# Environment Variables for LLM Integration
This document provides examples of how to configure the AI Assistant using environment variables for server deployments.
## Basic Configuration
```bash
# Set up OpenAI as the provider
export LLM_PROVIDER=openai
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-proj-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
# Or use Gemini
export LLM_PROVIDER=gemini
export GEMINI_API_KEY=AIzaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
# Or use the generic LLM_API_KEY (works with either provider)
export LLM_PROVIDER=openai
export LLM_API_KEY=sk-proj-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
```
## Advanced Configuration
```bash
# Configure token limit for neighboring topics context
export LLM_NEIGHBORING_TOPICS_TOKEN_LIMIT=100 # Default: 100 tokens
# Example: Increase token limit for more context
export LLM_NEIGHBORING_TOPICS_TOKEN_LIMIT=200
# Example: Decrease token limit to reduce API costs
export LLM_NEIGHBORING_TOPICS_TOKEN_LIMIT=50
```
## Complete Example for Server Deployment
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# start-mqtt-explorer.sh
# MQTT Connection
export MQTT_EXPLORER_SKIP_AUTH=true # Or configure authentication
export MQTT_AUTO_CONNECT_HOST=mqtt.example.com
export MQTT_AUTO_CONNECT_PORT=1883
# LLM Configuration
export LLM_PROVIDER=gemini
export GEMINI_API_KEY=AIzaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
export LLM_NEIGHBORING_TOPICS_TOKEN_LIMIT=100
# Start the server
node dist/src/server.js
```
## Docker Example
```dockerfile
# Dockerfile
FROM node:24-alpine
WORKDIR /app
COPY . .
RUN yarn install && yarn build:server
# Environment variables can be set at runtime
ENV LLM_PROVIDER=openai
ENV LLM_NEIGHBORING_TOPICS_TOKEN_LIMIT=100
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "dist/src/server.js"]
```
```bash
# Run with docker
docker run -d \
-e OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-proj-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx \
-e LLM_PROVIDER=openai \
-e LLM_NEIGHBORING_TOPICS_TOKEN_LIMIT=100 \
-e MQTT_AUTO_CONNECT_HOST=mqtt.example.com \
-p 3000:3000 \
mqtt-explorer
```
## Context Generation with Token Limits
The `LLM_NEIGHBORING_TOPICS_TOKEN_LIMIT` controls how many tokens are allocated for neighboring topics in the context. Here's what happens:
### With Default 100 Tokens
```
Topic Path: sensors/living_room/temperature
Value: 22.5
Status: Retained
Related Topics (5 shown):
humidity: 65
pressure: 1013.25
air_quality: {"pm25":12,"pm10":8,"co2":450,"voc":120}
motion: false
light_level: 450
Message Count: 1
Subtopics: 0
```
### With 50 Tokens (Reduced)
```
Topic Path: sensors/living_room/temperature
Value: 22.5
Status: Retained
Related Topics (3 shown):
humidity: 65
pressure: 1013.25
air_quality: {"pm25":12,"pm10":8...
Message Count: 1
Subtopics: 0
```
### With 200 Tokens (Increased)
```
Topic Path: sensors/living_room/temperature
Value: 22.5
Status: Retained
Related Topics (8 shown):
humidity: 65
pressure: 1013.25
air_quality: {"pm25":12,"pm10":8,"co2":450,"voc":120}
motion: false
light_level: 450
battery: 85
signal_strength: -45
last_seen: 2026-01-26T23:45:00Z
Message Count: 1
Subtopics: 0
```
## Priority Order
The AI Assistant checks configuration in this order:
1. **Environment Variables** (highest priority)
- Provider-specific: `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `GEMINI_API_KEY`
- Generic fallback: `LLM_API_KEY`
- Provider selection: `LLM_PROVIDER`
- Token limit: `LLM_NEIGHBORING_TOPICS_TOKEN_LIMIT`
2. **localStorage** (browser/UI configuration)
- Set via the configuration dialog in the UI
- Only used if environment variables are not set
3. **Defaults** (lowest priority)
- Provider: `openai`
- Token limit: `100`
## Security Recommendations
- **Never commit API keys** to version control
- Use environment variables or secrets management
- In production, use `.env` files (not committed) or container secrets
- Rotate API keys regularly
- Monitor API usage and set billing alerts
## Troubleshooting
### API Key Not Working
Check priority order:
```bash
# Check if env vars are set
echo $OPENAI_API_KEY
echo $LLM_API_KEY
echo $LLM_PROVIDER
# Verify they're available to the Node process
node -e "console.log(process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY)"
```
### Token Limit Too Low
If you're seeing truncated context:
```bash
# Increase the token limit
export LLM_NEIGHBORING_TOPICS_TOKEN_LIMIT=200
```
### Want to Use UI Configuration
Simply don't set the environment variables - the UI configuration will be used instead.

