## Installation

1. Build the MQTTnet.PowerShell project:
   ```powershell
   dotnet build Source/MQTTnet.PowerShell/MQTTnet.PowerShell.csproj
   ```

2. Import the module:
   ```powershell
   Import-Module ./Source/MQTTnet.PowerShell/bin/Debug/net8.0/MQTTnet.PowerShell.dll
   ```

## Quick Start

### Basic Connection and Publish

```powershell
# Create a new MQTT session
$session = New-MqttSession

# Connect to a broker
Connect-MqttSession -Session $session -Host "broker.hivemq.com" -Port 1883

# Publish a message
Publish-MqttMessage -Session $session -Topic "test/topic" -Payload "Hello MQTT!"

# Disconnect and cleanup
Disconnect-MqttSession -Session $session
Remove-MqttSession -Session $session
```

### Subscribe and Receive Messages

```powershell
$session = New-MqttSession
Connect-MqttSession -Session $session -Host "broker.hivemq.com"

# Subscribe to a topic
Subscribe-MqttTopic -Session $session -Topic "test/demo"

# Wait for a message (with timeout)
$message = Receive-MqttMessage -Session $session -TimeoutSeconds 30
Write-Host "Received: $($message.Payload)"

Disconnect-MqttSession -Session $session
Remove-MqttSession -Session $session
```

### Async Message Handler

```powershell
$session = New-MqttSession
Connect-MqttSession -Session $session -Host "broker.hivemq.com"

Subscribe-MqttTopic -Session $session -Topic "test/#"

# Register a message handler
Register-MqttMessageHandler -Session $session -Action {
    param($topic, $payload, $message)
    Write-Host "Message on $topic : $payload"
    Write-Host "QoS: $($message.QoS), Retain: $($message.Retain)"
}

# Messages will be handled asynchronously
Start-Sleep -Seconds 60

Disconnect-MqttSession -Session $session
Remove-MqttSession -Session $session
```

#### Register-MqttMessageHandler
Registers an asynchronous message handler using a PowerShell ScriptBlock.

```powershell

    param($topic, $payload, $message)
    
    Write-Host "Topic: $topic"
    Write-Host "Payload: $payload"
    Write-Host "QoS: $($message.QoS)"
    
    # Access full message properties
    if ($message.UserProperties) {
        foreach ($prop in $message.UserProperties) {

2. `$payload`: The message payload as UTF-8 string
3. `$message`: The full message object with properties:
   - `Topic`: Message topic
   - `Payload`: Payload as string
   - `RawPayload`: Payload as byte array
   - `QoS`: Quality of Service level
   - `Retain`: Retain flag
   - `ContentType`: Content type
   - `ResponseTopic`: Response topic
   - `UserProperties`: List of user properties

**Parameters:**

## 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
