there is a problem I am facing that when I tried to connect server on port 8884 it gives me error Attempting MQTT connection…failed, rc = -4 try again in 5 seconds but the connection is successfully built on port 8883 I don’t understand the reason behind this kindly help me to to over come this problem . I am totally new with mqtt protocol and try to figure out how to make web based system to automate farm using esp32 or esp8266 ,HiveMQ server and Django for backend development also give me some suggestions how to do complete this task
The code I am using provided by the HiveMQ community
