No mqtt and map

I followed the guide to flash my gen1 vacuum cleaner. I started by doing a factory reset and installing firmware v11_003468.fullos.pkg. I build the firmware by:

rockrobo/dustcloud/devices/xiaomi.vacuum/firmwarebuilder/imagebuilder.sh \
     --firmware=rockrobo/firmware/v11_003468.fullos.pkg \
     --soundfile=rockrobo/firmware/english.pkg \
     --public-key=/root/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub \
     --valetudo-path=rockrobo/valetudo \
     --disable-firmware-updates \
     --replace-adbd 

and flashed it by: mirobo --ip 192.168.8.1 --token secret_token update-firmware output/v11_003468.fullos.pkg This works well and I can access the vacuum via the browser over 192.168.8.1 as expected, I can see the map and I set the wifi to connect it to my own network. The vacuum has IP address 192.168.0.31

Next I edit the Valutedo configuration file to setup mqtt for home assistant according to these instructions: https://github.com/Hypfer/Valetudo/wiki/Home-Assistant-Integration I edited /mnt/data/valetudo/config.json to:

{
  "spots": [],
  "areas": [],
  "mqtt": {
    "enabled": false,
    "identifier": "rockrobo",
    "topicPrefix": "valetudo",
    "autoconfPrefix": "homeassistant",
    "broker_url": "mqtt://my_username:my_password@my_broker_IP",
    "provideMapData": true,
    "caPath": ""
  },
  "dummycloud": {
    "spoofedIP": "203.0.113.1",
    "bindIP": "127.0.0.1"
  },
  "httpAuth": {
    "enabled": false,
    "username": "valetudo",
    "password": "valetudo"
  },
  "allowSSHKeyUpload": true,
  "map_upload_host": "http://127.0.0.1"
}

I use mqtt explorer to check the messages but nothing seems to come by. I want to integrate the map in hassio by using the addon ICantBelieveItsNotValetudo. I also cannot access the map via http://192.168.0.31/api/remote/map, I get Cannot GET /api/remote/map.

Furthermore I have the vacuum control integrated in home assistant via

vacuum:
  - platform: xiaomi_miio
    host: !secret xiaomi_ip
    token: !secret xiaomi_token

This integration works but I cannot seem to get the map working nor the MQTT messages. iptables -L shows:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         
DROP       udp  --  anywhere             anywhere             udp dpt:6665
DROP       tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere             tcp dpt:6665

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         
REJECT     all  --  anywhere             ot.io.mi.com         reject-with icmp-port-unreachable

Am I missing something here? Valetudo version: 0.4.0 Firmware version: 3.3.9 Firmware build: 003468

@bartekd123 @Hypfer Okay, I figured out the problem, my password ends on a question-mark. I’ve reproduced the problem with second mqtt broker and when I remove the question-mark at the end of password it works. Any ideas on how to get around this or should I remove the question-mark and reconfigure my other mqtt devices?

I hosted another mqtt broker via mosquito on a laptop and then the vacuum is able to connect to it…
