Could not open socket with RM Mini

[areeb111]

Hello, I am using Python 2.7, also set the device_type to 'rm' and using the MAC and hostname lookup.

I have checked the port it's not used

#./mqtt.py
[2017-04-27 18:34:35,601] DEBUG Connected to RM2 Broadlink device at ('192.168.11.203', 80)
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any help please ?

There are two TCP connections and you should separate them:

• first one is connection to Broadlink device. In your case (device_type = 'rm') you should specify parameters in device_host/device_mac parameters
• second one is connection to MQTT broker. mqtt_broker/mqtt_port parameters are used here

I see that connection to Broadlink device was successful but to MQTT broker was not Do you have MQTT broker run in your local network and mqtt_broker points to the host where it is run?
