Well, I wasn't able to get MQTTX installed. I may come back to it again. In the meantime I was able to get some information from weewx debug mode.
Here is the result of running the command tail -f /var/log/syslog To watch the log as it is generated. [image: image.png] So I am definitely getting records published from MQTT however I still have the same problem where the local address is showing connected waiting for data and the remote instance is just connecting no further along but if anyone can make sense of this from that log data please let me know.
