No mqtt subscribe to mosquitto

mymeteora · December 28, 2016, 11:15am

Hi Forum,

I have read the appropriate documentation for days, but there is still no mqtt subscription to mosquitto.
Configuration:
Java: Sun Java 1.8.0

Software: OpenHAB 1.8.3

Addons: org.openhab.action.mqtt-1.8.3.jar org.openhab.binding.mqttitude-1.8.3.jar
org.openhab.persistence.rrd4j-1.8.3.jar
org.openhab.binding.mqtt-1.8.3.jar org.openhab.persistence.mqtt-1.8.3.jar

items:
Number kessel_abgas “temp [%.1f]” {mqtt="<[broker:openhab/house/heizung/ofen/temp/kessel_abgas:state:default]"}

openhab.cfg:
root@speicher42:/opt/openhab/configurations/items# grep mqtt …/openhab.cfg
mqtt-persistence:broker=broker
mqtt-persistence:topic=/house/heizung/broker/temp/kessel_abgas.csv
mqtt:broker.url=tcp://192.168.2.200:1883
mqtt:broker.clientId=openhab
mqtt:broker.user=valentin
mqtt:broker.pwd=xyz

mosquitto output:
1482923442: New connection from 192.168.2.200 on port 1883.
1482923442: New client connected from 192.168.2.200 as openhab (c1, k60, u’valentin’).

tcpdump:
<shows successfull TCP/IP and Layer 7 connection, but no subscription/attempt to topic /house/heizung/ofen/temp/kessel_abgas>

Subscription via unix-cmdline works:
mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.2.200 -u valentin -P xyz -p 1883 -t house/heizung/ofen/temp/kessel_abgas >> /tmp/abgas

Any help is highly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Valentin

You need to have the same channel name, so try:
Number kessel_abgas "temp [%.1f]" {mqtt="<[broker:house/heizung/ofen/temp/kessel_abgas:state:default]"}

mymeteora · December 28, 2016, 12:20pm

sihui, Thanks!
I had this configuration before. I changed it to the proposed line. Unfortuateley, there is no success:

13:17:06.968 [DEBUG] [.b.mqtt.internal.MqttActivator:34 ] - MQTT binding has been started.
13:17:06.993 [DEBUG] [m.internal.MqttEventBusBinding:68 ] - MQTT: Activating event bus binding.
thats all

sihui · December 28, 2016, 5:01pm

Did you try subscribing to all topics in verbose mode via wildcard?

pi@raspberrypi3:~ $ mosquitto_sub -v -t /#
/esp8266three/temperature/outside 6.2

At least it should give you the correct topic for your item …

Hmmm … what about

mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.2.200 -u house -P xyz -p 1883 -v -t /#
?

I’m not a MQTT specialist but that looks to me as your topic is /house/house at the beginning.

mymeteora · January 2, 2017, 2:39pm

The documentation at https://github.com/openhab/openhab/wiki/MQTT-Binding shows that the syntax of item line is
Item myItem {mqtt="<>[<< broker>>:<>:<>:<>], …"}

My home.item meets this syntax.

Number kessel_abgas {mqtt="<[broker:house/heizung/ofen/temp/kessel_abgas:state:default]"}

Nevertheless, even minor changes in the items-file does not cause any requests (visible via tcpdump) from OpenHAB to mosquitto-Broker. This does not meet my expectation? Only the successfull establish process of the connection is visible with tcpdump.
Any request of mosquitto_sub is visible with tcpdump!

Is there any dependency between mqtt-topic and other parts of the OpenHAB-configuration?

Thanks in advance, Valentin

sihui · January 2, 2017, 4:22pm

I did not doubt that.
But I guess you are subscribing to a wrong topic: house/heizung/ofen/temp/kessel_abgas

And if you would using my syntax
mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.2.200 -u house -P xyz -p 1883 -v -t /#
it would show you the correct topic.

It’s worth a try …

mymeteora · January 3, 2017, 7:57am

mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.2.200 -u house -P xyz -p 1883 -v -t /#

does not deliver any output after minutes …

But I didn’t see, that OpenHAB is requesting that topic from mosquitto.

watou · January 3, 2017, 8:11am

That’s possibly misleading, in that the number of sections divided by colons differs between “in” binding and “out” binding config strings. I don’t see a problem with your particular example of the “in” binding string.

Make sure that the messages published to house/heizung/ofen/temp/kessel_abgas consist of decimal digits, use only a period (not comma) to separate decimal values, no thousands separator, and no leading or trailing spaces. In other words, the message cannot be interpreted as a Number unless it is properly formatted.

mymeteora · January 3, 2017, 12:07pm

sihue, watou: Thanks for your answers to the thread

As you read in my former posts, the command-line mosquitto-client reads well formated data.

Unfortunately, as proofed by tcpdump, no subscribe-request is issued by OpenHAB, thus the issue seems to be located in OpenHAB. (successfull establishment of the connection is shown by tcpdump, though)

I tried to debug OpenHAB with the following lines in logback.xml

 < logger name="org.openhab" level="INFO"/>
 < logger name="org.openhab.binding.mqtt" level="DEBUG" />
 < logger name="org.openhab.io.transport.mqtt" level="DEBUG" />

This does’nt lead to any more diagnostic output

watou · January 3, 2017, 12:14pm

You don’t happen to have another client with the same clientId, do you?

Different user than valentin?

mymeteora · January 3, 2017, 2:04pm

I changed the clientId to be sure:

Creating new client for ‘tcp://192.168.2.200:1883’ using id ‘myopenhab’ and file store ‘/tmp/broker’

The user “house” was indeed a typo. Should always be valentin

Please check your persist/mqtt.persist file if you really intend to use MQTT persistence. If you don’t intend to use it, remove org.openhab.persistence.mqtt-1.8.3.jar from your addons directory.

Hmm. Do you have any MQTT Event Bus binding configuration somewhere? Do you intend to use this binding? If not, make sure you have not configuration for it.

Have you had any success yet? I am getting pretty much the exact same issue. OH connects to mosquitto, but it doesn’t actually subscribe to anything.

I am on OH2 though

Unfortunately, not

Thanks for your hint. thus, I will not give OH2 a try … and spent some more hours on that …

Nevertheless, we do not want to resign.

Have you tried any debugging switches? “logback.xml” ??

Hi Guys,

I am also trying to get mosquito and openhab 1.9 talking. When i use mosquito_sub with /owntracks/jcid/# i get all the needed data for that user… I just cant figure out the openhab.cfg and items portion…

mosquitto_sub -h localhost -p 1883 -v -t 'owntracks/jcid/#'

In openhab.cfg i tried

mqtt-eventbus:broker=mosquitto
#mqtt-eventbus:commandPublishTopic=/openHAB/out/${item}/command
mqtt-eventbus:stateSubscribeTopic=/owntracks/jcid

which shows me a SUBSCRIBE at least but cant figure out how to get that to my items in “Items”

Received SUBSCRIBE from root.1486587664442
1486587691:     /owntracks/jcid/# (QoS 2)

In items i have

String  Jay_Presence   "Jay @ Home"   { mqtt="<[mosquitto:owntracks/jcid/#]" }

tried a bunch of things and no luck…

heeelp!
