MQTT Error COMMUNICATION_ERROR

[ManuAng (Manuel)]

Hey there, sorry for my bad English.
I have a problem with MQTT.
I had the same Problem already with obenhab 2 and now with openHAB 3.
I installed openHAB 3 on my Raspberry PI 4 an added an Broker.
all worked fine but after a time might a restart the broker wont work.

COMMUNICATION_ERROR
CONNECT failed as CONNACK contained an Error Code: NOT_AUTHORIZED.

I would be very happy if someone could help me.

Thank you

• Are you using openhabian?
• What is your MQTT Broker? Mosquitto? Have you confirmed that your broker has actually started? What is your broker configuration? Does it have a username and password?
• What is your openHAB MQTT configuration?

When sharing code or configuration make sure to use code fences.

Traffic and requests from local network via ethernet are not taken into account as it is not listening on the ethernet internface.

Check e.g. this thread:

Updating Mosquitto MQTT from 1.x to v2.0+

As part of my setup, I have a Mosquitto MQTT broker running in a Docker container. This has been an excellent setup, but a couple of days ago, it failed completely - turns out the image tag ‘latest’ had switched to 2.0.9 from 1.6.x, and there were some breaking changes! The fix was relatively simple in the end, but took me a while to figure out, so I thought I’d document it here in case anyone else faces the same. Important note - I don’t have any type of authentication in my MQTT network - th…

[Wolfgang_S]

@daniele_guidi

What does that mean ?
I understand that it does not work but does also the netstat command deliver the same result or a different one ? In case it is different how does it look now ?
