nobody?

Has this something to do with windows 7?

Did you ever get this sorted? I've just started trying to use Domoticz, getting the same problem, and it's a bit disconcerting when you fail at the first hurdle! Installed all on a Win10 PC to test before porting to a Raspberry Pi.

Hi,

I'm not that familiar with Windows, but can you check that your MQTT server is running?

If you are using Windows, open up a command prompt and type .
If your server is running, you should be able to see the port 1883.

If you cannot go to Task Manager > Services and start/restart the Mosquitto server from there. If you cannot find it here too, your installation of Mosquitto has not been successful.

If needed find a tutorial at: http://www.steves-internet-guide.com/in ... to-broker/
