It's hard to catch a fly... as somehow not simple to deal with Mosquitto
(or is it?)
Thank Pat for howto to install own MQTT own server, but still defies me...
everything seems correct, but no way yet to connect (and the usual learning
curve and debugging hours...)
My experience and feedback is DON'T start with MQTT trying to install your
own server at first (as I did), but start with any free public MQTT server,
punch in you config, and connect in a few quick minutes.
First, I tried 'test.mosquitto.org', and it worked out-of-the-box. A few
days ago, my weather web starting having no connection.... more hours
debugging, trying to recollect what I changed what recently changed and
reverse at no prevail.
Later, as last resort, changed to 'broker.hivemq.com', and connect! (not
sure if a problem with 'test.mosquitto.org', or on my side).
My MQTT weewx.conf:
[[MQTT]]
server_url = mqtt://broker.hivemq.com:1883/
topic = weather
unit_system = US
binding = loop
aggregation = aggregate
My Belchertown skin.conf:
# MQTT Websockets defaults
mqtt_websockets_enabled = 1
mqtt_websockets_host = broker.hivemq.com
mqtt_websockets_port = 8000
mqtt_websockets_ssl = 0
mqtt_websockets_topic = weather/loop
disconnect_live_website_visitor = 1800000
Later, if time, may try to play with local MQTT server again.... but just
maybe...
Best,
Xant
