MQTT not working after update to 0.43.0

Installation

Hi all,
I just updated to 0.43.0 and MQTT is not working anymore with HA.

I got this message in the log:

Mosquitto seems running fine

Any ideas?

It seems that your system has trouble to install the dependency. Try (in your venv if needed):

$ pip3 install --upgrade paho-mqtt==1.2.2

Thanks a lot @fabaff. It worked!

I am getting this error. Any ideas?

Collecting paho-mqtt==1.2.2
Using cached paho-mqtt-1.2.2.tar.gz
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

I had that error too, I fixed it by installing locales

apt-get install locales

then

locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8

and finally

dpkg reconfigure locales

Hope this helps.

I tried that but did not work.

I had to go into the py file and change the paho-mqtt requirement from 1.2.2 to 1.2.3. Everything is working now. Thanks

This worked for me, I changed it in the file ./components/mqtt/init.py

I searched for it with sudo find -iname “*.py” | xargs grep -i mqtt

1.2.2 would work better than mqtt.

my mqtt has stopped working after the last update (0.47 I think) and I get the errors below:

The following errors have been logged this session:

I have tried fabaff’s suggestions but that hasn’t worked. Also testing mqtt in putty gives me error codes too. I’ve re-installed both Hassbian and mosquitto from scratch but get the same errors.

pi@hassbian:~ $ mosquitto_sub -d -u username -P password -t “dev/test”
Error: Connection refused
