MQTT broker for Windows IOT Core?

Question

I have a Raspberry Pi running Windows IOT Core and it is running my home automation application. Now I need to set up communication between the RB pie and ESP8266.

I've been considering the MQTT protocol but I don't want to have an external server running the MQTT broker and I can't find a broker for the Win IOT. Does a MQTT broker exist for Windows IOT Core? If not, what communication protocol would you recommend for this purpose?

Answer 1

Antonio there are a few options available for you on Windows IoT Core

If you're building an application using Node.js there's Mosca (http://www.mosca.io)

If you're building an application using Python, you can check out hbmqtt (https://github.com/beerfactory/hbmqtt)

Of course for .NET applications you can search Nuget. GnattMQ (www.nuget.org/packages/GnatMQ) seems to be pretty popular .NET library
