Adafruit MQTT

Post by wileye »

Not sure if this is the right area, but there were other MQTT questions in here.

I have been using the Adafruit MQTT library with the Huzzah ESP8266 with a Mosquitto broker (1.4.14) running on a raspi. This then communicates with OpenHab2. This works very well and I like the Huzzah part.
I have a need for more IO at one location and plan to use an Arduino Mega with an ethernet shield. (I plan to use most of the analog and 10-15 of the discrete inputs).

I expected to use my code from the the ESP applications with minor changes (Ethernet instead of wifi library, etc.) and all the IO stuff for the inputs.
The first test I ran was just a sending a single number "25".

The Mega connects to ethernet and I can ping it fine. It hangs at the “MQTT Connect” function. The error code is "1", "connection refused, unacceptable protocol version".

I have used MQTT Spy to watch Mosquitto. From what I can tell, I don’t see anything suspicious. I can inject messages for the tag and they show up in Openhab.

Thanks for any help.

The program:

//Mega Adafruit MQTT_Home_rev 0
// Update: 6/09/18

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <Adafruit_MQTT.h>
#include <Adafruit_MQTT_Client.h>

// MAC address for your Ethernet shield
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xBE, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xfD };

//0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED original
//0xDE, 0xED, 0xBA, 0xFE, 0xFE, 0xED other

}
Serial.println("MQTT Connected!");
