[SOLVED] Connect to MQTT problems

[espruino-discuss]

Posted at 2018-05-12 by Juanillo

Hi,

I'm trying to use MQTT on a ESP8266 (Flash map 1MB:512/512, manuf 0xc8 chip 0x4014) and always returns same error:

1526108440: New connection from 192.168.10.44 on port 1883.
1526108440: New client connected from 192.168.10.44 as 4e8422275dd0 (c1, k60).
1526108440: Socket error on client 4e8422275dd0, disconnecting.

It's only a simple connection test code like this:

var wifi = require("Wifi");
var mqtt = require("MQTT").create("192.168.10.43", {
  keep_alive: 60,
  clean_session: true
});

wifi.connect("MyWifi", {password: "MyPassword"},function(err){
  if (!err) {
    const info = wifi.getIP();
    console.log('connected? err=', err, 'info=', info);
    mqtt.connect();
  } else {
    console.log('error: ',err);
  }
});
wifi.stopAP();

mqtt.on("connected", function(){
  console.log("connected");
});

mqtt.on("disconnected", function(){
  console.log("disconnected");
});

The output is always the same:

I try a lot of configurations and I don't know how to continue:

1. Mosquitto server's: 1.4.14, 1.4.15, "test.mosquitto.org",...etc
2. Test on different ESP8266 boards.
3. Using module "MQTT" and "TinyMQTT".
4. Move "mqtt.connect()" line inside "wifi.connect" callback
5. Try using connect directly:

var mqtt = require("MQTT").connect({
  host: "192.168.10.43",
});

6. Run mosquitto server in verbose mode "mosquitto -v":

1526109123: New connection from 192.168.10.44 on port 1883.
1526109123: New client connected from 192.168.10.44 as 3fefc4344328 (c1, k60).
1526109123: Sending CONNACK to 3fefc4344328 (0, 0)
1526109123: Socket error on client 3fefc4344328, disconnecting.

Mosquitto server is up and runnig with anonymous access acepted. I'm using this server with other esp8266 boards running native C code and goes good, so I think that is no problem with the server.

If someone can help me with this problem, I would be enormously grateful.

Thank you

I first start my mqtt in:

wlan.on ('connected', function (s) {
  mqttstart ()
};

as it sometimes takes some time before my esp8266 catches the network.

You could try using one of the very recent builds from http://www.espruino.com/binaries/travis/master/ - it looks like 1v97 had an issue that could have broken TCPIP sockets in some cases.

Thank you very much @gfwilliams. I delete flash and upgrade to 1v97.98 and works great!!!

I saw new versions at http://www.espruino.com/binaries/travis/­master/ for example release 1v97.100. This versions are the last development versions?. Are the same as github repository "master" branch?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Juanillo

Yes, that's right - they're built automatically with each new commit. You can actually look up a specific commit in http://www.espruino.com/binaries/travis/
