LOG INFO: Try to restore connection to IP & Starting MQTT broker connection every 60 seconds in LOG

Setup, Configuration and Use Installation

I had the same issue but I’ve solved it.

The problem was from the fact that I created the bridge in the graphical interface and the things in the configuration file (".things"). Which resulted in double upset of the bridge. So I deleted the bridge in the GUI and added the bridge’s parameters in the configuration file.

Bridge mqtt:broker:1111111 “MQTT_bridge” [ host=“192.168.1.72”, port=“1883”, secure=“false”, username=“user”, password=“secret”, qos=“2”, lastwill_qos=“2”, keep_alive_time=“10000” ]

I solved this issue on an upgraded OH3 installation with a method that was not mentioned above. There were two broker connections. One as a thing/bridge, and the other as a non-removable system connection under settings. The latter was making the errors, and I disabled it by setting Broker Host to blank, instead of 127.0.0.1.

Specifically: OH3 GUI => Settings => Other Services => MQTT system broker connection => clear the field Broker Host and Save.

I was having a similar problem. I noticed these lines spamming my log file…

Took me ages to work it out… in the end I did a recursive search for the IP address in the OpenHAB root folder. Turns out one of my Roombas hadn’t docked properly and was offline! :rofl:
