we try again guys, desperately looking for a way to exchange values between arduino devices in an easy and fast way maybe.
do you know how to suggest a guide to one of the first programming and easy to do?
ie from one device to another ?!
that is, if I produce as much photovoltaic I have to activate resistance or reduce the load
to subscribe to another device published data here is a code which i modified from @spacefolder code.
/*
MQTT Raw Data to Cayenne Dashboard,
using the great Nick O'Leary's PubSubClient
(Arduino Client for MQTT, https://github.com/knolleary/pubsubclient)
What does it do?
This sketch will attempt to connect to Cayenne MQTT server via Wifi,
subscribe to a "dashboard button" topic, to turn on/off the esp8266 built in led.
Also it will publish temperature readings from a Dallas DS18b20 digital temperature sensor.
In a near future, the esp8266 (NodeMCU v2) should act as a smart thermostat, controlling my central heater/boiler.
It should be possible to remotely check ambient temperature and boiler status using
Cayenne Dashboard and turn the heater on/off (in case I left home in a hurry!, etc.)
Inspired in several tutorials and sketches mashed up, mainly..

#define CLIENT_ID “”
#define CLIENT_ID_SUB “”
tell me what should I enter ?!
#define CLIENT_ID is the id of the subscriber device.
#define CLIENT_ID_SUB is the ID of the device you want to subscribe to.
So #define CLIENT_ID_SUB will be your sender ID and #define CLIENT_ID will be your receiver ID
DEBUG: Attempting MQTT connection…failed, rc=-1 try again in 5 seconds
this is the message that gets me out of error, please can you be more exhaustive in describing the code?
are you using an esp or Arduino device? it is working without any issue on my nodemcu. the code is quite straight forward I guess. what is the thing you are not getting? it first connects to the wifi, next connect to the server. if connected, subscribes to the publishes topic of sender device.
nothing, I can’t as you say, I ask for help, keep giving me the same mistake
which part of the code do you want me to explain. (not the entire code)
I don’t know what the problem is and if it depends on the code, but I posted the error that gives me, so I think it’s an authentication problem
i just tried again the same above code with wemos D1 mini and it worked for me again. which device are you using?
i am using esp8266
can you provide a link to the device.
spiegati meglio. è un nodemcu 12e
it should work on nodemcu without any issue.

nulla…sempre lo stesso errore
have you used two separate client_id here?
certo
try this code and see if you can connect atleast. esp8266-MQTT-v1/esp8266-MQTT-v1.cpp at master · spacefolder/esp8266-MQTT-v1 · GitHub
stesso errore "DEBUG: Attempting MQTT connection…failed, rc=-1 try again in 5 seconds
"
can you atleast connect using the cayenne library? Cayenne-MQTT-Arduino/ESP8266.ino at master · myDevicesIoT/Cayenne-MQTT-Arduino · GitHub
