In the past I was using a simple python script to create messages which are sent to random topics with random payload. Especially when I was working on mqtt-panel the script was nice but not very flexible.
mqtt-randompub is the successor of the script mentioned before. Support for configuration files and various options for sending messages are implemented right now. The tool is able to send a single message, a specific count of messages, or generate a constant flow of messages till termination. There are some features I would like to include like random numerical payload, nicer payload formatting, and some other stuff.
