ESP32 MQTT not working ?

[Vincenttor]

Hi all,
hope it is in the right forum.

I used to use only esp8266 models but since i wanted to make a led dimmer with more then a few pwm ports i thought of moving up to a esp32 board.
Flashing and everything went alright and the board is running..

I can controll all the pwm ports when entering a http://10.0.0.173/control?cmd=PWM,19,500 command and i get a notice in the logs.
When i want to control it by mqtt ( yes i have the correct subcribed topic ?) then it does not work.

For example i made this small video, at first where you see that a mqtt command is working , this is a esp8266 which responds.

The esp32 does not, only to http commands.
Could this be a bug or ?

Are there any ideas what could be wrong ?

Is there any task configured to send anything to this controller?
If not, then I am not 100% sure it may (re)connect to the broker. (have to look in the code, to see if I already fixed that or not, it was at least an issue once)

Hi thanks for the reply.

I do have a few sensors that send information to the controller which also arrives constantly if this is what you mean with "task" ?
But receiving seems another story.

I have tried another firmware also but seems to be the same , not receiving the mqtt commands that i am trying to send.

Which MQTT Controller are you using, and how is it configured? I can't deduce that from your message or yt.

Here is the settings i have :
i copied everything from the esp8266 which does work so assumed this would do as well.

[Vincenttor]

Is there anyone that has the same "problem" or has a solution, or better see's where and what i am doing wrong ?
Tested other firmware but it seems to be the same thing over and over
Really like to get this working to have some of my lights around the house being controlled

Thanks

Today I've been working on this, without this topic in mind.
See: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/pull/3971
I just created a pull request for it (feature is not done yet, but it does work) so you can try the test build as soon as it is finished to see if it may fix your issue.

thanks allot , i will follow this
