Troubleshooting MQTT SSL Error: Ensuring Secure Communication for Smart Home

Hey guys I decided to use MQTT for my smart home energy management application, but now I'm encountering an SSL handshake error when trying to establish a secure connection between my smart thermostat and MQTT broker. I've tried updating my thermostat's SSL certificates, but the issue persists. Should I I continue troubleshooting MQTT SSL configuration or find other approach to ensure secure and reliable communication for my smart home application? If yes which approach do you think is best? @IoT Cloud
Solution:
1. Check the thermostat's SSL certificates. 2. Verify the MQTT broker's SSL configuration. 3. Check network connectivity and firewall settings....

I'd recommend sticking it out and fixing this issue rather than changing tact since you hit a bump.

I understand your point about sticking with MQTT and resolving the issue. Can you offer some guidance on where to focus my troubleshooting efforts?

For me to be of any assistance I would need to know what issue you are facing, its all in the details you need to show what you have tried and what you expect, and how it's not working. That way one can try and help
