MQTT library for Garmin

I want to send the sensor data i have gathered from the watch to a MQTT-broker and finally to a dashbaord. I also want to be able to send data from the dashboard to the watch. I cannot find any MQTT libraries that are supported. I see that the Garmin IQ SDK does support HTTP though. Does anyone know how I can solve this and what the limitations of the Garmin framework are.

IQ is very-sandboxed (limited) environment. You have to not treat it as a general computer. There aren’t also “libraries” like for other environments that will let you do any old thing.…

IQ is very-sandboxed (limited) environment. You have to not treat it as a general computer. There aren’t also “libraries” like for other environments that will let you do any old thing.

AFAICT, there are basically two ways to connect out of it. A call to a website using HTTP (sending/receiving JSON or using query parameters) or connecting to a (special built) app on the phone.

So, you’d have to do your MQTT stuff outside of IQ (on a website or in a phone app).
