More info on MQTT connection? #14

Hi, I have made two of these xblinds for my living room and now i;m stuck on the MQTT part... don't seem to understand how it works exactly... i have made a https://node02.myqtthub.com/ account but i can only find Domain, clientID, add device... no "MQTT group" so i don;t know where to subscribe... please help!

Like most people I use a local Mqtt broker but it will work the same, you need to point the xblinds clients to the broker using address and credentials

kp-bit commented 3 years ago

It should actually read topic rather than group, will correct that in next version... So just input server, port and credentials and whatever topic you'd like to use. Default is xblinds/all - as ardenking says, a local broker makes life a lot easier...

I have tried to do that but whenever I enter those details, the d1 stops reacting and after reset it blinks once long and then it shuts down and can't be reached even from local ip...:(
