MQTT seems to not be connecting

I have MQTT enabled on my account and my IHD set up at home. When I run this command there is not data coming through. Am I missing something?

mosquitto_sub -h glowmqtt.energyhive.com -u <username> -P <password> -t SMART/HILD/<mac> -p 1883 -d -v -V mqttv31

  • You're missing the TLS support and the port number is wrong.

     --capath /etc/ssl/certs -p 8883

  • Hi Dougie, tried that but it still is not working:


    mosquitto_sub -h glowmqtt.energyhive.com -u <USERNAME> -P <PW> -t "SMART/HILD/<mac>" --capath /etc/ssl/certs -p 8883 -d -v -V mqttv31

  • Are you using the latest versions of the Mosquitto client programs?

    The stuff in plain old Raspbian/RaspiOS is ancient crap.

  • Hi, I definitely have v2.0.12 installed and I'm hitting https:// but I'm getting a new lookup error:

    pop-os:~$ sudo snap install mosquitto

    mosquitto 2.0.12 from Mosquitto Team (mosquitto✓) installed

    pop-os:~$ mosquitto_sub -h https://glowmqtt.energyhive.com/ -u <UN> -P <PW> -t "SMART/HILD/<MAC>" --capath /etc/ssl/certs -p 8883 -d -v -V mqttv31

    Unable to connect (Lookup error.).


    The error would seem to indicate a DNS issue but I can nslookup with no problem:

    pop-os:~$ nslookup glowmqtt.energyhive.com

    Server:      127.0.0.53

    Address:   127.0.0.53#53

    Non-authoritative answer:

    Name:   glowmqtt.energyhive.com

    Address: 154.51.148.181


    Am I missing something?

  • Try this

     mosquitto_sub -p 8883 --capath /etc/ssl/certs -h glowmqtt.energyhive.com -u "someone@gmail.com" -P somethingsecret -t "SMART/HILD/CAFEDEADBEEF" 


    No protocol needed on the host name.

  • Hi Dougie,


    That seems to be the same as the command I tried on October 17 above and it didn't work. I've tried it again with no dice, the result is the same as on October 17.

  • Solution found:

    There was a '+' symbol in the email address used for my bright credentials which was somehow causing my issues. Jane updated my email address to one without a '+' symbol and all is working as expected.
