Apart from two or three stumbling blocks, the setup was very simple and Mbusino reports to the MQTT server. I'll have to make sure that I connect the mBus master in the next few days and read out real values.
I have noticed several things:
I entered the wrong MQTT password during AP setup. I then wanted to change it. I read the IP of the board from the router and accessed it in the browser. I entered the MQTT data correctly. I did not enter anything for WiFi as I did not want to make any changes here. However, this resulted in the board being kicked out of my WiFi and after a short time the AP was unblocked. I suspect that the SSID and WiFi PW were overwritten with empty characters.
a little hint that you should only enter the IP (without https) for the mqtt server would be helpful.
my FritzBox shows the board as "ESP-6752EB" and not as the entered name "Mbusino". With other D1 mini boards the naming works.
Yes the Portal is very simple. You have to fill out everything or the variables will be overwrite. I have to declare this at the Portal.
An IP is without http. By the way, http is not our protocol here, mqtt is the protocol. But you can use a address too, like test.mosquitto.org
The full address is MQTT://test.mosquitoo.org:1883 but you need only the short version.
Ok, i figure out how I can set the client name and bring it to the next version. In the old version without AP the client name was shown in my Fritzbox but now, I have the same problem.
