Hello Guys,

I have a remote server, on that mqtt broker is running. Mqtt has been secured by ssl certificate and now port 8883 is open to receive the mqtts messages.

Now i have a raspberry pi and i want to use the terminal of raspverry pi to send the mqtts message to my remore server but i got no success. This is the command

**mosquitto\_pub -h mqtts://136.33.45.56 -p 8883 -t test -m "okay" -u aswin -P 123efr -d**

where im doing the mistake? if i use simple mqtt then the following command is working fine

**mosquitto\_pub -h 136.33.45.56 -p 1883 -t test -m "okay" -u aswin -P 123efr -d**

Thank you.

You don't mention Node Red....are you setting up the NR MQTT In node to receive the messages?
