@ptmuldoon

shouldn’t I see something in the logs

Yes, something like:

2017-11-06 10:37:33.627 [INFO ] [penhab.io.transport.mqtt.MqttService] - MQTT Service initialization completed.
2017-11-06 10:37:33.636 [INFO ] [t.mqtt.internal.MqttBrokerConnection] - Starting MQTT broker connection 'mosquitto'

MQTT not talking to OH2

There are stale entries stored in your /var/lib/openhab2/config/org/openhab/mqtt.config coming from previous trials. Currently, you are initiating 2 parallel connections from your OH2.1 installation to the broker. This will create a conflict. Follow these steps to troubleshoot: stop OH2 service (systemctl stop openhab2) delete file /var/lib/openhab2/config/org/openhab/mqtt.config Fix your /etc/openhab2/services/mqtt.cfg broker.url=tcp://192.168.1.44:1883 broker.clientId=oh2 Update your …

or

MQTT: Error starting broker connection (Not authorized to connect)

Do you have the MQTT Action addon installed? If yes, uninstall it to see if this helps Can you post the output of the following openHAB console commands: bundle:list -s |grep -i mqtt config:list "(service.pid=org.openhab.mqtt)" The broker connection messages should come from org.openhab.io.transport.mqtt. Did you enable DEBUG on this also?
