With mqtt_websockets_ssl = 1 in the [[[Extras]]] of [[Belchertown]] in
weewx.conf, I get 'Failed connecting to the weather station' from the
browser using https.
I can see the belchertown.js has updated as you pointed out, so now it's:
belchertown_debug("MQTT: Connecting to MQTT Websockets:
mqtt.dreamwoodestate.net 9011 (SSL Enabled)");
var useSSL = true;
client = new Paho.Client("mqtt.dreamwoodestate.net", 9011,
mqttclient);
BTW, ChatGPT told me last week that I should add a "/" in between the 9011
and mqttclient in the client = line.
I removed that "/" earlier tonight thinking the advice was wrong - but it
dowsn't seem to improve the situation either way.
Right now the browser shows this error from F12:
paho-mqtt.min.js:37 WebSocket connection to
'wss://mqtt.dreamwoodestate.net:9011/mqtt' failed:
d._doConnect @ paho-mqtt.min.js:37
