+summary: 'MQTT interface to Prosody''s pubsub'
+...
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+[MQTT](http://mqtt.org/) is a lightweight binary pubsub protocol suited
+to embedded devices. This module provides a way for MQTT clients to
+connect to Prosody and publish or subscribe to local pubsub nodes.
+
+The module currently implements MQTT version 3.1.1.
+
+Details
+-------
+
+MQTT has the concept of 'topics' (similar to XMPP's pubsub 'nodes').
+mod\_pubsub\_mqtt maps pubsub nodes to MQTT topics of the form
+`<HOST>/<TYPE>/<NODE>`, e.g.`pubsub.example.org/json/mynode`.
+
+The 'TYPE' parameter in the topic allows the client to choose the payload
+format it will send/receive. For the supported values of 'TYPE' see the
+'Payloads' section below.
+
+### Limitations
+
+The current implementation is quite basic, and in particular:
+
+-   Authentication is not supported
+-   Only QoS level 0 is supported
+
+### Payloads
+
+XMPP payloads are always XML, but MQTT does not define a payload format.
+Therefore mod\_pubsub\_mqtt has some built-in data format translators.
+
+Currently supported data types:
+
+-   `json`: See [XEP-0335](http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0335.html) for
+    the format.
+-   `utf8`: Plain UTF-8 text (wrapped inside
+    `<data xmlns="https://prosody.im/protocol/mqtt"/>`)
+-   `atom_title`: Returns the title of an Atom entry as UTF-8 data
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+There is no special configuration for this module. Simply load it on
+your pubsub host like so:
+
+    Component "pubsub.example.org" "pubsub"
+        modules_enabled = { "pubsub_mqtt" }
+
+You may also configure which port(s) mod\_pubsub\_mqtt listens on using
+Prosody's standard config directives, such as `mqtt_ports` and
+`mqtt_tls_ports`. Network settings **must** be specified in the global section
+of the config file, not under any particular pubsub component. The default
+port is 1883 (MQTT's standard port number) and 8883 for TLS connections.
