      Hi everybody,

      i am trying to connect a SIM7020E via MQTTs now for days. But i can’t find a way to make in work.
      Connection via MQTT with test.mosquitto.org was successful. Therefore i would estimate, that the Simhat is working properly.

      To connect the MQTTs I first try to insert the Certifcate’s Data.

      But even with the first command it fails. I tried different ways of \r, \n for the line break:

      AT+CSETCA=0,1492,1,0,“-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\rMIIEDzCCAvegAwIBAgIUJQumG+G91plGk7”

      AT+CSETCA=0,1492,1,0,“-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\r\nMIIEDzCCAvegAwIBAgIUJQumG+G91plGk7”

      AT+CSETCA=0,1492,1,0,“-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\nMIIEDzCCAvegAwIBAgIUJQumG+G91plGk7”

      AT+CSETCA=0,1492,1,0,“-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----MIIEDzCCAvegAwIBAgIUJQumG+G91plGk7”

      Every of the above mentioned ended up in the Result Message “ERROR”

      Also “AT+CSETCA?” results in an Error.

      How can I debug this stuff?

      I am grateful for any hint or help!

          @fm Thank you for your answer 🙂

          Unfortunatly i’ve already read this post and tried it too.

          I only return “ERROR” as a result. Even with the first string:

          From the console log:
          AT+CSETCA=0,1492,1,0,“-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\n”

          ERROR

          What do you mention with:
          @fm said in SIM7020e MQTT/S TLS:

          Note: If I try to download the certificate a second time w/o power-cycling the modem, I’ll get an error.

          What is w/o power-cycleing? Perhaps I overlook there something…

            Hello @bb27

            what I mean by that is that even after a successful download of the complete certificate when I try to download it again (using the exact same commands) I get an “ERROR”. In other words for me when the certificate has been downloaded fully once (without ERROR) I cannot download it a second time. Only if I dis- and reconnect power I can download the certificate again one time.

            Please also note: I am using a SIM7020G which most likely runs different firmware so my advise might not work with your modem version.

            Thanks

              @fm Hello agewin and thanks a lot.

              I don’t think that the G or E Version is different in this aspect. Because there is no difference mention in the manual. What Firmware are you using? Mine is: 1752B07SIM7020E on both devices.

              I now tried everything as above mentioned with my second raspberry pi. Same result.

              I read the “SIM7020 Series_AT Command Manual_V1.05” again and found there the example:
              AT+CSETCA?
              which should result in OK

              But this also ends in an Error in my case. Therefore it looks like the command ist unkown for both of my devices.

              I now tried to contect the manucfacturer to get any progress. I’ll let you know what the error was if i find a solution.

                Hello @bb27

                the firmware version on my SIM7020G is 1910B05SIM7020G.

                For me the read command AT+CSETCA? only returns OK if at least one certificate has been downloaded successfully. (I use this command to determine whether a specific certificate has already been downloaded or not.)

                You probably think of the test command to determine about whether a command exists or not. But test commands typically end in =?.

                I found downloading certificates into the SIM7020G is a tricky business and the method is quite different compared to other SIMCOM modems.

                Anyhow, hopefully you get some useful information from the manufacturer.

                Thanks

                  Thank you again for your answer. I am still stuck with this issue.

                  As far as I did have any answer from waveshare or simcom yet I did again full Check of the programm.

                  The following things are working:

                  • Network connection
                  • MQTT Connection to test.mosquitto.org
                  • PUBLISH via MQTT works too

                  I meant AT+CSETCA? returns error. But also AT+CSETCA=? return ERROR which should not happen i guess.

                  The following commands i tried are also working:
                  AT+CHTTPCREATE?
                  AT+CHTTPCREATEEXT?

                  Source of the Commands is: SIM7020 Series_AT Command Manual_V1.03.pdf

                  Two aspects I am thinking about:

                  • Is there any Pre-Condition to “activate” the AT+CSETCA? and a I still overead this in the doc files?
                  • If the Command AT+SCETCA is not kown be my devices, are they the wrong devices? But I didn’t find any Note that SIM7020E is not working with MQTTs

                    Hello @bb27

                    as long as no certificate has been downloaded AT+CSETCA? will return an error - that happens for me too.

                    According to the documentation there is no AT+CSETCA=? (e.g. test) command - so I’d expect an ERROR response.

                    I am not aware of any specific precondition. Maybe with the exception that it might help to reboot the modem after every failed try to download to have a clean start.

                    Sorry, at this point in time I am out of ideas.

                    Thanks
