No Response on TCP connection.

[ItsNix]

Running on Docker with a node attached to wifi.

I can see the incoming messages but do not get a response on my Meshtastic node.

I will keep tinkering but any guidance is welcomed.

I've not done much testing with TCP, but seems like many others are having issues as well. Recommend serial only for now.

I'm going to leave TCP running on mine for today and see if I can get others nearby to give it a test run.

I had success using Serial via TCP with a T3S3 but no luck using TCP with a Station G2 Nano.

I'm using a WaveShare LoraWan Hat on a Raspberry Pi running Meshtasticd. The BBS is mostly working over TCP but of course there is not a Main help menu response to a direct message and only some of the commands work. I get Meshtastic API interface errors. It may have something to do with the pubsub topic. Unexpected error in deferred execution <class 'pubsub.core.topicargspec.SenderUnknownMsgDataError'>

@Phlat try changing def receive_packet(packet) to def receive_packet(packet, interface) in server.py (Line 60). Seems like a bug there.

Interesting that I no longer get that specific error however it does not fix the TCP issue. Still no reply to hello.

I switched to a Heltec Lora32 on the usb port, changed configs. It does produce the hello menu as before, however there are more bugs. The F fortune always works however sending a Hello throws an error:

Interesting as I've had no problems TCP to both a T-Beam, Portdruno, and Radio Master.

Same here on a WSL(V3). Receiving all messages via TCP but (nearly) no response is sent out.
I had a bit more replies disabling meshtastic MQTT on WSL(V3) node. But far away from 100%...
Beside the already in other issues communicated errors, no specific error is raised after receiving and not sending reply.

[Phlat]

The WaveShare Hat on the Pi MeshtasticD is a portduino version and works well. I think it's the way the config interface stuff is handled trying to work with both serial and tcp devices. OR it may even be my linux distro, API version and libraries on this Raspberry Pi. For now I've given up using the TCP node and went with a USB serial Heltec, which seems to be holding up. I realize this is open source and am grateful to have it. It will be fun to see what others bring to the project. 73

I just wanted to add that TCP works fine for me (Tested using an Ubuntu VM and on Docker). The only thing that breaks it is if you reboot your node, then it won't automatically reconnect. Maybe if that could be fixed then TCP would work just a bit better. Thanks

I am having this problem, it might be related to this "Issue".
