I have a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with ioBroker (Raspbian light Stretch) as an MQTT broker and Wemos D1 ESP 8266 with a test script. Both devices are connected to the network via Wi-Fi.
Good news:
1) I can send the MQTT signal from the phone (myMQTT apps) and it will be displayed in the ioBroker logs (the phone is connected to Wi-Fi, MicroTik).
I can send an MQTT signal from my laptop (connected to Wi-Fi or ethernet).
I can send a successful MQTT signal from a Debian virtual server (on vmware).
2) Wemos D1 successfully connects to the test server test.mosquitto.org.
The bad news:
Wemos D1 does not want to connect to ioBroker on the local network and reports the error "Attempting MQTT connection ... failed, rc = -2 try again in 5 seconds".
Why all devices except Wemos D1 ESP 8266 successfully connect to mqtt broker?
Could it be the case in the firewall?
Tell me, please, what should I do to solve this problem.
/*
Basic ESP8266 MQTT example
This sketch demonstrates the capabilities of the pubsub library in combination
with the ESP8266 board/library.
It connects to an MQTT server then:
- publishes "hello world" to the topic "outTopic" every two seconds
- subscribes to the topic "inTopic", printing out any messages
it receives. NB - it assumes the received payloads are strings not binary
- If the first character of the topic "inTopic" is an 1, switch ON the ESP Led,
else switch it off
It will reconnect to the server if the connection is lost using a blocking
reconnect function. See the 'mqtt_reconnect_nonblocking' example for how to
achieve the same result without blocking the main loop.
To install the ESP8266 board, (using Arduino 1.6.4+):
- Add the following 3rd party board manager under "File -> Preferences -> Additional Boards Manager URLs":
http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
- Open the "Tools -> Board -> Board Manager" and click install for the ESP8266"
- Select your ESP8266 in "Tools -> Board"

UPDATE:
I did not find where you can change or disable listen port 1883 tcp6.
But I managed to establish a connection between the devices by replacing the Mikrotik router with Keenetic.
Now we need to figure out what's wrong with the settings of the router.
Your screenshot:
shows that ioBroker is listening on the IPv4 loopback interface (127.0.0.1) for ports 9000 and 9001, and on a tcp6 (IPv6) interface for ports 8081, 8082 and 1883.
That means it's only reachable via IPv4 from programs running on the same server as it, or from programs running on computers capable of speaking IPv6.
The ESP8266 is not capable of speaking IPv6.
You need to reconfigure ioBroker to listen on 0.0.0.0:mqtt so that IPv4 software can reach it.

i trying to acheive some home automation with esp 32. my project is like following
i have several end points with esp 8266 acting likes slave switches sending Id datas to an esp 32 who is my gateway.
both slaves (esp8266) and master gateway (esp 32, are communicating
with espnow library
the gateway should be connected to an mqtt server ( rasperry pi) who
dispatches automation command depending on endpoint Id.
For now i succesfully have communication between esp8266 slaves and esp 32 gateway

The code works well, when i trigger one of my slaves i receive the message print it in serial an blink 3 times
But when i uncomment the part about connecting to my home router and my mqtt broker i lost the 'On DataRecv' callback
So my question is "Is it possible to have an Esp working as espnow gateway to gather messages and at the same time being connected to my home router for mqtt publishing ?"
If yes i would appreciate some help to implement it.
Thanks a lot.

