SSL: BAD_LENGTH error message

[johnnyt]

I have 3 Airthings NS instances running (using different hubs/API tokens). At 19:28:59 Eastern time, one of the three reported this error:

The two other instances did not report this or any other any issues around that time.

Am on PG3 3.1.21 and IoX 5.6.4 on Polisy.

That's a PG3 issue I've seen before. Will need @bmercier to look into it.

This problem is related to a communication error with the PG3 embedded MQTT server.

I recommend migrating to PG3x, this should fix this problem. PG3x uses Mosquitto MQTT server.

In addition, we no longer maintain PG3.
