Hi,
lately I have problems, connecting to the VRM MQTT-broker using MQTT Explorer. I am running Venus OS v3.52 on raspberry pi. In Remote Console I have the following settings:
Network Security Profile: Unsecured
Remote support: on
VRM online portal - VRM portal: Full
Use secure connection (HTTPS): on
Services - MQTT Access: on
I can login to the local MQTT broker without problems.
If I change e.g. the broker address to mqtt119.victron… then MQTT Explorer doesn’t connect and gives a timeout. Does anyone have an idea, what the problem could be?
Yes, tried that also. But I also don’t see for example the #SYS topics from the broker itself. These should always be visible…
But thanks for the idea.
The internet MQTT servers no longer grant very wide subscriptions, such as # , N/# or N/+/system/0/Ac/ConsumptionOnOutput/L1/Power . Instead, subscriptions have to be placed per installation, like N/<portal ID>/# , or N/<portal ID>/system/0/Ac/ConsumptionOnOutput/+/Power .
If you add N//# this to your MQTT Explorer under Advance the you will get all the infomation you need.
Hi Jan,
thanks for the tip. Actually, I searched again for my problem and found some hints to the mqtt-config file on my venusOS and found the topics to link there also. That matches perfectly with your suggestions and with this information I could connect successfully to the VRM-mqtt-broker! Thanks again, very helpful
