medium📝 Debug Q14 of 15
Raspberry Pi - MQTT for IoT
Identify the error in this MQTT client setup code:
import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt

client = mqtt.Client()
client.connect('broker.hivemq.com', 1883)
client.subscribe('home/temperature')
client.on_message = lambda c, u, m: print(m.payload)
# Missing client.loop_forever()
AThe on_message callback is assigned after subscribe()
BThe subscribe topic is invalid
CThe broker address is incorrect
DThe client loop method to process network events is missing
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check client loop usage

    MQTT client needs a loop method like loop_forever() or loop_start() to process messages.
  2. Step 2: Verify other parts

    Assigning on_message after subscribe is allowed; broker and topic are valid.
  3. Final Answer:

    The client loop method to process network events is missing -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Missing loop = no message processing [OK]
Quick Trick: Always run client.loop_start() or loop_forever() after setup [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Not running the client loop to handle messages
  • Thinking on_message must be set before subscribe
  • Assuming broker or topic is wrong without checking
