MQTT not responding

[marcosacchetti]

When I subscribe to debug channel the ESP send me, I suppose, the help message, but I don't receive anything on all status channels and when I send something to set values nothing happens. Even the service channel seems dead. I've tried with different brokers but nothing. Any idea?

[marcosacchetti]

I solved.

[gamblor999]

how did you solve I have the same thing?

[Stephan296]

I have the same problem....

[marcosacchetti]

I’ve tried different brokers and now it works.
I'm using this one: https://www.beebotte.com/

Thx @marcosacchetti . How did you set it up?

@marcosacchetti Do you know this error when compiling MHI-SPI2ESP:

[marcosacchetti]

I've never found that error compiling... I'm sorry, I can't help you.

[Stephan296]

I looks like there something wrong with the script. Also with beebotte i don't get any updates.... it looks like that the spi doesn't work right.

[marcosacchetti]

But I remember that I had a problem with the last version of ArduinoJson library and I needed to do download an old one.

[Stephan296]

I know that problem, i have used a 5.1 version, can try to download another older one...

[marcosacchetti]

sometimes it disconnects from the broker but I have a bad connection to the internet, so in my case, the cause could be this

[marcosacchetti]

I'm trying to do the same with an esp32 without Arduino; if I will succeed, I will let you know.

[Stephan296]

that would be perfect!!

[Stephan296]

@marcosacchetti could you only compile the file for me please? To see where the problem is....
