mc-Gateway / Re: Sensors Stop Sending MQTT Messages and have to reboot mcGW to start sending again.
« on: February 06, 2018, 09:50:34 am »
Here are some recent updates…
As I mention above, after upgrading the mcGW to the new Host & application firmware I lost wi-fi connectivity on the mcGW and was forced to use the Ethernet cable. Since then all the sensors have been reporting at their expected intervals without any lockups.
Maybe NorGer can confirm this if he can disconnect the wi-fi connection and use Ethernet connection instead and see if issue is resolved as well?
A few more details that maybe worth mentioning. In the past I would get up the morning after leaving the sensors on all night and 100% of the time there would be at least two sensors that stopped reporting over MQTT. However, the beacons seemed to keep reporting. Because only two of the four sensors would stop reporting, I suspected maybe a bug in my script code so I would open mcStudio, connect to the mcGW, connect to the module and run the debugger only to find the code working properly. I would then also begin to see the MQTT messages to start reporting again.
Maybe there is some issue with wi-fi connection and MQTT locking up and when I connect to the gateway via mcStudio; somehow that clears it up. Just thinking out loud. Any suggestions?
