Most likely you have something configured wrong. And considering you have provided almost no information it is impossible to tell you what your problem is.


It's useful to confirm that your local mosquitto is working. There are a few mobile phone apps which can help with this. I always use node-red with mosquitto. This makes it much easier to check that things are working.
I also use node-red & mosquitto on a PC for debugging. I have some notes explaining this here:
