[BUG]

[ivandompe]

Hello,

I just received my BSB-LAN adapter and try to set-it up... Everything looks fine but not my MQTT config. From the Broker nothing is structured in terms of topics... I tried all the mqtt-mode (1-2-3).. but still the same. Here below my conf.

BSB-LAN Version 2.1.0-20211231181308

Architecture ESP32 NodeMCU

Bus system BSB

Describe the bug Incorrect (unexpected) hierarchy applied on the MQTT Broker side?

define MQTT

byte mqtt_mode = 1; I TRIED 2 & 3 option. byte mqtt_broker_ip_addr[4] = {192,168,0,201}; char MQTTUsername[32] = "mqtt@user";
char MQTTPassword[32] = "mqtt@pwd";
char MQTTTopicPrefix[32] = "BSB-LAN";
char MQTTDeviceID[32] = "BSB-LAN";

Expected behavior All parameters from BSB must be displayed as topics.

Screenshots Hierarchy from BSB-LAN:

Hierarchy from others clients:

As you can see, instead of having "BSB-LAN" as prefix, I have $SYS... and no devices.. and parameters as topics. Strange. Maybe I missed something?

THX for your help.

Ivan

@Luposoft63 and @dukess, do you have any idea what could have gone wrong? @ivandompe, could you also please attach your BSB-LAN_config.h for us to check?

$SYS is used for system information.

I never used mqtt so these ideas can looks naive: root topic BSB-LAN should be created on mqtt broker side? Firewall? Try to run wireshark/tcpdump for monitoring network connections

Hi,

Herewith attache the config.h file.

@dukess , no the topics are written by the client. That is strange because even the MQTT DEVICE prefix is not taken in account. I have another project running on another ESP32, using the same PubSubClient.h library, and works perfect. I tried to flash again the ESP, reboot it, test several configs.. nothing better.

Meanwhile, as I also have Home Assitant installed on a server, I saw that there is an integration for BSB-LAN.. nice. So I installed this https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/bsblan, and after setting the requiered parameters, I have a successful registration in HA, but I don't see any device... nothing. mmmmh

Maybe it has nothing to do with my MQTT issue? Don't know.

I didn't tried yet some http GET/POST request with Postman... maybe here also I'll have issue. Have to test. I maybe have a general issue, or I made a bad mistake on the config file?

Thx for your support. Ivan

About Home Assistant: right now HA have integration with BSB-LAN 1.xx not 2.xx. Config file looks nice for first sight.

Hi, first of all, please read the manual, especially the chapters configuration and MQTT.

2nd: I don't know if you changed anything within the webconfig (you could send the output from url/CO so we could check), but at least within the config.h you have the loginterval set to default = 3600, which means that the parameters will be sent once in an HOUR (3600 seconds = 60 minutes). So you maybe want to change that, to have the values coming in more often, which would make it easier for you to check if it works or not.

3rd: About your HA integration:

Meanwhile, as I also have Home Assitant installed on a server, I saw that there is an integration for BSB-LAN.. nice. So I installed this https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/bsblan, and after setting the requiered parameters, I have a successful registration in HA, but I don't see any device... nothing. mmmmh

In the chapter about the HA integration of the manual, you see the note about the HA integration and the software version. The HA integration does not work with BSB-LAN version 2.x. If you scroll down a bit, you see the example from user "tiger42" - there he explained how to integrate BSB-LAN into HA using MQTT sensor.

Hi again,

I'm so confused, it was my bad. But I read the manual, and I thought that I made everything correct. Don't laughing please, the non-error was due to the 3600s = 1 hour updating.... grrrrrr! I didn't understood that these logging params will affect the MQTT ones. And I was confused because on the Broker side I was able to see status topic and only $SYS with no device/param topics. Thus I was focused on that.

Thanks all of you for your great support. You can close this ticket, apologies.

No problem, glad your problem was solved ;) This is in fact a pretty common problem and that's also the reason I wrote to please read the manual first, because everything is mentioned there. But I can understand that in the 'heat of the project' some informations get lost during reading. So, have fun using BSB-LAN!
