No communication with mqtt server

[nkrepo]

I have a working mosquitto server at IP 192.168.0.33:1883

I tested nibe-mqtt 0.4.0 with docker image and also directly by installing the python package. Unfortunately it seems that nibe-mqtt does try to connect to mqtt server.

Here is my test config

logging:

It connects with SMOS40 and pulls the registers

But it does not publish them to mqtt, I verified that with mqtt-explorer. I tried putting invalid IP , wrong password e.t.c in the mqtt configuration , nibe-mqtt started without any error.

MQTT settings are wrong. It can start without MQTT, it is by design. If it will manage to connect in future then it will start publishing.

I found the culprit , I removed the port number :1883 from the host and now connects !

2023-03-08 17:40:05,904 - WARNING  - Thread-1 (_thread_main) - nibe.nibe_mqtt.mqtt - MQTT connected

The server is running at 1883 port , so something definitely goes wrong there.

[yozik04]

Host and port are separate configuration fields.

Host and port are separate configuration fields.

ohh my fault sorry :(.

[yozik04]

No problem:)

It would be nice to add it in the example to avoid confusion. I opened config.py but I overlooked that.
