Hello, i am trying to connect to my HiveMQ cloud broker through the provided websockets client. I have followed the getting started guide exactly but i get an error: Connect failed: AMQJS0007E Socket error:undefined.

I am able to connect with the CLI interface, and using two instances i can sub/pub messages. But i would much prefer the nice GUI of the websockets application for regular use.

Hi @adown ,  
Great that you are interested in MQTT and HiveMQ, welcome to our community!  
May I ask - are you interested in MQTT for work or for a study project?

To your error: The WebSocket port is 8884 and you have 8883. Try 8884!

I hope this helps,  
Dasha from HiveMQ team
