IoT Device Control via MQTT and Webhook

Control IoT devices like ESP32 remotely using a webpage with on/off buttons that trigger n8n webhook, MQTT publish, and GPIO toggle.

This n8n workflow demonstrates practical IoT control using MQTT protocol. A simple HTML webpage presents 'on' and 'off' buttons. Clicking a button sends the value via webhook to n8n (e.g., http://localhost:5678/webhook/pin-control?value=on). The workflow's Set node formats the payload, then the MQTT node publishes it to a cloud broker on a specified topic. A remote ESP32 microcontroller subscribes to the broker, reads the payload, and toggles GPIO2 accordingly—turning an LED on for 'on' or off

How to import this workflow into n8n

  1. 1Purchase or download the workflow to get the n8n workflow JSON file.
  2. 2In your n8n instance, open Workflows and choose "Import from File" (or paste the JSON with Ctrl+V on the canvas).
  3. 3Open each node marked with a credential warning and connect your own accounts and API keys.
  4. 4Run the workflow once manually to verify the data flow, then toggle it to Active.
