I am creating a live dashboard for race data where timings and other information will be published by multiple clients on a per lap basis. I am using Mosquitto as my broker. Guided by this solution I am able to subscribe to the different topics amd see the published results.

on_message received from lap_data QOS:0 retain:False - `{"LapCompleted": 32 ... }` 
on_message received from weather_data QOS:0 retain:False - `{ "RelativeHumidity":0.449}

I have completed the channels chat tutorial and have Redis running on WSL.

Now, I would like to:

1. add the received messages to the database
2. update the view when a message is recieved.

I hoped to me able to add records via the on_message_callback but when I try to import the models into my MQTTClient.py file I get the following error:

raise AppRegistryNotReady("Apps aren't loaded yet.")
django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet.

If anyone was able to point me in the right directions for 1 & 2 I would be grateful.

Thank you.
MQTT is started via the app ready function

def ready(self):
    if os.environ.get('RUN_MAIN'):
        mqtt_client = MqttRemote()
        mqtt_client.start()
