I'm having problems sending/reading data to/from cloudMQTT.

I watched the below video but the gateway UI is different now, so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong with all the latest changes, or doing something else that's wrong. 



Specifically the YouTube video doesn't have client id, or WiFi settings but from what I can gather the client id is anything I want thats unique? I've tried with/without WiFi settings as well with no luck. If I'm already connected to the WiFi, are the settings required? I'm assuming that's if I want MQTT to transmit over a different network?

In the Android app, I can connect, and I subscribe but receive nothing. I've tried subscribing to mcThings/#, as well as mcThings, mcThings/, mcThings/*, #, *

I've attached all my settings.

I tried the MotionSensor app and the MQTT portion wasn't working, so to simplify things I'm trying the below right now.

Class Blinky
    Shared Event GreenLed() RaiseEvent Every 2000 milliSeconds       
        Dim payload As ListOfByte = New ListOfByte
        Dim payString As String = ""
       
        payString = "test payload"
       
        LedGreen = Not LedGreen         
       
        payload.Add(payString)
        Lplan.Publish("mcThings/Testing", payload)       
    End Event 
End Class

Ah, I thought it meant unique as in not being used by someone else, but used by you everywhere. 

I've changed the client id to be different on the Android device (added a few digits to the end), restarted the app and reconnected in addition to restarting the gateway/module program,  but I'm still not receiving anything after 10 minutes.

Still no luck =(

I removed the client id from the gateway configuration, and added a sub to mcThings/Testing in the Android app. 

I also tried rebooting the CloudMQTT server, this is the startup details that appear under the server log

1507051319: mosquitto version 1.4.10 terminating
1507051319: mosquitto version 1.4.10 (build date Thu, 25 Aug 2016 15:32:03 +0100) starting

1507051319: Opening ipv4 listen socket on port 10933.
1507051406: New connection from my.phones.ip.address on port 10933.

I can see my phone connecting in the server logs, but I don't my computer (mcGateway) connect. 

I was able to get it to work by typing in the IP address of the cloudmqtt server and power cycling the unit.

I then manually inputted my DNS server as suggested and power cycled it, and now the gateway will no longer connect in mcStudio. 

It can see it in the device list, but pressing the connect button does nothing. It just clicks, no thinking or anything.

I've tried uninstalling studio, including deleting the mcThings folder, rebooting the computer, as well as holding the reset button on the gateway, and it still won't connect.

It looks like somehow entering the DNS IP address has broken my ability to connect, and I can't figure out how to reset it.  I can no longer do anything with the modules.

Note - The gateway is on the most recent software versions

Glad to hear you've got it working @babramovitch. Thanks for following up!
