CloudMQTT & Belchertown Skin

[G Hammer]

Is anyone using CloudMQTT broker with the Belchertown skin?

I have data published to the broker, but will not connect via SSL/TLS Websockets.

I can connect via TLS websockets using a different client.

[Tom Mitchell]

Also wondering this.

I'd lean toward it being a cert problem in how you configured Belchertown (just a guess)

Did you do it ala his docs at https://github.com/poblabs/weewx-belchertown#mqtt-optional ?

 

[Tom Mitchell]

Never got it to work - just switched to hivemq and all is good.

Same here. Built my own MQTT server, no problems at all

Feel free to share your hivemq settings that worked for you and I'll update the skin's wiki file. 

[Tom Mitchell]

Here is what worked for me: [[MQTT]]

server_url = mqtt://broker.hivemq.com:1883

topic = topic/subtopic

unit_system = US

binding = archive, loop

aggregation = aggregate

...

[[[Extras]]]

# Set to 1 to enable the real-time streaming website updates from your MQTT broker (server)

mqtt_enabled = 1

mqtt_ssl = 0

mqtt_host = broker.hivemq.com # The MQTT broker hostname or IP

mqtt_port = 8000 # The port of the MQTT broker's Websockets port. Check your broker's documentation.

mqtt_topic = "topic/subtopic/#" # The topic to subscribe to for your weather data

disconnect_live_website_visitor = 1800000 #The number of seconds after a visitor has loaded your page that we disconnect them from the live streaming updates. The idea here is to save your broker from a streaming connection that never ends. Time is in milliseconds. 0 = disabled. 300000 = 5 minutes. 1800000 = 30 minutes

Thanks Tom. No need to authenticate to post to the topic? It's a public broker?

[Tom Mitchell]

Yes! That simple.

Hi,

I'm now also using HiveMQ now. Generally it's working OK, but the website updates quite infrequently. Weewx sends MQTT messages almost every second, but the website receives updates sometimes after 10 seconds, sometimes after more than 30 seconds only.

Could be a workload issue of the server?

Do you have similar experiences?

[Tom Mitchell]

I did have that issue. Loooong time to update. I wound up building my own server, which was easy and lightweight.

Hmm ... I tried to build my own server yesterday, but haven't been successful. All the instructions I found on the web didn't work for my vserver (Debian). The Websocket part never did its job :(

Did you try this link?  https://obrienlabs.net/how-to-setup-your-own-mqtt-broker/

[Tom Mitchell]

I used this one: https://obrienlabs.net/how-to-setup-your-own-mqtt-broker/ - on Debian with no problems. I even put it in Packer so I can replace the server any time.

I did follow the instructions exactly though.

Haha, that's one I've used, too. I'll give it another try on the weekend.

Thanks!

Thanks, Tom!

Now the MQTT broker works on my vserver :)

Only the user and access control doesn't take effect. I've followed the respective instructions twice, but I still can publish without stating a user or password.

I also can post any random topic. Not just the one defined in the MQTT ACL file.

I have a problem. I have taken over the settings exactly as described. However, no real-time data is displayed in the skin. MQTT Broker is installed. The board is a raspberry. Settings in weewx.conf and Belchertown skin.conf I have also made. Here is the page https://www.meteo-oberwallis.ch/wetter/weewx/user/. I can not connected with de broker? Or do I have to adjust something else? As I said, I took this as a template.I have the Version 1.0.1.

Its looks like MQTT is not enabled in your Belchertown skin.

Verify that in weewx.conf, you have :

[StdReport]

......

    [[Belchertown]]

        skin = Belchertown

        HTML_ROOT = belchertown

        [[[Extras]]]

        .....

        mqtt_websockets_enabled = 1

and verify that the options :

mqtt_websockets_host

mqtt_websockets_port

mqtt_websockets_topic

are set according to your MQTT broker configuration.
