pi@domoticz:~ $ sudo pip3 install paho-mqtt
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple
Requirement already satisfied: paho-mqtt in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages (2.1.0)

Perhaps a conflict sudo versus not sudo?
I assume also that all is using python3 (pip3 vs pip).

[MennoLabs]

Nope:

pi@domoticz:~ $ service roomba start

In the mean time, these "Please install paho-mqtt 'pip install paho-mqtt' to use this library" lines filled my daemon.log to the point where the complete disk was full.

Maybe some symlink is in order to point the service to the proper location?

[MennoLabs]

My paho-mqtt is in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/paho (Raspbian Buster), does that offer a clue?
Python version 3.7.3.

[FilipDem]

Hi,
I am also using Python 3.7.3 running on Buster.
paho is also installed in the same folder as you mentioned.

Did you already tried using the command prompt? Open a python3 prompt and use "paho.mqtt.client".
I also assume you installed Domoticz "natively"... not using a Docker container, right?

Native, no Dockers.

This means that it is not installed correctly. Nothing to do with Domotica or the plugin

[MennoLabs]

I never meant to blame either the plugin or Domoticz, but I do wonder why it's not working as intended when installing with sudo pip3 install paho-mqtt, as per instructions?

[FilipDem]

I know. No worry. Perhaps uninstall and reinstall... Op di 9 jul. 2024 22:32 schreef MennoLabs ***@***.***>:

Just tried that (while you were typing your reply ;-)), no success.

[FilipDem]

I would advise to "google" on sth like "paho.mqtt.client not found"... I see there are several people with a similar problem as you... Op di 9 jul 2024 om 22:36 schreef MennoLabs ***@***.***>:

Yes, tried that, but the lucky tip has not yet materialised from that search.
Will try some more tomorrow.
