+# PowerShell Module Extension - Implementation Summary
+
+## Overview
+This implementation extends the PowerShell support for the MQTTnet library as requested in issue #2215, implementing the proposal described in the ticket comments and exposing additional features of the library as PowerShell cmdlets.
+
+## Changes Implemented
+
+### 1. Enhanced RegisterMqttMessageHandler (Primary Requirement from #2215)
+**File**: `Source/MQTTnet.PowerShell/Cmdlets/RegisterMqttMessageHandlerCmdlet.cs`
+
+Implemented the proposal from the issue comment by @ArakniD:
+- Proper ScriptBlock execution in the correct runspace
+- Asynchronous message handling using Task.Run to avoid blocking
+- Passes three parameters to the handler: topic (string), payload (string), and full message object
+- Proper error handling with try-catch and error output to host
+- Captures the runspace during cmdlet execution and restores it during handler execution
+
+**Usage Example:**
+```powershell
+Register-MqttMessageHandler -Session $session -Action {
+    param($topic, $payload, $message)
+    Write-Host "Received on $topic: $payload"
+    # Can access $message.QoS, $message.Retain, etc.
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Enhanced Connection Options
+**File**: `Source/MQTTnet.PowerShell/Cmdlets/ConnectMqttSessionCmdlet.cs`
+
+Extended Connect-MqttSession with:
+- **WebSocket Support**: New `-WebSocketUri` parameter for WebSocket connections
+- **TLS/SSL Support**: New `-UseTls` and `-AllowUntrustedCertificates` parameters
+- **Last Will and Testament**: Parameters for `-WillTopic`, `-WillPayload`, `-WillQoS`, `-WillRetain`
+- **Connection Tuning**: Parameters for `-KeepAlivePeriod` and `-Timeout`
+- **Parameter Sets**: Organized into TCP, TcpWithTls, and WebSocket parameter sets
+
+**Usage Examples:**
+```powershell
+# TCP with TLS
+Connect-MqttSession -Session $session -Host "broker.com" -Port 8883 -UseTls
+
+# WebSocket
+Connect-MqttSession -Session $session -WebSocketUri "ws://broker.com:8000/mqtt"
+
+# With Last Will
+Connect-MqttSession -Session $session -Host "broker.com" `
+    -WillTopic "status" -WillPayload "Offline" -WillRetain
+```
+
+### 3. Enhanced Publishing
+**File**: `Source/MQTTnet.PowerShell/Cmdlets/PublishMqttMessageCmdlet.cs`
+
+Added support for:
+- **User Properties**: New `-UserProperties` parameter accepting a Hashtable
+- MQTT 5 features already supported: ContentType, ResponseTopic, TopicAlias, MessageExpiryInterval
+
+**Usage Example:**
+```powershell
+$props = @{ "source" = "PowerShell"; "version" = "1.0" }
+Publish-MqttMessage -Session $session -Topic "data" -Payload "test" -UserProperties $props
+```
+
+### 4. New Utility Cmdlets
+
+#### Get-MqttSessionStatus
+**File**: `Source/MQTTnet.PowerShell/Cmdlets/GetMqttSessionStatusCmdlet.cs`
+
+Returns connection status information.
+
+```powershell
+$status = Get-MqttSessionStatus -Session $session
+Write-Host "Connected: $($status.IsConnected)"
+```
+
+#### Test-MqttConnection
+**File**: `Source/MQTTnet.PowerShell/Cmdlets/TestMqttConnectionCmdlet.cs`
+
+Pings the broker to verify connectivity.
+
+```powershell
+$isAlive = Test-MqttConnection -Session $session -TimeoutSeconds 5
+```
+
+#### Unregister-MqttMessageHandler
+**File**: `Source/MQTTnet.PowerShell/Cmdlets/UnregisterMqttMessageHandlerCmdlet.cs`
+
+Clears all registered message handlers.
+
+```powershell
+Unregister-MqttMessageHandler -Session $session
+```
+
+#### Show-MqttExamples
+**File**: `Source/MQTTnet.PowerShell/Cmdlets/ShowMqttExamplesCmdlet.cs`
+
+Displays quick reference examples for common MQTT tasks.
