@kl3m3n Hi!
Thanks, that makes sense.

Regarding Ethernet connection, does it follow the steps outlined in Fig.7 Direct device pairing procedure of the manual?. Is that how it connects to the designer tool too?.

@kl3m3n Hi!
It occurred to me last night, can you have ALP 3 and 4 instead of LALP 1 and 2?. Simpler?.

@kl3m3n Hi!
This is my first time playing with mosquitto so I started it with a simple one listener, no security, log everything setup, so mosquitto.conf contains:

allow_anonymous true
connection_messages true
listener 61000
log_dest file C:/Program Files/mosquitto/log.txt
log_type all
per_listener_settings false
socket_domain ipv4

Since I had already configured gui-o to connect to the gui-o designer over Ethernet on port 61000 I tried to connect to mosquitto using the same settings and that's when the error pops up:

1676564413: New connection from 10.0.0.11:42662 on port 61000.
1676564413: Client <unknown> disconnected due to malformed packet.

Even after going over the manual several times I am still not sure why it happens, there is no more detail in the log file.
What is the protocol detail for an Ethernet connection?.

Then I tried with the Standalone IoT aka Add IoT (Create device).
After entering the same mosquitto server & port it connects and creates both UUID topics, even without having SSL (?), with or without specifying a user and/or client id.
So I should be able to simulate an IoT device just by having a mosquitto client as a master pub, as in Fig.8 in the manual.
More to come.

@DenesL Hi!
The error is with WiFi.

With Standalone IoT, it does connect and adding a device creates the 2 UUIDs described in the manual (with or without user and/or client id).

@kl3m3n Hi!
It works like a charm!

@kl3m3n Hi!
I asked my wife to try the calendar (she has smaller fingers) but same thing happens to her, the widget keeps picking the date before the one she taps on.

@kl3m3n Hi!
I noticed gui-o version 1.0.41 is out, does it contain the fixes?

Hi!
I have setup a mosquitto 2.0.15 broker on Win11 and pub/sub from other PCs works fine but when I try to connect with gui-o I get:

1676564413: New connection from 10.0.0.11:42662 on port 61000.
1676564413: Client <unknown> disconnected due to malformed packet.

Any hints appreciated.

Thanks,
Denes

@kl3m3n Hi!
It sounds like a good solution but when I tried to test it I got:

Invalid component parameter LALP (lb3)

running gui-o 1.0.40

@kl3m3n Hi!
Nope.

The problem is that ALP 1 aligns the text to the left of the center point i.e. the text ends at the center point, so the texts only seem to left align when they all have equal length (using monospaced fonts).

You would have to do a lot of trial an error positioning for each widget to get all texts to appear to line up on the left while ending at a different center point. And then reposition the background boxes too. Same issue with any other ALP value.

I hope I am being clear. I believe things look better when aligned, either on the left edge or the right one (same issue, just on the other side of the center point).
