Port 8883 not opened?

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I will turn crazy with my update 2.0.0-34. When I use discovery function, I correctly find my Roomba 980

~/dorita980$ node discover.js 
Looking for robots...
Robot found! with blid/username: 3115800850720780
{ ver: '2',
  hostname: 'Roomba-3115800850720780',
  robotname: 'Roomba',
  ip: '192.168.0.18',
  mac: '74:C6:3B:96:FF:91',
  sw: 'v2.0.0-34',
  sku: 'R980040',
  nc: 1,
  proto: 'mqtt' }
{ ver: '2',
  hostname: 'Roomba-3115800850720780',
  robotname: 'Roomba',
  ip: '192.168.0.18',
  mac: '74:C6:3B:96:FF:91',
  sw: 'v2.0.0-34',
  sku: 'R980040',
  nc: 1,
  proto: 'mqtt' }

But, the getpassword function return me errors even if I follow instructions (and WIFI led is blinking)

~/dorita980$ npm run getpassword 192.168.0.18

> dorita980@3.0.8 getpassword /home/boris/dorita980
> node ./bin/getpassword.js "192.168.0.18"

Make sure your robot is on the Home Base and powered on (green lights on). Then press and hold the HOME button on your robot until it plays a series of tones (about 2 seconds). Release the button and your robot will flash WIFI light.
Then press any key here...
events.js:154
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

Actually, I believe that the 8883 port is closed

~/dorita980$ netcat -n -v 192.168.0.18 8883
netcat: connect to 192.168.0.18 port 8883 (tcp) failed: Connection refused

Do I miss something obvious? Any help would be appreciate.

Actually, it seems simpler than my nebulous first explanation. I now quite sure it is because of the iRobot app which was running during my tests. So, if someone has the same issue, be care to switch off the app on your mobile before use the dorita980 lib. Regards

Thank you @jdog09! Same issue here: I disconnected Home Assistant and all of sudden the script worked well!
