Blinds connected, but socket error

[throwaway9500]

I’ve almost had enough of setting these blinds up. I regret trying OH as it really was not straight forward. HA has been better, but I ran into this issue when I added one of the blinds control:

1557372709: New client connected from 192.xxx.x.xxx as Living Room 1 (c1, k10).
1557372709: Socket error on client Living Room 1, disconnecting.

What am I doing wrong? I watched the video and the only step I was unable to follow was editing the configuration file because it only had this information in it:

{
“dirsfirst”: false,
“enforce_basepath”: false,
“ignore_pattern”: [
“pycache”
]
}

Also, I added two blinds, is there no way to control them individually? If not, I’ll go back and try to use OH again. My Raspberry Pi is connected via Wifi as I want to save my ethernet ports for other items (I already have 15 items connected via ethernet). I’ve spent 4 nights trying to set this up, it really shouldn’t be that hard.

This sounds like an MQTT error. I use HA, but check out these two links to see if they shed any light.

MQTT Binding 2.4

Hi All Newbie here. Newly installed Raspberry Pi with Openhabian Release 9.6 (Stretch) with MQTT Binding 2.4. I am unable to get my newly build blind control to work (in Openhab) - working 100% when testing it with MQTTfx. Seems my timing is really bad on this. After spending hours on forums it seems like the new MQTT Binding 2.4 is a totally new way of working with MQTT in Openhab2. Needless to say - for a newbie like me this has now gone beyond my understanding and I would appreciate some…

MQTT Arrives in the Modern openHAB 2.x Architecture

Sorry I cannot provide more specific OH help but I have seen posts about MQTT and OH 2.4 and know that this has been an issue, or at least a point of confusion.