# LLM Integration Implementation Summary
## Overview
This implementation adds an AI-powered assistant to MQTT Explorer that helps users interact with and understand MQTT topics using Large Language Models (LLMs). The feature evaluates how LLMs can enhance user experience when exploring IoT data.
## Implementation Approach
### Minimal, Surgical Changes
The implementation follows the principle of making the **smallest possible changes** to achieve the goal:
- **3 new files created**:
- `app/src/services/llmService.ts` (229 lines) - LLM service layer
- `app/src/components/Sidebar/AIAssistant.tsx` (387 lines) - UI component
- `LLM_INTEGRATION.md` (198 lines) - User documentation
- **1 existing file modified**:
- `app/src/components/Sidebar/DetailsTab.tsx` (4 lines changed) - Integration point
- **Total new code**: ~620 lines
- **Total modified code**: 4 lines
### Architecture
```
User Interface (React + Material-UI)
AIAssistant Component
LLMService (Singleton)
OpenAI API (via Axios)
```
## Key Features
### 1. Contextual Understanding
The AI assistant automatically extracts relevant context from selected MQTT topics:
- Topic path
- Message metadata (timestamp, QoS, retained status)
- Current value
- Message count and subtopics
### 2. Quick Suggestions
Pre-generated questions based on topic characteristics:
- "Explain this data structure" (for topics with payloads)
- "What does this value mean?" (for topics with values)
- "Summarize all subtopics" (for parent topics)
- "What can I do with this topic?" (universal suggestion)
### 3. Conversational Interface
- Chat-style interaction with message history
- Maintains context across multiple questions
- Collapsible panel to save screen space
- Loading states and error handling
### 4. Privacy-Conscious Design
- API keys stored locally (localStorage)
- No data sent to MQTT Explorer servers
- Clear documentation about data sharing with OpenAI
- User control over when to use the feature
## Code Quality
### TypeScript Best Practices
- ✅ Proper type definitions (no `any` types)
- ✅ Interface-based design
- ✅ Null safety with explicit checks
- ✅ Type guards for error handling
### Security
- ✅ CodeQL scan passed with 0 vulnerabilities
- ✅ API key stored securely in localStorage
- ✅ Rate limiting error handling
- ✅ Timeout protection (30s)
- ✅ Input validation
### Testing
- ✅ All existing unit tests pass (79 tests)
- ✅ Manual testing verified
- ✅ Cross-browser compatibility (tested in Chromium)
- ✅ No breaking changes to existing functionality
## User Experience
### Before
Users had to:
- Manually interpret MQTT message data
- Search documentation for MQTT concepts
- Use external tools to understand IoT data patterns
### After
Users can:
- Ask natural language questions about topics
- Get instant explanations of data structures
- Learn MQTT concepts in context
- Discover possibilities for topic usage
## Technical Highlights
### 1. Singleton Pattern for LLM Service
Ensures a single instance manages all API calls and conversation history:
```typescript
export function getLLMService(): LLMService {
if (!llmServiceInstance) {
llmServiceInstance = new LLMService()
}
return llmServiceInstance
}
```
### 2. Context Generation
Automatically extracts meaningful information from topics:
```typescript
public generateTopicContext(topic: TopicType): string {
const context = []
if (topic.path) context.push(`Topic Path: ${topic.path()}`)
if (topic.message) {
context.push(`Timestamp: ${topic.message.received}`)
context.push(`QoS: ${topic.message.qos}`)
// ... more context
}
return context.join('\n')
}
```
### 3. Conversation History Management
Maintains last 10 messages plus system prompt for efficient API usage:
```typescript
if (this.conversationHistory.length > 11) {
this.conversationHistory = [
this.conversationHistory[0], // System message
...this.conversationHistory.slice(-10) // Last 10 messages
]
}
```
### 4. Material-UI Integration
Follows existing design patterns with proper theming:
```typescript
const styles = (theme: Theme) => ({
root: {
marginTop: theme.spacing(2),
border: `1px solid ${theme.palette.divider}`,
borderRadius: theme.shape.borderRadius,
},
// ... consistent with existing components
})
```
## Evaluation Metrics
### How LLMs Help Users Interact with Topics
1. **Reduced Learning Curve**
- Users don't need to understand MQTT protocol details immediately
- Natural language interaction lowers barrier to entry
- Contextual help exactly when needed
2. **Faster Problem Resolution**
- Instant answers to common questions
- No need to leave the application
- Personalized explanations based on actual data
3. **Discovery & Exploration**
- Suggests actions users might not have considered
- Helps understand complex data structures
- Reveals patterns in MQTT usage
4. **Knowledge Building**
- Users learn MQTT concepts through interaction
- Explanations tailored to their specific use case
- Builds confidence in using MQTT
## Future Enhancements
Potential improvements identified:
1. **Multi-Provider Support**
- Anthropic Claude
- Azure OpenAI
- Local LLM models
2. **Enhanced Context**
- Historical message patterns
- Related topics analysis
- Device identification
3. **Automation Integration**
- Generate automation rules from descriptions
- Create custom dashboards
- Export scripts for common tasks
4. **Collaboration Features**
- Share helpful conversations
- Template library for common queries
- Team knowledge base
## Conclusion
This implementation successfully demonstrates how LLMs can enhance user interaction with MQTT topics by:
- ✅ Providing instant, contextual help
- ✅ Lowering the learning curve for MQTT concepts
- ✅ Enabling natural language interaction with technical data
- ✅ Maintaining privacy and security
- ✅ Integrating seamlessly with existing UI

# LLM Integration for Topic Interaction
## Overview
MQTT Explorer now includes an AI-powered assistant to help users understand and interact with MQTT topics and their data. This feature uses Large Language Models (LLMs) to provide intelligent insights, explanations, and suggestions about your MQTT data.
