MQTT-TCP Bridge with GUI

This project provides a bridge between MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) and TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) communication. It allows you to forward messages between MQTT topics and TCP clients seamlessly. The project includes a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy configuration and management.

Features

• MQTT to TCP Forwarding: Forward messages received on an MQTT topic to connected TCP clients.

• TCP to MQTT Forwarding: Forward data received from TCP clients to an MQTT topic.

• GUI Configuration: Configure MQTT broker details, TCP server settings, and topics through a user-friendly GUI.

• TLS/SSL Support: Secure your MQTT connections with TLS/SSL encryption.

• Multi-Client Support: Handle multiple TCP client connections simultaneously.

• Configuration Persistence: Save and load configuration settings from a JSON file.

Requirements

• Python 3.x

• paho-mqtt library

• Pillow library (for GUI image handling)

• tkinter (for GUI)

• pyinstaller (for compiling to .exe)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/SAMMYBOOOOM/mqtt-tcp-bridge.git
   cd mqtt-tcp-bridge

2. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the application:

   • To run the Python script directly:

     python MQTT_tcp_gui.py

   • To use the compiled .exe file, navigate to the build directory and run:

     ./MQTT_tcp_gui.exe

Usage

1. Launch the Application:

   • Run the MQTT_tcp_gui.exe from the build directory.

2. Configure Settings:

   • Enter the MQTT broker details (server, port, username, password).

   • Specify the MQTT topics for call and response.

   • Set the TCP server IP and port.

   • Enable or disable TLS/SSL as needed.

3. Submit Configuration:

   • Click the "Submit" button to save the configuration and start the MQTT client and TCP server.

4. Monitor Connections:

   • The application will print connection and message forwarding details to the console.