re:
https://www.electrosoftcloud.com/en/esp32-wifi-and-esp-now-simultaneously/
My problem:
I have a Raspberry Pi, and I have installed the Mosquitto MQTT broker on it. My objective is to make 2 MQTT clients communicate over the Mosquitto broker, so I have installed the code below on two ESP8266 (WeMos D1 mini)
and I have created this MQTT command: mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.1.20 -t /wassim/led -m "on".
So, when I connect only one ESP client, I see the message "on" in the serial monitor. But when I connect the second ESP client, I can't see any message on the serial monitor... (But if on the terminal of the Raspberry, then I can see everything. On the clients I can't see anything). The code:
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <MQTTClient.h>
float temp;
float lm;
String aw="";
const char* host = "192.168.1.20";
const char* ssid = "THOMSON1121";
const char* password = "Wassim";
WiFiClient net;
MQTTClient mqtt;
void connect();
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.println();
Serial.println("Booting...");
WiFi.mode(WIFI_AP_STA);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
mqtt.begin(host, net);
connect();
if(mqtt.subscribe("/wassim/led")) {
Serial.println("Subscription Valid !");
}
Serial.println("Setup completed...");
}
void loop() {
if (!mqtt.connected()) {
connect();
}
mqtt.loop();
delay(3000);
}
void connect() {
while(WiFi.waitForConnectResult() != WL_CONNECTED) {
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
Serial.println("WiFi connection failed. Retry.");
}
Serial.print("Wifi connection successful - IP-Address: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
while (!mqtt.connect(host)) {
Serial.print(".");
}
Serial.println("MQTT connected!");
}
void messageReceived(String topic, String payload, char * bytes, unsigned int length) {
Serial.print("incoming: ");
Serial.print(topic);
Serial.print(" - ");
Serial.print(payload);
Serial.println();
}
The change from one client to another is if(mqtt.subscribe("/wassim/tmp")).
MQTT is a 'message bus' application....in order to have multiple 'subscribers' receive the same message that is being put on the bus by a 'publisher', they both have to subscribe to the same topic...or at least enough of the topic + wildcard...in order to get sent that published message. You only have one of your two clients listening to the topic that your 'mosquitto_pub' command is sending out. For it to receive, you either specify the full topic (mqtt.subscribe("/wassim/led")), or a wildcard to pick up all the 'wassim' messages sent out (mqtt.subscribe("/wassim/#")).
I'm using Arduino Uno and Wi-Fi shield. I'm trying to implement MQTT protocol for communication and I tried two libraries for Arduino. First one is Knolleary's PubSubClient: http://pubsubclient.knolleary.net/ . I modified original example a little bit to use WiFi module instead of ethernet. Sending works but not every time (sometimes, the message is sent and sometimes not). But receiving via callback function doesn't work at all.
Here is my code:
/*
Basic MQTT example with Authentication
- connects to an MQTT server, providing username
and password
- publishes "hello world" to the desired topic
- subscribes to the desired topic
*/
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <PubSubClient.h>
char ssid[] = "[DELETED]"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "[DELETED]"; // your network password
int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS; // the Wifi radio's status
// Update these with values suitable for your network.
IPAddress server(85, 119, 83, 194);
WiFiClient WifiClient;
void callbackFunc(char* topic, byte* payload, unsigned int length) {
Serial.println("test message received");
/*Serial.println();
Serial.println("=============== MESSAGE RECEIVED ================================");
Serial.print("Topic: ");
Serial.print(topic);
Serial.println();
Serial.println((const char *) payload);*/
}
PubSubClient client(server, 1883, callbackFunc, WifiClient);
void setup()
{
delay(2000);
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Starting....");
Serial.println("Initializing Wifi...");
// check for the presence of the shield:
if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_SHIELD) {
Serial.println("WiFi shield not present");
}
// attempt to connect using WPA2 encryption:
Serial.println("Attempting to connect to WPA network...");
status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
// if you're not connected, stop here:
if (status != WL_CONNECTED) {
Serial.println("Couldn't get a wifi connection");
while(true);
}
// If you are connected, print out success message
else
Serial.println("Connected to network");
if (client.connect("arduinoClient")) {
Serial.println("Connected to server! Sending message...");
client.publish("randy/test","hello world");
client.subscribe("randy/test");
Serial.println("Sent!");
}
else
{
Serial.println("ERROR: Cannot connect to MQTT server!");
Serial.println(client.state());
}
}
void loop()
{
client.loop();
delay(1000);
if (!client.connected())
{
if(!client.connect("arduinoClient"))
{
Serial.println("ERROR: Cannot connect to MQTT server!");
Serial.println(client.state());
}
else
{
client.subscribe("randy/test");
Serial.println("INFO: reconnected!");
}
}
}
As you can see, I'm using http://test.mosquitto.org/ for testing. I'm also using mosquitto on Ubuntu where I'm subscribed to the same topic and from where (another terminal window) I'm publishing to the same topic. Here is the picture of both windows:
As you can see, "hello world" message from Arduino is received successfully (but not every time), and when I publish "bla" message from another window, it's successfully received on mosquitto (on image) but NOT on Arduino. Is there something wrong with my code or? I found similar problem here: Arduino Knolleary PubSubClient will publish messages but can't receive them
It's worth noticing that it keeps getting reconnected all the time. As you can see, in loop() I put a part of code which will connect and subscribe again if connection is lost. On Serial Monitor I get "INFO: Reconnected!" message every 2-3 seconds.
Adafruit library
Then I tried the Adafruit library, but it won't connect at all! I tried with test.mosquitto.org and with io.adafruit.com from their example, but I just keep getting "Connection failed!" error. I tried making many changes and combinations but no luck so far. Once I managed to get "Failed to subscribe" instead of "Connection failed" but this was only once and next time with the same code I get "Connection failed" again.
Here's my code:
/*
Basic MQTT example with Authentication
- connects to an MQTT server, providing username
and password
- publishes "hello world" to the topic "outTopic"
- subscribes to the topic "inTopic"
*/
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <PubSubClient.h>
char ssid[] = "[DELETED]"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "[DELETED]"; // your network password
int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS; // the Wifi radio's status
// Update these with values suitable for your network.
IPAddress server(85, 119, 83, 194);
WiFiClient WifiClient;
void callbackFunc(char* topic, byte* payload, unsigned int length) {
Serial.println("test message received");
/*Serial.println();
Serial.println("=============== MESSAGE RECEIVED ================================");
Serial.print("Topic: ");
Serial.print(topic);
Serial.println();
Serial.println((const char *) payload);*/
}
PubSubClient client(server, 1883, callbackFunc, WifiClient);
void setup()
{
delay(2000);
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Starting....");
Serial.println("Initializing Wifi...");
// check for the presence of the shield:
if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_SHIELD) {
Serial.println("WiFi shield not present");
}
// attempt to connect using WPA2 encryption:

status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
// if you're not connected, stop here:
if (status != WL_CONNECTED) {
Serial.println("Couldn't get a wifi connection");
while(true);
}
// Ff you are connected, print out success message
else
Serial.println("Connected to network");
if (client.connect("arduinoClient")) {
Serial.println("Connected to server! Sending message...");
client.publish("randy/test","hello world");
client.subscribe("randy/test");
Serial.println("Sent!");
}
else
{
Serial.println("ERROR: Cannot connect to MQTT server!");
Serial.println(client.state());
}
}
void loop()
{
client.loop();
delay(1000);
if (!client.connected())
{

