Hey everyone! I wanted to share my experience with integrating the Smart Lock 3.0 Pro into my MQTT setup, which I hope can help others facing similar challenges.
I recently acquired the Smart Lock 3.0 Pro and was keen to integrate it into my existing smart home ecosystem. My MQTT broker runs on a non-standard port, specifically 1884, which I knew upfront might pose some configuration hurdles.
Initially, I encountered some difficulties. The lock wouldn’t connect to my MQTT broker, and I kept getting error codes 8B and 8D. After some research and troubleshooting, I realized that the app didn’t clearly specify how to input a non-default port. Here’s what I did to resolve it:
-
Correct Port Configuration: In the Smart Lock app, I entered the MQTT broker’s IP address followed by the port number. For example,
192.168.178.18:1884. It was crucial to include the port number without any spaces. -
Double-Check Network Settings: I ensured that my router wasn’t blocking port 1884 and that the MQTT broker was correctly configured to accept connections on this port.
-
Reboot and Test: After making these changes, I rebooted both the lock and the MQTT broker. The lock successfully connected, and I could monitor its status and control it via MQTT.
This experience taught me the importance of meticulous configuration, especially when dealing with non-default ports. It also highlighted the value of community support—without some helpful tips from this forum, I might still be troubleshooting!
If anyone else is struggling with similar issues, I’d be happy to share more details or troubleshoot together. Happy integrating!
