Failed to start Energenie ener314rt MQTT client - If ERR! MQTT code: 'ECONNREFUSED', after 7 attempts #62

genestealer · 2023-12-15T17:20:17Z

I note, if the MQTT server is unavailable, such as it's rebooting or temporarily offline, then the mqtt-energenie-ener314rt.service will exit after trying to connect 7 times and must be restarted.

Can we: extended this to 100, make it infinite, or logarithmically increase the time between retries after the first 7 or so tries?

Note, this is why I thought the discovery messages were not being sent regularly. It was actually the service exiting after trying to connect. See #60

Achronite · 2023-12-15T17:48:12Z

That must be the default; if you want to change the behaviour you can modify your mqtt_options in your config.json file.

genestealer · 2023-12-15T21:35:48Z

I tried setting reconnectPeriod to 5 mins (120000) but cannot find anything to set infinite reconnections

genestealer · 2023-12-15T22:05:55Z

I note, you also have to set the connectTimeout to greater than reconnectPeriod. Else it fails.

I may be missing something but I'm struggling to see where in your .js application the exiting is occurring.

As from a simplistic point of view. I would look to try and remove the exit criteria, so as the .js application attempts to indefinitely reconnect.

genestealer · 2023-12-15T23:51:59Z

Found issue was with systemd service, PR raised: #63

robertsLando · 2024-01-24T09:35:31Z

The issue with the reconnect period and connect timeout should have been fixed now on mqttjs 5.3.5. Any feedback would be welcome

Achronite · 2024-01-24T09:47:12Z

@genestealer Are you OK to test if I bump the dependency?

Happy to test, sorry been away from this for a few weeks and feel like I have forgotten things.
Sorry to sound stupid, do I just need to edit "package.json" 'dependencies' and set MQTT to 5.3.5 and run npm install again?

@robertsLando Thank you, I have removed the connectTimeout & reconnectPeriod from my mqtt_options.json

@genestealer Still not working?

Tested, MQTT 5.3.5 is working great. Yes it's working.

Thanks for your feedback 🙏🏼

Achronite · 2024-02-06T16:49:54Z

@genestealer Do we still need your changes to the service?

genestealer · 2024-02-06T19:43:06Z

@Achronite No, MQTT 5.3.5 fixed the issue as far as I can tell.

Achronite · 2024-02-10T10:56:33Z

@robertsLando Does MQTT.js really require node.js v18.2+ ?

raspbian 9 doesn't support v18 (GLIBC_2.28 required)

robertsLando · 2024-02-12T08:06:01Z

@robertsLando Does MQTT.js really require node.js v18.2+ ?

Only tests require node 18+ but it works also with older nodejs versions