Serial.println("ERROR: Cannot connect to MQTT server!");
Serial.println(client.state());
}
else
{
client.subscribe("randy/test");
Serial.println("INFO: reconnected!");
}
}
}
Any idea what's wrong with those libraries or my code?
As mentioned in the comments
When using example code on public brokers make sure you change the client id to something random as the odds of clashing with somebody else are pretty high. Because client ids have to be unique else they will cause a reconnection storm
I'm trying to send information from the arduino board to my computer through the Wi-Fi network.
for my project's purposes it has to be a UDP connection
I use the "Send and Receive UDP String" example (http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/WiFiSendReceiveUDPString)
with a few changes:
#include <SPI.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiUdp.h>
int status = WL_IDLE_STATUS;
char ssid[] = "itay_net"; // your network SSID (name)
char pass[] = "0527414540"; // your network password (use for WPA, or use as key for WEP)
unsigned int localPort = 50505; // local port to listen on
IPAddress remote_ip(192, 168, 1, 100);
unsigned int remote_port = 50505;
char ReplyBuffer[] = "acknowledged"; // a string to send back
WiFiUDP Udp;
void setup() {
//Initialize serial and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
}
// check for the presence of the shield:
if (WiFi.status() == WL_NO_SHIELD) {
Serial.println("WiFi shield not present");
// don't continue:
while(true);
}
// attempt to connect to Wifi network:
while ( status != WL_CONNECTED) {
Serial.print("Attempting to connect to WPA SSID: ");
Serial.println(ssid);
// Connect to WPA/WPA2 network:
status = WiFi.begin(ssid, pass);
// wait 10 seconds for connection:
delay(10000);
}
// you're connected now, so print out the data:
Serial.print("You're connected to the network");
delay(10000);
printWifiStatus();
Serial.println("\nStarting connection to server...");
// if you get a connection, report back via serial:
Udp.begin(localPort);
}
void loop() {
int bite_send;
Udp.beginPacket(remote_ip, remote_port);
bite_send = Udp.write("hello");
Udp.endPacket();
Serial.println("the packet was sent");
Serial.println(bite_send);
delay(1000);
}
void printWifiStatus() {
// print the SSID of the network you're attached to:
Serial.print("SSID: ");
Serial.println(WiFi.SSID());
// print your WiFi shield's IP address:
IPAddress ip = WiFi.localIP();
Serial.print("IP Address: ");
Serial.println(ip);
// print the received signal strength:
long rssi = WiFi.RSSI();
Serial.print("signal strength (RSSI):");
Serial.print(rssi);
Serial.println(" dBm");
}
It compiles and connects to the network just fine.
the only problem is that I can't tell if the packet was sent because I see no trace of it on Wireshark.
I also wrote a socket on java that listens to the port (50505) and should display the message from the packet, but it didn't work either.
(I can copy the java code here but i can assure you that it is not the problem 'cause I tested it with a different java server and it worked, so the problem should be on the Arduino side)
a few details to narrow it down:
I believe the "remote ip" is correct but even if it isn't - I still should have seen it in the Wireshark, so it can't be the problem.
I should mention that the Wi-Fi shield works, I successfully sent pings and ran other examples (such as SimpleWebServerWifi).
I'm using an original Arduino Uno R3 board and an original Wi-Fi shield.
The arduino IDE is the newest version.
I updated the Wi-Fi shield with the newest update I found on GitHub.
I also ran the same "Send and Receive UDP String" code (with the necessary changes) on my Ethernet shield and it did work.
I don't know what else to try - please help.
any help will be appreciated.
Itay
I dont think you have a reply buffer packet. google arduino wifisendrecieve and you will see the example they have that has a reply packet labeled as 'acknowledged'. Hope this helps

i get a WiFi shield not present. any ideas on how to properly connect it?
Thank You!
The products that you listed seem to be redundant. Specifically, ~/11361 is an all-in-one arduino dev. board + Ethernet but no wireless (i.e. ethernet connection is via a cable), while ~/11287 is a WiFi shield that is used on a generic Arduino board and connects to the internet.
The problem might be that using 11287 as a shield on 11361 leads to conflicts? I don't know, but the link http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/WiFi has the following comment:
The WiFi library is very similar to the Ethernet library, and many of
the function calls are the same.
which makes me a little suspect.
Try the shield (11287) on a standard Arduino board.
