This function creates an MQTT client, connects to a broker and publishes a list of messages. Once the messages have been delivered, it disconnects cleanly from the broker. msgs : a list of messages to publish. Each message is either a dict or a tuple. If a dict, only the topic must be present. Default values will be used for any missing arguments. The dict must be of the form: msg = {'topic':"", 'payload':"", 'qos':, 'retain':} topic must be present and may not be empty. If payload is "", None or not present then a zero length payload will be published. If qos is not present, the default of 0 is used. If retain is not present, the default of False is used. If a tuple, then it must be of the form: ("", "", qos, retain) hostname : a string containing the address of the broker to connect to. Defaults to localhost. port : the port to connect to the broker on. Defaults to 1883. client_id : the MQTT client id to use. If "" or None, the Paho library will generate a client id automatically. keepalive : the keepalive timeout value for the client. Defaults to 60 seconds. will : a dict containing will parameters for the client: will = {'topic': "", 'payload':", 'qos':, 'retain':}. Topic is required, all other parameters are optional and will default to None, 0 and False respectively. Defaults to None, which indicates no will should be used. auth : a dict containing authentication parameters for the client: auth = {'username':"", 'password':""} Username is required, password is optional and will default to None if not provided. Defaults to None, which indicates no authentication is to be used. tls : a dict containing TLS configuration parameters for the client: dict = {'ca_certs':"", 'certfile':"", 'keyfile':"", 'tls_version':"", 'ciphers':"} ca_certs is required, all other parameters are optional and will default to None if not provided, which results in the client using the default behaviour - see the paho.mqtt.client documentation. Alternatively, tls input can be an SSLContext object, which will be processed using the tls_set_context method. Defaults to None, which indicates that TLS should not be used. transport : set to "tcp" to use the default setting of transport which is raw TCP.
