I see I mistyped mosquitto in at least one place above. The /etc/mosquitto directory is spelled correctly in my Ubuntu 20 machine.
Ok, on the pid file. The version of mosquitto in the Ubuntu 20 deb repo still has provision for pid files, so its confusing. It appears that the mosquitto install is properly starting as a daemon (I see it in the process table in TOP) and running without errors in the /var/log/mosquitto/mosquitto.log, so I think I'm ready to move on to configuring MQTTSubscribe. *On Tuesday, May 4, 2021 at 3:52:59 PM UTC-5 [email protected] <https://groups.google.com/> wrote:* *A few additional things to consider.* *From, https://tasmota.github.io/docs/BME280/ <https://tasmota.github.io/docs/BME280/>, your json data is ‘nested’. Meaning the incoming names in MQTTSubscribe will be BME280_Pressure, BME280_Temperature, and BME280_Humidity. * What config file do you enter these incoming names into? *You will want to use the ‘ignore’ option for PressureUnit and TempUnit.* What config file do you put the ignore option into? *Due to the way MQTTSubscribe handles date/time data, the Time field is a bit more interesting. I would also ‘ignore’ it. This just means that MQTTSubscribe will not try to check that the data is in the time interval being processed by WeeWX. * What syntax do you use to tell it to ignore the date/time data? In the same config file as the 2 previous? *Configuring MQTTSubscribe can be a bit daunting, so just shout with any additional questions.* *rich* If there are any example configurations detailed online, that would give me something to copy. Making progress...
