After lots of googling, I went to “Services” “MQTT System Broker Connection”. It had a space in the name. Two options here…1) it has ALWAYS been there, or 2) a gremlin changed it. Not me, certainly not this week.

I replaced the space w/ an underscore and the traceback vanished.

I’m still getting the every 60sec reconnecting attempts between OH and Mosquitto, but the system appears to be working correctly. I’ve never seen a solution to this issue in any of the posts I’ve located.

Note: running standalone Mosquitto broker, all configs done via PaperUI.

Having followed up with all of the feedback from everyone, the email problem has gone away.

I need to add one additional item… when using Gmail as your smtp gateway, be sure to authorize external, less secure apps, or else you get a misleading “authentication” error.

THANKS everyone.
