How To Configure Service for Use With Rtldavis

[gary-hammer]

I tried configuring the service to pull a few values from an MQTT feed.
When I did this, rtldavis was terminated.
I'm going to attach the service config and the logs for the issue.

Certain this should work, but unsure why this happened.

You are getting a rc of 5 from the connect. This means not authorized. It looks like MQTTSubscribe thinks that the userid is not set, but a password is set. What is set? I don’t need the actual values...
Looks like tis code could be improved.

Well, I have password = None
To match the username.

But, no matter, I set a username and password and it runs.
Now, I just need to set the time window wider as all the packets are being rejected

Nov 03 12:15:27 lts weewxd[6070]: weewx[6070] INFO user.MQTTSubscribe: (Service) TopicManager ignoring record outside of interval 1667492126.000000 1667492128.000000 1667492125.817981 'barometer': '30.424', 'dateTime': '1667492125.8179815', 'inHumidity': '40.0', 'inTemp': '74.8', 'usUnits': '1'

Got it by setting
ignore_start_time = True
ignore_end_time = True

Don't know why use server time did not work though.

[gary-hammer]

So, under [[topics]] I set use_server_datetime = True
Still seeing the same ignoring record logs.

Yeah, unfortunately the time ‘window’ was not the best implementation… Maybe someday it will get redone.

I really appreciate your follow up comments. Hopefully it will help someone in the future.
