Updating Mosquitto broker to 6.0.1 stops AM43 from working

[DaveTiff]

Hi, updated my Mosquitto broker from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 stops AM43 from operating.

The Blue Tooth Enable works, but the components on HA dashboard remain Greyed Out. Restoring MQTT back to 5.1.1 cures this problem.

Regards, Dave

[DaveTiff]

Now not sure it is that, as it has now also stopped working with 5.1.1. Restarting Mosquitto broker allows it to work again.

It has been working fine for over a week, Now running HA 2021.5.5

Anyone else having problems.

Regards, Dave

[DaveTiff]

Another person is now having trouble with Mosquitto broker 6.0.1 and AM43.

[CaptInsano]

Also happening here. HomeAssistant 2021.5.5 Mosquitto: 6.0.1

All other MQTT devices (mainly Tasmota) all still working perfectly

[Kite-Smurf]

Hi, The exact same thing happens with my system too: updated my Mosquitto broker from 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 stops AM43 from operating.

The Blue Tooth Enable works, but the components on HA dashboard remain Greyed Out. Restoring MQTT back to 5.1.1 cures this problem.

added a question in the mosquito thread [https://github.com/home-assistant/addons/issues/2030] support the question

[belenkiy-lab]

I have several curtains at home. half are connected via this integration, half are connected via test version in esphome after updating mqtt those connected via esphome remained working. the rest stopped working like everyone else.

tell me, how exactly did you connect the AM43 to ESPhome in the test?

[belenkiy-lab]

It worked for me if I specified "buxtronix: am43" in the Esphome version. After that, everything worked. It was in early March. When I tried to do similar actions in April, I get the same error as yours. therefore, I started new curtains not through esphome, but through native integration from buxtronix. I decided it was easier than trying to figure it out. I'm waiting for this integration to be in the esphome release to use it fully and monotonously at home.

У меня это работало если указать в версии Esphome "buxtronix:am43". После этого все работало. Это было в в начале марта. Когда я пробовал в апреле сделать аналогичные действия, я получаю ошибку, такую же как и у тебя. поэтому новые шторы я завел не через esphome а через родную интеграцию от buxtronix. Решил что это проще, чем разбираться. Жду когда данная интеграция будет в релизе esphome что бы использовать ее полноценно и однообразно у себя.

[balbulator]

none of the options work at the moment

[belenkiy-lab]

Use mqtt version 5.1.1 and this integration

[balbulator]

The problem is that I cannot roll back the mosquitoes

[belenkiy-lab]

what prevents you from installing a clean instalation of mosquito not from HA? on any computer on the network or docker?

[balbulator]

Everything interferes, on the PC not an option, on the docker, too, as on the Home Assistant

this is my mqtt snapshot as I understand you can restore 5.1.1 using it. will it help?

Thanks, I have installed the Mosquitto broker add-on Current version: 5.1.1, but after HA update (core-2021.6.2) the problem reappeared

[DaveTiff]

I am on core-2021.6.2 and Mosquitto broker 5.1.1 mine is still working ok

Re Dave

[danilkorotkov]

this is PubSubClient issue, not AM43

[Kite-Smurf]

this is PubSubClient issue, not AM43

Thanks for the updated news on this. The question is how to solve it? and how to get AM43 working with the mqtt 6.0 version?

[danilkorotkov]

Thanks for the updated news on this. The question is how to solve it? and how to get AM43 working with the mqtt 6.0 version?

you can include arduino-mqtt lib instead of PubSubClient lib and then check all of 22 mqtt methods in your/example sketch) ota update is available PubSubClient has no update since 2020 so it is possible that it is abandoned

[balbulator]

Maybe it's time to make changes to the repository? It feels like this project is abandoned

[buxtronix]

I've not got the bad mosquitto version so can't reproduce. Feel free to send a PR and I'll merge a fix that helps.

Do you mind sharing your sketch? I tried and just go tonnes of errors compiling

[CaptInsano]

Has anyone got a solution for this issue when mosquitto is already at v6.0.1?

I unfortunately have no mosquitto snapshot at earlier version, all other MQTT integrations are still working great but no action from AM43 integration on my system.

Has anyone successfully ported the code to a different MQTT client?

[timdonovanuk]

Same issue here. It would help if the serial output had any info or debugging lines about MQTT, as I have no idea whats going on.

I can see it finding position and battery but nothing is sent to MQTT other than am43/enabled = ON

Could you please share some instructions on how to set this up in ESPHome? I never used that before. Thanks for help.

Do not use the external_components:

source: github://buxtronix/esphome-am43

the AM43 is already a built in option in ESP home

[sambeetm]

Thank you. Deleted those 2 lines. Its got compiled successfully and installed. Working as expected. !!

[panoriega]

I put a temp fix for current version using PubSubClient, this is not the best solution, I made this changes just for test purposes. Now it is able to subscribe and publish topics to mosquitto

I also tried to replace PubSubClient by MQTT 2.5. Both versions are on examples on my fork and in "working condition", if you want to try and share your comments about it.
