mqtt.pm gets insufficient data

[linuxha]

My code may have a bit of addition debugging since I am the author of the module and I found the issue.

Here is a sample of the error message from misterhouse

The issue is that the sysread of the MQTT socket returns more than 1 MQTT message. The check for data will need to be rewritten to properly handle this (and probably also other problems such as handle the asyncronous nature of MQTT's other messages).

I am running into this same error and curious about whether you have an unpublished fix or workaround. Thanks!

I don't recall, I haven't used that code since it was last updated. I've switched to Node-Red and MQTT (and various gateway software for things like ZigBee and ZWave). Sorry
