How to set ClientID fo MQTT.

[MarkIngle]

I am not able to connect to my MQTT broker (Mosquitto). But it appears to be related to the clientid setting in the ESP EASY code. The following message is being displayed in the serial monitor:

INIT : Booting Build nr:78
WIFI : Connecting... 1
WIFI : Connected!
INIT : I2C
MQTT : Failed to connected to broker
MQTT : Failed to connected to broker
INIT : Boot OK
INIT : Normal boot

I found the following code that is generating the error message:

// MQTT needs a unique clientname to subscribe to broker
String clientid = "ESPClient";
clientid += Settings.Unit;
String subscribeTo = "";
.
.
if (MQTTresult)
{
log = F("MQTT : Connected to broker");
addLog(LOG_LEVEL_INFO, log);
subscribeTo = Settings.MQTTsubscribe;
subscribeTo.replace("%sysname%", Settings.Name);
MQTTclient.subscribe(subscribeTo);
log = F("Subscribed to: ");
log += subscribeTo;
addLog(LOG_LEVEL_INFO, log);
break; // end loop if succesfull
}
else
{
log = F("MQTT : Failed to connected to broker");
addLog(LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, log);

Is it possible to change the clientid within ESP Easy?

looks if the question is for the devs...
as long as this is in the code this way...:

clientid += Settings.Unit;

Yeah the code is fine....I am just learning and misunderstood the root of my problem. This post can be deleted.
