Publish a retained message to a topic

Problem

You want to publish a retained message to an MQTT topic on a broker.

Solution

Set the Retain option to true in the MQTT Output node configuration dialog, or set the msg.retain message property to true in the message sent to the node.

Example

Flow JSON

[{"id":"4a7dc819.3aa6f8","type":"mqtt out","z":"eda2a949.74ea98","name":"","topic":"sensors/livingroom/temp","qos":"","retain":"true","broker":"61de5090.0f5d9","x":430,"y":420,"wires":[]},{"id":"fb7b873.c391878","type":"inject","z":"eda2a949.74ea98","name":"temperature","topic":"","payload":"22","payloadType":"num","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"x":230,"y":420,"wires":[["4a7dc819.3aa6f8"]]},{"id":"61de5090.0f5d9","type":"mqtt-broker","z":"","broker":"localhost","port":"1883","clientid":"","usetls":false,"compatmode":true,"keepalive":"60","cleansession":true,"willTopic":"","willQos":"0","willPayload":"","birthTopic":"","birthQos":"0","birthPayload":""}]

Discussion

Once you have sent a retained message to a topic, all subscribers will receive that message when they subscribe.

To clear a previously retained topic from the broker, send a blank message to that topic with the retain flag set.
