Is there a way to use multiple feeds with Adafruit MQTT python client subscriptions?

I'm using Adafruit IO MQTT python client to execute code based upon feeds. I want one feed to execute one function and a different to execute another. I've looked at this and searched around but nothing I have found shows how to subscribe to multiple feeds.

You can simply call subscribe multiple times, as in:

subscribe

for feed_id in ['feed1', 'feed2']:
client.subscribe(feed_id)


This is a basic feature of the MQTT protocol. Your on_message_ handler will receive the feed id as a parameter.

on_message_

on_message_

You have to build that yourself

Just add an if statement to the on_message callback to pick a different function based on the topic (feed_id) e.g.

on_message

def message(client, feed_id, payload, retain):
if feed_id == 'foo/bar':
#call foo function
foo(paylaod)
elif feed_id == 'bar/foo':
#call bar function
bar(payload)
