Problems with Weewx writing MQTT Broker

[Dun Mac]

I have been trying for a week to get the live updates to work for Weewx. But I am not having any luck at all, so can someone please help if they can see where my setup is wrong. For background info: Weewx is running on an RPi 4B 192.168.8.155. I have set up an RPi 3A as the MQTT Broker 192.168.8.158. The "service weewx status" shows the following:

 Mar 21 12:40:23 RPi-weather python3[2185]: weewx[2185] ERROR weewx.restx: MQTT: Failed to publish record 2021-03-21 11

 The Belchertown page shows:

"Connected. Waiting for data. Last Updated 21 March 2021 yada yada"

My Weewx.conf setup is as follows:

 

188     [[MQTT]]
189         server_url = mqtt://vantagepro:xxxxxxx...@192.168.8.158:1833/
190         topic = weather
191         unit_system = METRIC
192         binding = archive,loop
193         aggregation = aggregate

248     [[Belchertown]]
249         skin = Belchertown
250         HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html
251

         [[Services]]
669          
674         restful_services = weewx.restx.StdStationRegistry,......, user.mqtt.MQTT

 

I have not set up SSL on the Broker, hence it is disabled.   /etc/weewx/skins/Belchertown/skin.conf is as follows:

35     # MQTT Websockets
36     mqtt_websockets_enabled = 1
37     mqtt_websockets_host = 192.168.8.158
38     mqtt_websockets_port = 9001
39     mqtt_websockets_ssl = 0
40     mqtt_websockets_topic = weather/loop
41     disconnect_live_website_visitor = 1800000

 

The MQTT (192.168.8.158) broker.conf is:

  6 pid_file /run/mosquitto/mosquitto.pid
 7
 8 persistence true
 9 persistence_location /var/lib/mosquitto/
10
11 log_dest file /var/log/mosquitto/mosquitto.log
12
13 log_type all
14 log_facility 5
15 log_type error
16 log_type warning
17 log_type notice
18 log_type information
19
20 connection_messages true
21 log_timestamp true
22
23 include_dir /etc/mosquitto/conf.d

and the Broker/conf.d/myconfig.conf

# mqtt
listener 1883
protocol mqtt

# websockets
listener 9001
protocol websockets

#Allow anonymous to read only and others need to be set in passwd,acl
allow_anonymous true
password_file /etc/mosquitto/passwd
acl_file /etc/mosquitto/acl

 

The Broker Pub/Sub is working with and without passwords, using terminals in Weewx RPi (192.168.8.155).

The Mosquitto client on the Weewx machine (192.168.8.155) has no configuration file

 

I know I have something wrong but I just have no idea.

Have you tried using the weewx-MQTTSubscribe addon?

There's a typo in server_url: the port should be 1883, not 1833.

Thank you, a really dumb mistake on my part. System updating. Issue Resolved

It’s happened before.  That’s a hard one to spot, given the visual similarity “8” and “3”.
