mcsMQTT Plugin

[happnatious1]

My mistake. I had the HS URL hard coded while testing remotely. Fixed it in 3.0.9.2 to connect to localhost.

This fixed it for me.
Thank you!

[qoute]Here only see mcsMQTT version .91 in the updater for Linux.[/quote]

Probably a browser refresh or similar issue. The updater control file has 3.0.9.2.

I deleted my HSPI_mcsMQTT.exe and this allowed me to use updater to install it again. It installed and then when I started it everything was as expected. I suggest trying again and if you have an issue then confirm it is exactly the same issue that was posted.

I deleted HSPI_mcsMQTT.exe , i am able to install the plugin but it does not start.

When i wrote this message, I able to install it before too. But was not able to start it..(pending)

edit: restarted HS3 and it is ok now

Question: Do you have the 'Load plug-ins in the background on startup' under the Labs tab disabled?

I have only Export to JSON and Import from JSON lines on my Labs tab

Page refreshed fine a bit ago and updated fine here.

I did post under the HS3 beta section that it appeared that the updater wasn't working correctly earlier today.

This is what I see running HS3 V.423 these days. I have not had issues with V.423 running in Ubuntu Linux.

One of a general plugin issue that has cropped up is lingering plugins running after Homeseer is shut down.

Tested here and the mcsMQTT is shutting down properly after shutting down Homeseer. Used HTop to test.

It is enable.

I'm running 3.0.92 and I see 3.0.94 is available. Even though it looks like 3.0.94 installs the updater keeps saying it's available. here is the log.

Also, I had to move my homeseer VM from Ubuntu to a new Lubuntu install (long story) but now mcsmqtt is complaining that my topic is already subscribed to.

How do I wipe everything and start over?

[Michael McSharry]

The updater status display is not something I can control. As long as you are running the version you desire then that should be good enough. 3.10.10.0 was just uploaded with some nice features. Manual has not been updated yet.

Most information is contained in the HS Device PED with redundancy in the /data/mcsMQTT.db file. To start over you need to remove the mcsMQTT plugin devices either from Device Management of "A"ccept checkbox from mcsMQTT setup. You should also delete the database. You likely can delete all you backup databases in the same folder.

I do not know what you exact message is about subscriptions, but it may be associated with the Discovery radio option. I do not know if Mosquitto complains about being subscribed multiple times. I did not think it did. You may be able to get rid of the message by changing the radio button and then perhaps changing it back again.

I'm unable to get 3.0.10.0 installed, and I think the reason is that you have the wrong filename in your updater:
http://mcssprinklers.com/mcsMQTT_HS3.txt

mcsMQTT,HSPI_MCSMQTT.exe,,3.0.10.0,63,2,mcsSprinklers.com,,mcsMQTT_3_0_10.0.zip,4,Free,Michael McSharry,MCSMQTT,http://mcsSprinklers.com/MQTT.jpg,http://mcsSprinklers.com/HSupdater_mcsMQTT.htm,,

It's referring to http://mcssprinklers.com/mcsMQTT_3_0_10.0.zip, which gives a 404 not found. I think the correct URL is http://mcssprinklers.com/mcsMQTT_3_0_10_0.zip ...

Just upgraded to 3.0.10 from 3.0.9.. Starting the plugin I get 30-40 lines of:

Mar-15 15:49:08 mcsMQTT AddToMQTTSend Key= Line 0 Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid.

Related to new fields being added to database, but I did not get the errors during my testing. I changed now to explicitly test for null fields and added a debug to isolate the problem field if it occurs again. In updater as version 3.0.10.1.
