Using a 3rd party diagnostic tool like Mqtt.fx, you can listen in to your broker to eavesdrop on traffic.
Then you see who says what, and who ignores it.
Well, I am really pissed off. I had enough. Thank you for your support but I will uninstall everything and spent time on my boat fishing rather than this BS openHAB…bye.
Sounds more appropriate. Enjoy the fish!
Well, really. Not one person offered to go round there and sort it all out.
The one thing that I see that might have been an issue is the ip address of the mqtt broker. 127.0.0.1 is a special address used as “localhost”. This means that your PC will be able to connect to itself using that ip just fine. However, when other devices on the network try to use it, they will attempt to connect to themselves rather than your pc. You’ll have to figure out the PCs ip address given to it by the router. This is usually something like 192.168.0.?.
@vince59, if you decide to try any more here or on any technical thing in the future, you really need to give better details. Instead of saying “I configured the device like the tutorial says,” you should give specifics. Like:
Tasmota settings:
Mqtt host: 192.168.0.10
User : mqttu
Pass: mqttp
Topic: tasmota/whatever
Openhab settings:
Mqtt host: 127.0.0.1
And so on and so forth. Give all the details since you are confused and don’t know which ones are relevant.
People here can give a lot of help, but you need to give them details that they need so they can recognize what’s wrong. Threatening to quit over and over isn’t super helpful either. Either stick with it, or don’t, but that’s up to you and doesn’t really affect anybody else much.
