Thanks for making this. Just tried this tonight but application won't start.

• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get upgrade
• sudo apt-get install python3-pip build-essential libglib2.0-dev libyaml-dev (All OK)
• sudo pip3 install --upgrade plantgateway

What does that error mean? Do you need http:// for MQTT address or just IP?

Seems the port is not optional as stated in the yaml file instructions?

port of the mqtt server, optional if using 8883

Removed the # and put port 1883 and it works.
