Re: [paho-dev] Lua Client - attempt to index field 'client' (a nil value)
I forwarded the original forum discussion to Andy Gelme, hopefully he's following this list too, I know he has been busy with other projects.

Great to know you have it working. We know about a bunch of the things that need to be improved, but you're right to highlight a few of the specifics which are device-specific - they may not really belong in the Eclipse version of this library. We should take another look at that.

As you use the Lua client, feel free to raise issues or submit patches via our Bugzilla, the more folks who help and collaborate around the code, the better it can become! :-)

Hi Ian,

I got it working but it was a bit of trial and error :-) because I am not experienced in Lua as such and how things are organized/working. But it seems to me that Micasaverde Vera3 is using the old style module structure and MQTT Client the new module.
I "downgraded" the MQTT Lua client and then everything started to work.

I think MQTT Lua client should be improved both from functionality implementation perspective but also to generalize it as an API. Today have implementations like "isPsp(...)" to check weather the device is a Sony Playstation Portable or not; I think such should be kept as specializations API.

For now I will continue to implement the Vera3 plugin to fetch sensor data and to integrate Emoncms. Will see how much I get into MQTT Lua client and if I can contribute something :-)

Thanks.

Regards
Joacim

Hi Joacim,

unfortunately, we haven't heard from the author of the Lua client for a while.  It could be a problem in the client code.  I'll take a look if I get the chance.  If anyone out there is interested in looking at the Lua client, we'd like to hear from you.

Ian

Hi,

Trying to get MQTT Lua client running on Micasaverde Vera 3 (home automation controller) but get problems.
I am new to Lua so maybe beginner's problem?!

Do you see anything strange?

I would be happy for some ideas on what’s wrong
