How can I use mqtt to connect hono to ditto?

Question

Is it possible to use mqtt to send data from a device (arduino in my case) to hono and then send these data to ditto via mqtt? in my case I have arduino that send a value via mqtt to hono, but now i need the data to be received by ditto.

For the moment i have only arduino that sends data to hono via mqtt.

You can just subscribe to MQTT broker with that specific topic on ditto — McLovin, Nov 09 '22 at 18:09

Eclipse Ditto can either consume messages directly from an MQTT broker using MQTT 3.1.1 or MQTT 5:

Or, utilising Eclipse Hono as device connectivity layer, consume messages via Apache Kafka or AMQP 1.0 (which Hono uses for "northbound" applications ingesting telemetry data). If you need Eclipse Hono, I suggest to have a look at the "Cloud 2 Edge" package in the Eclipse IoT Packages project which already automatically sets up and configures both Eclipse Hono and Eclipse Ditto to work with each other:

https://www.eclipse.org/packages/packages/cloud2edge/

If you only need to send data via MQTT, I would suggest to use an MQTT broker (like Eclipse Mosquitto) as this simplifies the setup a lot.
If you have requirements towards supporting multiple IoT protocols or massive scalability requirements, Eclipse Hono is a good choice.

If I use just an MQTT broker and Ditto is it possible to do operation of Command and Control? I mean the digital twin interacts with the physical device. — Lucio Squitieri, Nov 11 '22 at 09:41
another question, is it possible to receive data on ditto via mqtt and send this data via kafka to influxdb? — Lucio Squitieri, Nov 17 '22 at 11:12