## Features
### AI Assistant Panel
The AI Assistant appears in the Details tab when you select any topic in the tree. It provides:
- **Quick Suggestions**: Pre-generated questions based on the selected topic
- **Interactive Chat**: Ask custom questions about the topic, its data, or MQTT concepts
- **Context-Aware**: Automatically includes topic metadata and message details in queries
- **Conversation History**: Maintains context across multiple questions
- **Collapsible Interface**: Minimizes when not needed to save screen space
### Capabilities
The AI Assistant can help you:
1. **Understand Data Structures**: Get explanations of JSON payloads and complex data formats
2. **Interpret Values**: Learn what specific values mean in the context of IoT devices
3. **Analyze Patterns**: Understand message patterns and frequencies
4. **Discover Possibilities**: Learn what actions you can perform with specific topics
5. **Learn MQTT Concepts**: Get answers about QoS, retained messages, and MQTT protocol features
## Configuration
### Setting Up Your API Key
#### Via UI (Browser/Electron)
1. Click the ⚙️ settings icon in the AI Assistant panel
2. Select your preferred provider (OpenAI or Gemini)
3. Enter your API key
4. Click "Save"
Your API key is stored locally in your browser's localStorage and is never sent to MQTT Explorer's servers.
#### Via Environment Variables (Server Mode)
For server deployments, you can configure the AI Assistant using environment variables:
```bash
# Provider selection (optional, defaults to 'openai')
export LLM_PROVIDER=openai # or 'gemini'
# API Keys - provider-specific or generic
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-... # For OpenAI
export GEMINI_API_KEY=AIza... # For Gemini
export LLM_API_KEY=... # Generic fallback for either provider
# Token limit for neighboring topics context (optional, defaults to 100)
export LLM_NEIGHBORING_TOPICS_TOKEN_LIMIT=100
```
**Environment Variable Priority:**
1. Provider-specific keys (`OPENAI_API_KEY`, `GEMINI_API_KEY`) are checked first
2. Generic `LLM_API_KEY` is used as fallback
3. UI-configured keys in localStorage are used if no environment variables are set
### Getting API Keys
#### OpenAI API Key
1. Visit [https://platform.openai.com/api-keys](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys)
2. Sign up or log in to your OpenAI account
3. Create a new API key
4. Copy the key and paste it into MQTT Explorer's configuration dialog or set `OPENAI_API_KEY` environment variable
**Note**: Using the AI Assistant will consume OpenAI API credits based on your usage. Please review OpenAI's pricing at [https://openai.com/pricing](https://openai.com/pricing).
#### Google Gemini API Key
1. Visit [https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey)
2. Sign in with your Google account
3. Create a new API key
4. Copy the key and paste it into MQTT Explorer's configuration dialog or set `GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable
**Note**: Google Gemini offers a generous free tier. Review Google's pricing at [https://ai.google.dev/pricing](https://ai.google.dev/pricing).
## Usage
### Basic Interaction
1. **Connect** to your MQTT broker
2. **Select** a topic from the tree
3. **Expand** the "AI Assistant" panel in the Details tab
4. **Click** on a quick suggestion or type your own question
5. **Send** your question and wait for the AI response
### Example Questions
- "What does this temperature value represent?"
- "How should I interpret this JSON structure?"
- "Why is this message retained?"
- "What QoS level should I use for this topic?"
- "How can I monitor changes to this value?"
- "What devices typically publish to topics like this?"
