Connection loss on Event Update

[solariz]

Hey,

I recently startet to play around with mosquitto and this MQTT module. If I request #/example/status by sending a 0 msg everything is fine, if I just wait for the device Events I only see errors in the log, no device update is pushed automatically into MQ.

For Example a Power Meter reporting it WATT:

Doesn't matter if Report is 0 or > 1 always disconnect. No Error in mosquitto log.

Can you guide us step by step how to reproduce it? We are still unable to catch it

Hello, seems as if I'm having the same issue. I've installed the latest MQTT app (version 1.3 stable) and managed to establish a connection to my mosquitto server, which is running on another machine. I'm testing with a Door/Window sensor, that send a signal, whenever a windows opens or closes. In the ZWay elements overview, the status of the element updates accordingly. But the z-way-server log shows that the MQTT app looses the connection to the mosquitto server:

Does this help to reproduce the problem ?

[Edubits]

@alwalz, are you sure you’re running the latest version? The latest stable is 1.4.1.

[alwalz]

@Edubits: interesting point. I thought it was the latest version, because I've downloaded it through the web-application, but apparently it wasn't. Thank's for the hint. Meanwhile I've downloaded the version 1.4.1 manually (git clone) and after I while, I got it accepted and started by z-way-server. Now the app shows version 1.4.1. Unfortunately the same problem exists, see below. Another thing I tried, was starting mosquitto on the same server as z-way, but that also did not help.

[PoltoS]

The disconnect happens only in even from the sensor? May be it is a keep alive problem?

Can it be also reproduced using test.mosquitto.org? So we don't have to install the server ourselves

[pastukhov]

In my case this happen when device name conatin an #

[Alex895]

In my case this happen when device name conatin an #

Thanks for hint !! It really is, have same problem

If # in device name - mqtt disconnects, after rename - works fine

[PoltoS]

Looks like # is a wildcard symbol - should be removed from device names.

Any progress here? I have the same issue as soon as a fibaro motion sensor triggers. I thought it also might be a naming issue as I have an umlaut in the name but after changin ü for ue the problem persists.

One thing I found out is that the disconnect happens even if mqtt app is not enabled for the fibaro motion sensor... Maybe it is a timeout as some other z-wave task is blocking the thread to long?

[thexperiments]

Ok it WAS the same issue, I found that it was als sending out the "temper" of the motion sensor which was automatically called "temper #2". The assumption that it happens also without any mqtt interaction above is false --> I thought it would be enough to restart the app from the webserver but it seems that a full stop/start cycle is required to get rid of previously configured interactions.

I get this error too and after some digging I found this issue, I have some devices containing name with #

The code is outside my competence but there should be a way to escape # so it would work with MQTT

[hartmark]

After som digging I found that my broker used TLS and apparently it's not supported as stated in #2
