

I have tested out Paho in Python, but was wondering if there are any suitable alternatives that require less scripting?

Check out Tahu - [GitHub - eclipse/tahu: Eclipse Tahu addresses the existence of legacy SCADA/DCS/ICS protocols and infrastructures and provides a much-needed definition of how best to apply MQTT into these existing industrial operational environments.](https://github.com/eclipse/tahu/)

Eclipse Tahu provides client libraries and reference implementations in various languages and for various devices to show how the device/remote application must connect and disconnect from the MQTT server using the Sparkplug specification.
