OpenHAB Mysensors binding 2.4: cant get mqtt gateway online

[jimmy loyens]

@guillermo-schimmel Hi guilleromo, thanks for staying with me.

I have a broker setup and online,

mqtt:broker:mosquito 
    [ host="192.168.1.2", 
      port=1883, 
      qos=1, 
      clientID="openHAB2", 
      reconnectTime=20000, 
      keepAlive=60000, 
      secure=false, 
      username="openhabian", 
      password="xxxx" 
    ]

If i create a thing for the gateway i can see the gateway in paperUI but i cant managet to get it online

Bridge mysensors:bridge-mqtt:gateway2 [ brokerName="mosquitto", username="openhabian", password="xxxx", topicPublish="mygateway1-in", topicSubscribe="mygateway1-out", startupCheckEnabled=false ] 

(This line probably looks formilliar, its the same you use with addition of username & password)

In the log it says: "No connection to broker: mosquitto" and i think this is the whole problem since i can see the messages from the gateway appearing on mosquitto when i do:

"mosquitto_sub -u openhabian -P y -p 1883 -v -t 'mygateway1-out/#'"

i can allso see the messages on my phone using an mqtt client perscribing to the same topic. But i'm downloading mqtt.fx as i type

[Guillermo Schimmel]

@jimmy-loyens You have some mosquito/mosquitto mismatch. Have you noticed?

[jimmy loyens]

@guillermo-schimmel No I had not noticed thanks. Corrected it but so far GW stays offline. I have deleted and restarted these files so often over the past coupple of days, this was a fresh file from today:grin:

just did a global search in my files, this was the only occurrence of the misspelling

[Guillermo Schimmel]

@jimmy-loyens This binding is a little raw. Perhaps you would like to restart the whole OpenHAB.

Also you should enable more debugging in openhab-cli console. Specificaly to mysensors binding and mqtt.

[jimmy loyens]

@guillermo-schimmel I allready have TRACE on for mysensors binding, i will turn it on for mqtt to (if i can find bundle name). Do you mean reboot openhab server? No problem that will be reboot nr167 for today :grin: :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

[jimmy loyens]

@jimmy-loyens turned on TRACE logging for mqtt transport, mqtt binding & mqtt thing binding. TRACE logging was allready on for mysensors binding.
Openhab server rebooted.

But gateway doesnt come online

[jimmy loyens]

@jimmy-loyens I allso have no problem publishing messages to the broker from MQTT.fx.

I currently have no actuator nodes, only sensor nodes so i cant see if gateway sends message on to nodes.

If i just send message: "mygateway1-in/170/4/1/0/16 0" to a node that has a door contact on child 4, should this message show up in the serial monitor?

otherwise i can reflash the node with a relay sketch

[Guillermo Schimmel]

@jimmy-loyens Sorry man. I'm lost. we should try to contact the author of mysensors-binding.

The only advice that I have right now. What I would do: Delete all mysensors-mqtt config. Delete openhab caches (a very big json file).

Start again very simple.

[jimmy loyens]

@guillermo-schimmel Dont worry about it you tried! Do you know who that is?

Where can i find "openhab caches"

[Guillermo Schimmel]

@jimmy-loyens https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/7176/openhab-2-2-binding

he is usually at that thread. very nice guy.

Lots of info on that thread also.

[Guillermo Schimmel]

Is this ok in your installation?

[jimmy loyens]

@guillermo-schimmel I will give it a try, thank you very much for all your efford. I think i will be needing a little brake right now so since its snowing over here i'll go sleeing with my doughter then start over fresh.:sweat_smile: :snowflake:

Thanks again

yes, its active. but for some reason it looks different

[TimO]

Hey @jimmy-loyens !

I needed some time to investigate the problem and after looking into it, I've no clue why this is working for you @Guillermo-Schimmel . :flushed:

With version 2.4.0 and the changes to the mqtt binding I'm not able to connect the MySensors binding to the MQTT broker connection configured in OpenHAB. The MySensors binding uses the MQTT implementation and connection of OpenHAB, it does not connect to the broker itself.

And now the funny part: my development system works fine, so I need to find a way to debug this problem.

@Guillermo-Schimmel Did you configure broker and things in PaperUI or in textual files?

@guillermo-schimmel You've mixed up attributes from the MySensors binding and the MQTT binding in the bridge definition. brokerName, topicSubscribe and so on are attributes from the MySensors binding. But this won't do any harm.

How is the MySensors gateway defined?

[Guillermo Schimmel]

@timo Mysensors gateway is defined via Paper UI:
