Do wee need to implement MQTT client on all Zigbee nodes

[chandra sekhar seereddi]

Hi,

I am very much new to IoT ecosystem.

I have a project where I need to connect all the MCU+Zigbee nodes to one Master Zigbee and that master is connected to a gateway. 

My question is do I really need to implement the MQTT client on all the slave nodes to send data. Actually I will be sending only one sensor data over zigbee in json format.

Regards,

H Chandra, 

It is not mandatory to implement MQTT in each of your slave. But your Master or the Gateway should be able to send the identity of each save to the central MQTT Manager as different clients. So that each device can be identified individually for data collection or management at the central Manager level. We have seen this in one of our customer implementations. 

Hope this helps.