+
+```powershell
+Show-MqttExamples
+```
+
+### 5. Enhanced PsMqttSession Class
+**File**: `Source/MQTTnet.PowerShell/PsMqttSession.cs`
+
+Added:
+- `ClearMessageHandlers()` method to remove all event handlers
+- Improved event handling infrastructure
+
+### 6. Documentation
+**Files**: 
+- `Source/MQTTnet.PowerShell/README.md` (new)
+- `Source/MQTTnet.PowerShell/Test.ps1` (updated)
+- `Source/MQTTnet.PowerShell/SmokeTest.ps1` (new)
+
+Created comprehensive documentation including:
+- Quick start guide
+- Detailed cmdlet documentation
+- Parameter descriptions
+- Usage examples for all features
+- Advanced scenarios (request-response, error handling)
+- Tips and best practices
+- Smoke tests for validation
+
+## Complete Cmdlet List (13 Total)
+
+1. **New-MqttSession** - Create MQTT session
+2. **Connect-MqttSession** - Connect with TCP/WebSocket/TLS support
+3. **Disconnect-MqttSession** - Clean disconnect
+4. **Remove-MqttSession** - Cleanup resources
+5. **Get-MqttSessionStatus** - Check connection status
+6. **Test-MqttConnection** - Ping broker
+7. **Publish-MqttMessage** - Publish with advanced features
+8. **Subscribe-MqttTopic** - Subscribe to topics
+9. **Unsubscribe-MqttTopic** - Unsubscribe from topics
+10. **Receive-MqttMessage** - Synchronous message receive
+11. **Register-MqttMessageHandler** - Async message handling ⭐ (Primary requirement)
+12. **Unregister-MqttMessageHandler** - Clear handlers
+13. **Show-MqttExamples** - Quick reference examples
+
+## Testing
+
+### Build Status
+✅ PowerShell module builds successfully
+✅ No compilation errors or warnings
+✅ Code passes CodeQL security analysis (0 alerts)
+
+### Smoke Tests
+✅ All 13 cmdlets load correctly
+✅ Session creation and disposal works
+✅ Show-MqttExamples returns help text
+✅ No runtime errors during basic operations
+
+### Test Files
+- `SmokeTest.ps1`: Quick validation of module loading and basic operations
+- `Test.ps1`: Comprehensive examples demonstrating all features
+
+## Features Not Implemented (Out of Scope)
+
+The following were considered but determined to be out of scope for this task:
+- MQTT broker/server cmdlets (only client features were requested)
+- Managed MQTT client wrapper (existing client is sufficient)
+- RPC extension support (specialized use case)
+- File-based certificate handling cmdlets (can be done with existing .NET capabilities)
+
+## Compatibility
+
+- Requires .NET 8.0 or later
+- Requires PowerShell 7.0 or later
+- Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS
+- Compatible with MQTT 3.1.1 and MQTT 5.0 protocols
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+None. This is a new feature addition that doesn't modify existing code outside the PowerShell module.
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+For users who were using the initial implementation from PR #2215:
+- The RegisterMqttMessageHandler now actually works! Update your scripts to use the handler.
+- Connect-MqttSession now requires explicit parameter sets (-Host for TCP, -WebSocketUri for WebSocket)
+- No other breaking changes
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential future improvements that could be added:
+1. Pipeline support for batch publishing
+2. Managed client wrapper for automatic reconnection
+3. Certificate-based authentication helpers
+4. MQTT broker cmdlets for running local brokers
+5. Performance counters and statistics cmdlets
+6. Async/await support for better PowerShell integration

+
+## Advanced Examples
+
+### Request-Response Pattern
+
+```powershell
+$session = New-MqttSession
+Connect-MqttSession -Session $session -Host "broker.hivemq.com"
+
+# Responder
+Subscribe-MqttTopic -Session $session -Topic "request/topic"
+Register-MqttMessageHandler -Session $session -Action {
+    param($topic, $payload, $message)
+    if ($message.ResponseTopic) {
+        $response = "Response to: $payload"
+        Publish-MqttMessage -Session $session -Topic $message.ResponseTopic `
+            -Payload $response
+    }
+}
+
+# Requestor (in another session)
+$responseSession = New-MqttSession
+Connect-MqttSession -Session $responseSession -Host "broker.hivemq.com"
+Subscribe-MqttTopic -Session $responseSession -Topic "response/topic"
+Publish-MqttMessage -Session $responseSession -Topic "request/topic" `
+    -Payload "Request data" -ResponseTopic "response/topic"
+
+# Wait for response
+$response = Receive-MqttMessage -Session $responseSession -TimeoutSeconds 10
+```
+
+### High QoS Publishing
+
+```powershell
+# Publish with QoS 2 (exactly once delivery)
+$result = Publish-MqttMessage -Session $session -Topic "critical/data" `
+    -Payload "Important data" -QoS 2
+
+Write-Host "Publish result: $($result.ReasonCode)"
+```
+
+### Error Handling in Message Handler
+
+```powershell
+Register-MqttMessageHandler -Session $session -Action {
+    param($topic, $payload, $message)
+    try {
+        # Process message
+        $data = ConvertFrom-Json $payload
+        # Do something with data
+    }
+    catch {
+        Write-Host "Error processing message: $_" -ForegroundColor Red
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Tips and Best Practices
+
+1. **Always disconnect cleanly**: Use `Disconnect-MqttSession` before `Remove-MqttSession`
+2. **Use appropriate QoS levels**: QoS 0 for best performance, QoS 1 for reliability, QoS 2 for critical data
+3. **Handle errors in message handlers**: Wrap handler code in try-catch blocks
+4. **Use meaningful client IDs**: Set custom client IDs for debugging
+5. **Secure connections**: Use TLS for production environments
+6. **Topic design**: Use hierarchical topic structures like `device/sensor/temperature`
+7. **Clean session**: Use `-CleanSession:$false` to maintain subscriptions across reconnects
+
