Can you kindly post your plugin configuration in appdaemon.yaml?
Regards
MQTT:
type: mqtt
client_host: '192.168.2.116'
client_user: 'xxxx'
client_password: 'xxxx'
namespace: mqtt
client_topics:
#- home/appdaemon
- 'monitor/garage/58:C5:CB:A4:63:68'
- monitor/gg-mon
Should actually be
self.mqtt_publish("monitor/gg-mon", "100", qos = 0, retain = True, namespace = "mqtt")
You spelt namespace wrong.
Also to avoid writing namespace everywhere, you could just use the self.set_namespace('mqtt') at the beginning of the initialise function.
Lastly if your system runs, you might create a loop in your system so be careful.

Thanks @Odianosen25, That was a silly mistake, It is working now
import appdaemon.plugins.mqtt.mqttapi as mqtt
class mqtttest(mqtt.Mqtt):
def initialize(self):
self.set_namespace('mqtt')
self.handle = self.listen_event(self.mqtt_callback, 'MQTT_MESSAGE')
def mqtt_callback(self, event_name, data, kwargs):
# do something with the received payload
self.log("Sending back to mqtt")
self.mqtt_publish("monitor/gg-mon", "100", qos = 0, retain = True)
Lastly if your system runs, you might create a loop in your system so be careful.
Already did that
It happens, and glad I could help 
Hi guys, sorry to revive this old topic,
I copied and pasted @anilet code and it doesn’t seem to work for me,
It does connect properly to the mqtt broker but no message sent or received.
Here is my appdaemon log.

def mqtt_callback(self, event_name, data, kwargs):
# do something with the received payload
self.log("Sending back to mqtt")
self.mqtt_publish("monitor/gg-mon", "100", qos = 0, retain = True)
I don’t get any error message, but the app is not listening on the mqtt topic.
Ive tried just a simple app like this and doesn’t work either.
import appdaemon.plugins.mqtt.mqttapi as mqtt
class mqtttest(mqtt.Mqtt):
def initialize(self):
self.set_namespace('mqtt')
self.mqtt_publish("monitor/gg-mon", "100", qos = 0, retain = True)
I have spent many hours trying to figure this out.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
Thanks for your help.
The client_topics indentation looks faulty. Can you take it in two steps or one step and try again.
Regards
Thank you @Odianosen25
but it didn’t work,
import appdaemon.plugins.mqtt.mqttapi as mqtt
class mqtttest(mqtt.Mqtt):
def initialize(self):
self.set_namespace('mqtt')
self.handle = self.listen_event(self.mqtt_callback, 'MQTT_MESSAGE')
def mqtt_callback(self, event_name, data, kwargs):
# do something with the received payload
self.log("Sending back to mqtt")
self.mqtt_publish("monitor/gg-mon", "100", qos = 0, retain = True)
Mqtt broker
I published a message to trigger the callback but no success
Any other idea?
Thanks
You have double namespace set to mqtt. Not sure that affects it, but pls remove 1. Did you make the change in the appdaemon.yaml file?
Yes I changed it previously, and still not working.
MQTT:
type: mqtt
namespace: mqtt
client_host: 192.168.68.102
client_id: test
client_password: test
client_topics:
- monitor/#
- monitor/gg-mon/#
- monitor/
- monitor/gg-mon/
I also did a fresh install of hassio and appdaemon on another pc and still couldn’t get it to work.
I appreciate your help.
No it’s still not indented. It should start from the hyphen and move two steps to the right
client_topics:
- monitor/#
Regards
I did a 2 space indent, but after appdaemon restart, it moved back to no space automatically.
I have tried a 4 space indent also.
Automatically? Like seriously? That makes no sense. If it’s not indented, then I wouldn’t expect it to work.
Another option, comment out client_topics, which means it will subscribe to all topics and see if you get anything.
Regards
I commented out and still not working, I have tried to use a different editor to fix the indentation problem but it always change back after appdaemon restart, weird!!.
do you have a simple working app you can share,
I could just try copy and paste see if it works?
Thanks again
Hi @Odianosen25,
I found the problem, well, the source of the problem anyway.
I removed and reinstalled my mqtt broker addons and it worked.
I’m not sure what was wrong, maybe something to do with the with acl and access control list.
Anyways
Thanks for your help and your time.
Oh that’s great. Glad you sorted it out
