MQTT wont connect #17

Closed mach7 closed 2 years ago

mach7 commented 4 years ago

I've placed my mqtt information into the config page and double checked everything, all my information is correct. Same information that I use to connect other mqtt clients. But for some reason I can not get the /status page to change to connected. I'm trying to dig into this further by looking for some sort of a error log so I know what it is doing after I flash and restart for mqtt. Is there such a log?

it may be a bug Mine does connect it just don't reflect it in the webpage

I just started using this and never could get MQTT to connect either. There was no network traffic at all to the MQTT server. I finally remembered I had it in static IP mode and went back to DHCP. It worked fine in DHCP mode, but will not work at all if you have a static IP on the switch.

ljalves commented 2 years ago

If the device is setup with a static IP, MQTT doesn't connect??

ghost commented 2 years ago

That is correct. I never could get any of the plugs/switches to work in static IP mode. I could access the switch directly from the MQTT server so it did have good connectivity, and the web page and so forth worked. I just ended up assigning an IP from my router but it was really confusing at first. Thanks for publishing this awesome software though, it works great otherwise!

Please try with latest fw: https://github.com/ljalves/hfeasy/releases/tag/0v8 I think the issue was related to the DNS server (that you were not setting when using static ip, right?)

Anyway, it should work now.

ljalves commented 2 years ago

Whenever you can, please confirm if this is fixed on the latest release.

Thanks for working on this and especially a huge thanks for adding LWT. I had kind of hacked that in to my builds, it's a very nice feature! Unfortunately I still can't get it to connect to the MQTT server. I did actually have a DNS server in there as it required one. I can go to the web pages directly from the MQTT server so it should be able to connect OK. I just don't see any MQTT traffic at all. I'm confused why it would not work but the HTTP does.

Just thought I would add the MQTT light just flashes in a slow on/off pattern.

Just an FYI with the new release. I put the wall switch back on DHCP and was just changing the MQTT topics to get it working better. When I hit apply, it took it a very long time, then just returned 404 errors, even on iweb.html. I power cycled it but it seems totally dead now. Fortunately, I do already have serial port hookups soldered in so can recover it easier.

My apologies for writing too soon, I was able to get it back using power button to go in recovery mode. It's all fine again now! :) :) :)
