Wh1080 mqtt belchertown

[pligg...@gmail.com]

Hi! Trying to get the belchertown skin to work on my weewx setup. My problem is getting the mqtt to work. It only says Connected, waiting for data. 

My first question is what would the best update time be running with a wh1080 weather station?

Second, as it never updates,  is there a way to see if the mqtt part works and it's possible to get some weather data? Kind of stuck.

Here's my config:

Weewx config:

[StdRESTful]

 [[MQTT]]

        server_url = mqtt://192.168.1.199:1883

        topic = weather

        unit_system = METRIC

[StdReport]

 [[Belchertown]]

        HTML_ROOT = /var/www/html/weewx/belchertown

        skin = Belchertown

        

        server_url = https://localhost:1883

        topic = weather/loop

        unit_system = METRIC

        binding = archive, loop

        aggregation = aggregate

Skin.conf

[Extras]

 # MQTT Websockets defaults

    mqtt_websockets_enabled = 1

    mqtt_websockets_host = "192.168.1.199"

    mqtt_websockets_port = 9001

    mqtt_websockets_ssl = 0

    mqtt_websockets_topic = "weather/loop"

    disconnect_live_website_visitor = 1800000

Any obvious fault here?

I see "server_url" etc. under [[Belchertown]]. That seems to me the wrong place. And I see "localhost:1883" against "192.168.1.199:1883".

Thank you for your answer.

Removed server_url and localhost:1338 but no difference. 

More ideas?

You cannot just remove stuff from weewx.conf or make random configurations up out of thin air and expect things to work...

You have to specify the hostname or ip address of your MQTT broker computer.  Do not use localhost or 127.0.0.1, as the connection will be from your 'browser' computer to the MQTT broker computer.

Here is my example configuration for weewx using a MQTT host that has address 192.168.1.177 on my LAN.

   

# this publishes weewx data to the MQTT broker

 [[MQTT]]

        server_url = mqtt://192.168.1.177:1883/

        topic = weather

        binding = archive, loop

        log_success = False

# this configures Belchertown to request MQTT data using websockets

   [[Belchertown]]

        [[[Extras]]]

            mqtt_websockets_enabled = 1

            mqtt_websockets_host = 192.168.1.177

            mqtt_websockets_port = 9001

You also need your MQTT broker configured to listen on the two ports.

I do it by putting two files in /etc/mosquitto/conf.d on the MQTT broker host.

# this is /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/1883.conf

allow_anonymous true

listener 1883

protocol mqtt

# this is /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/9001.conf

allow_anonymous true

listener 9001

protocol websockets

Vince, true! 

The issue is solved, I had mix those to settings (MQTT and Belchertown) with each other so now everyting is working great!

Thank you!
