Getting null door lock status, Mqtt verified as working

[Kstack (Kevin Stack)]

• Platform information:

  • Raspberry pi B+
  • OS: _Openhab 2.2.0-1
    Release = Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)
    Kernel = Linux 4.9.35+

• The status of my door lock used to display on both the web UI and the Android mobile app UI. This is no longer the case, and the status of Locked vs. Unlocked is null. I’ve tested mosquitto and it works just fine. I’ve updated and upgraded and rebooted.
  The GO button for garage no longer sends the signal to the relay, but I can manually publish a topic that will make it work.
  Android notification also stopped working.
  Dimmer lights still work

• [21:37:50] openhabian@openHABianPi:/$ mosquitto_sub -v -t Garage/Locked
  Garage/Locked LOCKED
  Garage/Locked UNLOCKED
  This shows that mqtt is working properly with the pi

//This is the rules file

//Garage door is up notification

when
        Item GarageStatus changed from OPENING to UP
then
        sendBroadcastNotification("Garage Door Is Up")
end

How does your mqtt.cfg looks like? And a log from openhab starting could also be helpfull.

I forgot to mention that I started having this problem shortly after installing a new wireless router. As far as I know the settings are the same.

As far as you know, they could have changed too!!
Check the connected devices in your router settings and check the assigned IPs

Also what should my router settings be for openhab2

View of Basic UI with Notes

The items you say which are not working work with my mqtt.
I added some whitespaces!

String SideDoorBolt "Side Door is [MAP(de.map):%s]" <door> {mqtt="<[mymosquitto:433MHz:state:MAP(side.map)]" }

My mqtt.cfg contains only:

mymosquitto.url=tcp://localhost:1883
mymosquitto.user=<user>
mymosquitto.pwd=<password>

Often it helps to uninstall and reinstall the binding.

So what does the log say when restarting openhab? Everything related to mqtt is interresting.

MQTT inbound

please set the log level of the mqtt to trace! add this to your org.ops4j.pax.logging.cfg in /var/lib/openhab2/etc log4j2.logger.mqtt1.name = org.openhab.binding.mqtt log4j2.logger.mqtt1.level = TRACE log4j2.logger.mqtt2.name = org.openhab.io.transport.mqtt log4j2.logger.mqtt2.level = TRACE or use Karaf console https://docs.openhab.org/administration/logging.html1 Did you by any change change the settings in mqtt.cfg without a restart? The new values are only set after restarting.

I ended up getting a larger and faster SD card and starting over from scratch. Everything works properly now. I believe my old card was corrupted. Thanks everyone for your input.
