Welcome to the forum @ravi071213 > [@ravi071213](#): > > Connection failed to broker: mqtts://localhost:1883 The clue is that says mqtts instead of mqtt. That suggests that you have configured the broker node. I am not at my computer so can't check exactly what the settings are but look for the word secure or/and TLS and make sure you haven't selected it ---

How exactly have you configured the mqtt node? As Colin says, it looks like you have configured it to use TLS/mqtts - the solution is to change it to not use TLS. ---
