MQTT / Belchertown / Connected. Waiting for data.

[Stefan Gliessmann]

I am struggling to understand why the Belchertown skin is not receiving weather data even though it is connected to the MQTT broker and user.mqtt is publishing weather data.

TIA,

Stefan

Here is what I have configured in /etc/weewx/weewx.conf:

[StdRESTful]

    [[MQTT]]

        # Enable/disable this service
        enable = true

        # Hostname/IP of MQTT broker
        host = 192.168.178.190
        server_url = mqtt://teffi:++++...@192.168.178.190:1883/

        # Credentials
        user = teffi
        password = ++++++++

        # Prefix for topics
        topic = weather/weewx
        unit_system = METRIC
        binding = archive,loop
        aggregation = aggregate
        [[[inputs]]]
            [[[[rainRate]]]]
                units = mm_per_hour
            [[[[rain]]]]
                units = mm

                units = mm

                units = mm
            [[[[ET]]]]
                units = mm
            [[[[dayET]]]]
                units = mm
            [[[[ET24]]]]
                units = mm

[StdReport]

    [[Belchertown]]
        skin = Belchertown

        enable = true

        [[[Extras]]]

            #--- MQTT Websockets (for Real Time Streaming) Options ---
            log_failure = True

            mqtt_websockets_port = 9001
#            mqtt_websockets_ssl = 0
            mqtt_websockets_topic = weather/weewx
            # disconnect_live_website_visitor = 1800000

Hi,

it doesnt work with localhost. Think, you start your Browser localy so your Loca Browser try to mqqt to localhost. And there is no mwtt server.

From My weewx config (the MQTT part). Think i configured my mqtt and Webssite with https.

Thank you for the feedback.

I changed "localhost" to the IP of the MQTT broker as suggested.

It did not fix it ...

As far as I understand that section is for uploading weewx data to the mqtt broker.

That part works well as I can read the weather with an mqtt client.

It is the Belchertown skin part which connects to the MQTT Brocker with websocket, but it cannot receive data for updates ...

I am really puzzled ...

Two things to consider :

1)  when opening your website from local network :  your mqtt broker is using port 9001 for websockets. If it doesn't works , you may have to verify that this port 9001 is not blocked by a firewall.  

2)  when opening your website from internet (http://weewxhi.de) .i.e outside your local network :  mqtt_websockets_host = 192.168.178.190  is a local network IP address that cannot be accessed from outside. You should use  a dynamic dns service (no-ip, dyndns or other) to create a redirection from internet to your mqtt broker, and configure your router and firewall accordingly.

wrt

9001 is not blocked by the firewall on 192.168.178.190

I can receive the via 9001 on my iPhone with an Matt client the values

Yeah - I have dyndns enabled and just opened 9001 on my router, too.

Unfortunately, it continues to say "Connected. Waiting for data." 

Does a Belchertown config file override weewx.conf settings somewhere?

9001 is not blocked by the firewall on 192.168.178.190

So have a look at your browser console to detect any websocket or javascript errors that can occur

Yeah - I have dyndns enabled and just opened 9001 on my router, too.

Unfortunately, it continues to say "Connected. Waiting for data." 

If you have a dyndns host configured, such as XXXXX.dyndns.org , that redirects to your mqtt broker, you have to configure  : 

mqtt_websockets_host = XXXXX.dyndns.org

Another point to check :

Please verify in your mosquitto acl file (/etc/mosquitto/acl) that the user "teffi" has read permission for the topic "weather"

[Stefan Gliessmann]

user "teffi" has readwrite permission

in Firefox inspect error console there are no errors wrt websocket or javascript errors ... (only errors with geolocation & uncaught type error in context with windy.com)

[Jacques Terrettaz]

One point : if you have the "Connected. Waiting for data."  message, this indicates that the websockets connection is successful. If no further data is received, this may indicate that the expected topic "weather/loop" is not existing.

You may try to use a software such as mqtt explorer (http://mqtt-explorer.com/) to inspect your mqtt broker and the topics published

Stefan - check your MQTT publish stanza of weewx.conf and make sure that you are publishing to the topic that you have Belchertown trying to subscribe to.

From your first post you had a log extract saying:

Jul 21 15:30:02 weewx weewx[37286] DEBUG user.mqtt: Publishing "weather/weewx/inHumidity_percent

So I'm wondering if you need to set Belchertown to look for "weather/weewx/loop" rather than the typical "weather/loop"

I think you have a mismatch in what you are publishing vs. what you are trying to subscribe to.

[Graham Eddy]

try ‘mosquito_sub -v -t topic_pattern -h brokerhost’ to see what **is** being published

⊣GE⊢

[Graham Eddy]

i meant ‘mosquito_sub -v -t “#" -h brokerhost’ on weewx host, plus authentication if any

If Stefan would just post his MQTT and Belchertown stanzas from weewx.conf we could cut to the chase here and just tell him where things aren't configured correctly....

[Stefan Gliessmann]

Dear Vince,

you mean something like this?

Jul 24, 2023, 1:51:16 PM (19 hours ago) 

to weewx-user

Thank you all for providing input / sharing your configurations.

I made the suggested changes and more, but still belchertown displays Connected. Waiting for data ...

I have attached all configs / logs / checks I could think of below.

Thanks again for your input in advance!
Stefan

These are my current configs:

mosquitto:

So, weewx prodcasts the weather thru the mqtt broker mosquitto :)

Yet still, Belchertown skin remains waiting for data

Here is my [StdReport] [[Belchertown]] [[[Extras]]] stanza in weewx.conf:

GE - could you expand on your statement: "referenced topic not listed in the topics of published messages"?

what should mqtt_websockets_topic look like? e.g. = weather/inTemp_degree_C/loop?

TIA,

Stefan

[Graham Eddy]

i don’t use belchertown or that mqtt driver so i don’t know the details.

my observation is that the report belchertown seems to be waiting on topic ‘’weather/loop’’ (i don’t know the syntax but it’s a reasonable presumption), but when you printed all the messages being published, none had that topic → belchertown quite rightly is not reporting receiving any messages

It should look like : weather/loop. The loop topic is a json containing all the data aggregated  and is apparently not generated with your setup.

[Jacques Terrettaz]

Are you using this extension : https://github.com/michael-slx/weewx-mqtt. ?

If yes, this extension does not generate a "loop" json topic needed by the Belchertown skin. In that case, you have to use the following extension : https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-mqtt/tree/master

It seems that you have 2 mqtt extensions installed :

mqtt              0.24      Upload weather data to MQTT server.

MQTT              0.2.0     Extension for uploading LOOP data to an MQTT broker

Which one is active ?

OMG - what did I do there?

I will first remove the MQTT 0.2.0 one.

I don't remember that installation :(

Glad, you asked me which version I run ... LOL

SOLVED!

Thank you, Jacques, for pointing out that I had two (2) weewx to mqtt extensions installed. 😁

Once I removed both and reinstalled the one from https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-mqtt, modified the weewx.conf accordingly and restarted WeeWX, I had the green dot and data receiving!

I do highly appreciate your patience with me! 🙏

Thank you all again,