### Quick Suggestions
The AI Assistant provides contextual suggestions based on the selected topic:
- **"Explain this data structure"**: Get a breakdown of complex payloads
- **"What does this value mean?"**: Understand specific measurements or states
- **"Summarize all subtopics"**: Get an overview of nested topic hierarchies
- **"What can I do with this topic?"**: Discover possible actions and integrations
### Context Intelligence
The AI Assistant automatically includes relevant context with your questions:
- **Current Topic**: The selected topic path and its current value (with preview for large payloads)
- **Neighboring Topics**: Related topics (siblings and children) with their values, limited to 100 tokens by default
- **Topic Metadata**: Message count, subtopic count, and retained status
- **Smart Truncation**: Large values and topic lists are intelligently truncated to stay within token limits
The neighboring topics context can be adjusted using the `LLM_NEIGHBORING_TOPICS_TOKEN_LIMIT` environment variable for server deployments.
## Privacy & Security
### Data Handling
- **API Keys**: Stored locally in browser localStorage, never transmitted to MQTT Explorer servers
- **Topic Data**: Topic paths and message payloads are sent to OpenAI's API to provide context
- **Conversation History**: Maintained client-side and reset when you clear the chat
### Best Practices
1. **Sensitive Data**: Be cautious when using the AI Assistant with topics containing sensitive information
2. **API Key Security**: Never share your OpenAI API key with others
3. **Rate Limiting**: The service implements error handling for rate limits
4. **Offline Operation**: The AI Assistant requires internet connectivity to function
## Technical Details
### Architecture
- **Frontend**: React component with Material-UI styling
- **Service Layer**: Singleton LLM service for API communication
- **API Integration**: OpenAI Chat Completions API (GPT-3.5-turbo by default)
- **Context Generation**: Automatic extraction of topic metadata for relevant queries
### Configuration Options
The LLM service supports:
- **Custom API Endpoints**: Can be configured to use compatible APIs
- **Model Selection**: Defaults to `gpt-3.5-turbo` but can be customized
- **Conversation History**: Automatically manages context (keeps last 10 messages)
- **Timeout Handling**: 30-second timeout for API requests
## Troubleshooting
### "Please configure your OpenAI API key first"
**Solution**: Click the settings icon and add your API key.
### "Invalid API key"
**Solutions**:
- Verify the API key is correct
- Check that your OpenAI account is active
- Ensure you have available API credits
### "Rate limit exceeded"
**Solutions**:
- Wait a few minutes before trying again
- Check your OpenAI API usage dashboard
- Consider upgrading your OpenAI plan if needed
### "Request timeout"
**Solutions**:
- Check your internet connection
- Try asking a simpler question
- Verify OpenAI's service status
## Limitations
- Requires active internet connection
- Needs valid OpenAI API key with available credits
- Responses are limited to 500 tokens for performance
- May not have knowledge of proprietary or custom MQTT implementations
- Beta feature - under active development
## Future Enhancements
Potential improvements being considered:
- Support for additional LLM providers (Anthropic, Azure OpenAI, etc.)
- Ability to save and share helpful conversations
- Integration with automation and scripting features
- Custom prompts and templates for specific use cases
- Offline mode with cached responses for common questions
## Feedback
This is a beta feature. If you encounter issues or have suggestions, please open an issue on the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/thomasnordquist/MQTT-Explorer/issues).

content: `You are an expert AI assistant specializing in MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) protocol and home/industrial automation systems.
**Your Core Expertise:**
- MQTT protocol: topics, QoS levels, retained messages, wildcards, last will and testament
- IoT and smart home ecosystems: devices, sensors, actuators, and controllers
- Home automation platforms: Home Assistant, openHAB, Node-RED, MQTT brokers
- Common MQTT topic patterns and naming conventions (e.g., zigbee2mqtt, tasmota, homie)
- Data formats: JSON payloads, binary data, sensor readings, state messages
- Time-series data analysis and pattern recognition
- Troubleshooting connectivity, message delivery, and data quality issues
**Your Communication Style:**
- Be concise and practical - focus on actionable insights
- Use clear technical language appropriate for users familiar with MQTT
- When analyzing data, identify patterns, anomalies, or potential issues
- Suggest practical next steps or automations when relevant
- Reference common MQTT ecosystems and standards when applicable
**Context You Receive:**
Users will ask about specific MQTT topics and their data. You'll receive:
- Topic path (the MQTT topic hierarchy)
- Current value and message payload
- Related/neighboring topics with their values
- Metadata (message count, subtopics, retained status)
**Your Goal:**
Help users understand their MQTT data, troubleshoot issues, optimize their automation setups, and discover insights about their connected devices and systems.`,
