Mosquitto MQTT 4.1 doesnt work after update

davew · April 5, 2019, 6:56am

Two hardboot’s of my Pi3 and i’m back in action, like nothing ever happened

planar · April 6, 2019, 9:29pm

I am having no issues with my clients w/o TLS, however my ESP32 that using TLS cannot connect to the MQTT broket 4.1. It is just trying to connect and stucked in the loop, no error message about TLS. When I reboot MQTT broker using hass.io, nothing happens, but whenever I restart HA my ESP32 immediately connects to the broker.

Any idea on how to troubleshoot this issue?

I cannot go back to 4.0 as I have a fresh installation and have no snapshots.

Thanks,
Balazs

Juliean_Galak · April 18, 2019, 4:32pm

So what’s the current status on this? I’ve held off upgrading to 4.1 because of this thread, but wondering about going forward. My main users of MQTT are some Sonoff/Tasmota devices. Just updated them all to 6.5.0 (core 2.3.0), is that sufficient to resolve the issue? Or do I need to do more?

dudester · April 19, 2019, 1:15am

I did get it working in the end, for me there was a collection of slight tweaks needed but I think the main issue was not configuring the ACL files correctly.

dkebler · April 26, 2019, 4:09am

Spend hours in my code thinking something was wrong but it turns out any topic with a dash - in it was causing problems for me. I switched to mosca broker and had no issues. It was also inconsistent. Some packets were sent on to client others no. Too buggy. Will use mosca until there is evidence that mosquitto broker is not broken.

Hi Guys,

did you experience similar problems with mosquitto after the update?
I have a huge issue with connection times. mosquitto added +3 seconds for establishing a connection.

Anyone else have this problem?

dzungpv · April 29, 2019, 6:22pm

I have problem with 4.1 and 4.2 version. I have ALC enable. It work for sometimes and stop working with the same config, full restore with snapshot create when it work not help . It is confuse me. Is there anyway to downgrade hassio mosquitto addon to 4.0 or even 3.0?

Bakko65 · May 2, 2019, 8:37am

youre my hero!
Thanks, it works for me also

macmarty · May 2, 2019, 11:22pm

Thanks for explaining on how to roll back. Going back to version 4 fixed the issue.
I think I will make this my first rule before I update to create a snapshot.

Oleksii_Zelivianskyi · May 6, 2019, 11:46am

I have HA 0.92.2 and I wanted to install Mosquitto broker from official add-ons store, but when I click on “install" button – nothing happens. HA log show no errors related to MQTT install. What can cause installation problem? What should I check?

uss · May 8, 2019, 10:36am

I want to share my experience with Mosquitto 4.1 and 4.2 for that matter.
I lost days trying to make it work, verifying all methods (including downgrading the 0.92). No luck. 4.0 worked fine, 4.1 not. Neither 4.2.
Eventually, I decided to reinstall everything from scratch, system, HA, mosquitto.
I have saved the config files, then rebuild everything by copying the yaml files, step by step (not using the snapshots).
I have created a user for mosquitto and created the ACL files as stated in doc.
Magically, it works.
It looks to me that upgrading HA from version to version, leaves something behind mosquitto doesn’t like.

Cheers,
us

Hi,
After reading the entire thread I’m still struggling with a solution to getting the broker to respond, there are a couple of questions I have that would help in clarifying the issue for me.

regarding the username/password in MQTT Config: I assume that these can be the same as a “user” defined in Home assistant as viable users or is this the user specifically setup for the MQTT broker?
In the documentation there are ambiguous statement regarding the location from /root of the acl.conf & accesscontrollist files. In the forum, mentions are referring to two possible directory locations (1) “/usr/share/hassio/share/mosquitto” where hassio/share/mosquitto don’t exist and would need to be created and (2) what you mention i.e “/share/mosquitto” which one could assume is “/usr/share/mosquitto”
Could you clarify which one is it?

Thank you

guiumb · May 17, 2019, 7:33pm

Hi,

I have a “Home Assistant user” with password: I have used this crential in configuration.yaml MQTT session and add-on config session.
I access /share path from windows PC using Samba add-on on Hassio. You can also use Configuration add-on directly from UI web interface.

Bye

bastero2 · May 18, 2019, 9:33pm

Hi Umberto, Thanks for your assistance. After 2.5 days trying to resolve the issue i eventually got it working.
Cheers

schattenbaum · May 24, 2019, 6:28am

Your hint did it for me!
I’ve tried all the above and in the end, I needed to remove the “-” from my MQTT Topic.
I’ve used to use: “sonoff-cave-lamp” --> stopped working
now with “sonoffCaveLamp” all works fine again…

Thx m8!

Why oh why can’t i get anything above MQTT 4.0 to work I’ve wasted the last 5 nights trying to work it out… I’m getting nothing no partial connections when i try useing MQTT explorer app i can’t connect to the server ?? Downgrade 4.3 to 4.0 and everything works… ive even gone down the root of trying a fresh home assistant install to a spare micro SD card… and i still can’t get it to work

acl.conf

containing…

acl_file /share/mosquitto/accesscontrollist

accesscontrollist

containing…

user [HomeAuto]
topic readwrite #

location on pi…

MQTT SETTINGS, user name HomeAuto has user HomeAuto & Password matching what’s *** below… These are my MQTT settings i have used for the past year with no problems…

on the new install when i try go through integrations to setup MQTT i get an error…

On my main home assistant install (the one that works perfectly with mosquitto 4.0) this is in my configuration.yaml

my setup user names…

DavidFW1960 · June 6, 2019, 10:24pm

Add homeassistant to the accesscontrol list readwrite #

Also if HomeAuto is a ha user you don’t define it as a local user in the broker settings.

Akriss · June 6, 2019, 10:36pm

The square brackets look misplaced/misused.

My user name is not encapsulated as yours is.

Also the MQTT broker take a min. or two to quiet down after a restart. At least my broker does .

3reeman · June 7, 2019, 6:15am

Thanks guys i think this has got me closer i think the brackets where a real school boy error but it still isn’t workinging and again MQTT Explorer (app) isn’t connecting to it and all my lights are unavailable
