#2 MQTT not working

L.W. — Sat, 29 Jan 2022 17:41:55 -0000

MQTT is working fine (with 4.0): I can see all thermostats with MQTT-Explorer. I also managed to include the themostats as climate entities into Home Assistant. I guess you can close the ticket. Thanks for your help!

max_home_automation is now running headless on a Raspi2 with xvfb and x11vnc. I'll try to update to 4.1. soon. Next step is to control the thermostats with HA automations...

#2 MQTT not working

When nothing changes then nothing gets published. You can change, for example, the thermostat's mode from automatic to manual. And see the change. As a rule a radiator thermostats never sends the actual temperature unless the valve position is changed. So there is little to publish.

BTW, MQTT Explorer is much more comfortable to use than mosquitto. You can browse the available topics interactively etc.

If you enable MQTT tracing you will see full exchange with the client in the trace. Trace into a file, it is easier to analyze then.

It's not a matter of publishing to topics. Currently I'm just trying to subscribe to a (themostat) topic to see its status data. And no matter what topic I'm trying mosquitto_sub just stays quiet. Is there a specific topic that should publish a message within let's say every 2-3 min?

If you want to publish on the server you must enable MQTT publishing on the settings tab. You can furthermore specify the list of topics allowed for external publishing.
Regarding wildcard topic subscriptions, that is a bug fixed in the incoming version 4.1.

Hi Dmitry,

Originally looking for a MQTT to eQ3 bridge I came across your wonderful peace of software. Finally I can rid of the original, buggy and no longer maintained software from eQ3 and switch all configuration tasks to Linux!

I just installed v4.0 on a Raspberry Pi running Debian Bullseye for testing. I can connect to my cube and list all devices and modify their settings. However the build in MQTT server doesn't seem to publish any data. I can subscribe to the wildcard topic '#', but don't see any status data. I also tried using the cube address as prefix '180BCC/#' or specific topics listed in the documentation, to no avail. Looking a the trace tab I noticed the repeating error message "Processing sent notification fault: raised CONSTRAINT_ERROR : object-handle-generic_set.adb:309 explicit raise" as soon as I connect to port 1883 with "mosquitto_sub -t '#' -v". Am I doing something wrong?

Regards
Lars
