Your config stanza format is incorrect; you cannot just insert sub-stanzas
in the middle of an existing stanza, the sub-stanzas need to be added to
the end. In the case of a WeeWX config file indents don't matter but order
does. Try something like:
[[MQTT]] # Enable/disable this service
enable = true
unit_system = METRICWX
# Hostname/IP of MQTT broker
host = 192.168.2.22
topic = weather
[[[inputs]]]
[[[[outTemp]]]]
format = %.2f # use two decimal places of
precision
name = outside_temperature # use label other than inTemp
[[[[windSpeed]]]]
units = meter_per_second
format = %.2f
name = wind_m_s
The order you had meant the MQTT uploader was never seeing the host and
topic config entries.
If that doesn't work post a log extract showing the error.
