Problem with devices connected by mqtt

Hi. How are they?
My English is not very good
I need help with a problem that I cannot solve.
I have two devices:

  • Wemos: connected through a mqtt link, with which I control 7 lights.
  • Nodemecu: you have a DHT22 sensor connected through the MQTT link.
    If only one of the devices is connected, it works perfect. But if I connect the two, it stops working immediately.
    In the log viwer if it shows me the temperature and the change of the switches, but does not perform the actions on the devices. What will be the problem?
    The server is mounted on a raspberry pi 3 b +, I am not using the latest update from openhab, but the previous one.
    If you can give me an orientation of the problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

A few questions which may help us to help you:

What software/firmware is running on your Wemos and your NodeMCU?

Connected to what? Your MQTT broker? And what stops working?

Is this the problem you describe above, or a different problem? Is the problem that you cannot actuate your relays through openHAB? But you can actuate if only one device is attached?

Can you show us your Thing and Item configurations?

In general we are going to need a complete description of exactly what is not working, how your system is setup (configurations), and what you have tried already!

When sharing text configurations, please use code fences: sandwich your text between three backticks

```
like this
example
```

which will look like this:

That would point to a possible duplicate MQTT device ID.

Without knowing all your settings we can’t tell.

Thanks for answering so quickly. I have not updated the firmware of any of the devices, I am using them with the factory settings.
I am using mosquito-linked mqtt link.
The items are:

Number Tempcasa "Indoor temperature [% .0f ° C]" <temperature> {channel = "mqtt: topic: Temperature: Temperature"}
Number Humcasa "Relative humidity [% .0f %%]" <humidity> {channel = "mqtt: topic: Humidity: Humidity"} 


EXTERIOR LIGHT switch "Front patio light" <light> {channel = "mqtt: topic: 0ce450f9: LuzPatio"}
Switch LUZ4 "Luz 4" <light> {channel = "mqtt: topic: 5cb896d7: LUZ4"}
Switch LUZ5 "Luz 5" <light> {channel = "mqtt: topic: 1d6e677f: LUZ5"}
Switch LUZ6 "Luz 6" <light> {channel = "mqtt: topic: 79b7657b: LUZ6"}
Switch LUZ7 "Luz 7" <light> {channel = "mqtt: topic: f93aefd9: LUZ7"}

The file of things I modify it from the paper ui

Please edit your post to use code fences. As shown, code fences are three back ticks ```, not speech or quote marks "

We need to see this, as this is the link to outside of openHAB.

Do you really have spaces after the colons? Does that work? This would normally be

mqtt:topic:5cb896d7:LUZ4

Additionally, the Temperature and Humidity Items point to slightly unusually named Thing Channels, especially if using PaperUI. Again, let’s see your Thing configurations to check.

Great! So forget about openHAB for a minute, and prove that your esp devices are properly connected to Mosquitto, and you’re receiving the correct data on the correct topics. If you paste those logs here (using code fences!), we can compare them to your Thing configurations.

Can you also prove that your esp devices themselves are identifying to Mosquitto with unique names?

What exactly is not working?

Hello how are you?
I’m trying to solve the problem but I still can’t find the solution, I pass my complete configuration:

These are not the Items you showed before.
For some reason, you have now configured them for MQTT binding version 1 syntax.
This will never work with the MQTT binding version 2, which uses channels instead, the way you had it before.

Hello
If I had changed them, I already placed it as I had it before but it still does not work.

Switch LUZ3 "Luz 3"<light>{channel="mqtt:topic:c5f64c21:LUZ3"}
Switch LUZ4 "Luz 4"<light>{channel="mqtt:topic:c5f64c21:LUZ4"}

Number Tempcasa "Temperatura interior [%.0f °C]" <temperature> {channel="mqtt:topic:f70842be:TEMPERATURA"}
Number Humcasa "Humedad relativa [%.0f %%]" <humidity> {channel="mqtt:topic:f70842be:HUMEDAD"}

You have shown several screnshots of your esp relay and sensor, but not the one showing the config of the thing where the bridge gets selected. That would be the bl6e pencil ABOVE the channels.

I think JĂĽrgen was right. @Leandro_Villarreal are you using the exact same code on all of the devices? If so, you will need to change the deviceID to be different for each one.

When a second device tries to connect to your MQTT broker, the first will be disconnected. When the first one gets disconnected it will try to reconnect and kick the second one off. They will continue to disconnect each other until your turn one of them off.

Hello
I also feel that it may be a duplicate deviceID problem, I am looking at how to solve it.
In the images I show you the configuration that you asked me.


The deviceID is assigned in your code that you upload to the ESP device. Why don’t you use something like Tasmota instead? It would make things easier I think.

The deviceID is something set in each of your Wemos and NodeMCU devices, and used by them to communicate with your MQTT broker.

You will not see any of that looking in openHAB. Although openHAB does have its own deviceID, part of the Bridge thing settings. That does need to be unique and different from Wemos etc. By default, it makes up a random one.

Thank you very much I will try that technique
