Azure Iothub-Explorer epoch error?

Question

I'm trying to look at messages that are being sent from my esp8266 module via iothub-explorer but I'm getting the following error.

The command I'm running

iothub-explorer monitor-events DeviceID --login "HostName=Something.azure-devices.net;SharedAccessKeyName=key;SharedAccessKey=asdfsdfsdfasdfsdf="

Error

Error: At least one receiver for the endpoint is created with epoch of '3', and so non-epoch receiver is not allowed. Either reconnect with a higher epoch, or make sure all epoch receivers are closed or disconnected.

Answer 1

You can add a consumer group for IoT Hub explorer to receive events that sent by esp8266. In Azure Portal you can do it like this:

Specify the consumer group created above using --consumer-group option in your command like this:

iothub-explorer monitor-events myFirstDevice --consumer-group ReceiveEsp8266Events --login "HostName=xxxx"
