Just ‘jumping in’ to this thread and I think I can see where the problem
lies.
Collins website appears to be using http
G Hammer’s website appears to be using http*s*
The instructions that Collin gave are correct and valid for an http site,
that is one not using SSL.
If you use those instructions, that is the MQTT configuration, on an SSL
site, it will do exactly what you are describing, that is hang continuously
stating ‘Connecting to weather station data’. This is by design, as an SSL
website cannot and will not process non-SSL data.
Solutions?
1. Simply access your website using http only and it will work with the
unedited config. Be careful here though, as most modern browsers will
automatically default to https once they ‘have seen’ a valid https
connection for a domain, so you may need to clear the cache/history of the
chosen browser to make it work, if you have already visited the website via
https
2. Simply for test, change the config details that Collin kindly
provided, with two subtle changes to direct the client to use secure
websockets and a secure port, thus:
Edited reproduction of Collin’s config – changes to port number and SSL = 1
[[MQTT]]
#This section is for the MQTT service setup
server_url = mqtt://test.mosquitto.org:1883/
topic = weather/41south
unit_system = METRIC
binding = archive, loop
aggregation = aggregate
Skin.conf
# MQTT Defaults
mqtt_enabled = 1
mqtt_host = "test.mosquitto.org"
mqtt_port = 8081
mqtt_ssl = 1
mqtt_topic = "weather/41south/#"
disconnect_live_website_visitor = 1800000
The Mosquitto documentation refers:
https://test.mosquitto.org/
<https://test.mosquitto.org/>
Hope this helps - all the best,
Dave.
