I am able to successfully connect with a python example to my created IoT Edge. However, the same configuration does not work for my actual downstream device (ESP8266).

Downstream device (ESP8266) Configuration

I am using the following example for the ESP8266: https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-arduino/tree/master/examples/esp8266/iothub_ll_telemetry_sample

Added the certificate and connection string in the code:

// DEVICE_CONNECTION_STRING
HostName=iot-edge.leister;DeviceId=wemosd1mini;SharedAccessKey=XXXXXXXXX=

// CERTIFICATE
// same certificate as in python example (content of file azure-iot-test-only.root.ca.cert.pem)
static const char edgeCert [] =
"-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\r\n"
...
"-----END CERTIFICATE-----\r\n";
IoTHubDeviceClient_LL_SetOption(device_ll_handle, OPTION_TRUSTED_CERT, edgeCert);

Edge Device Configuration

I configured a raspberry pi according to the documentation on (with demo certificates as mentioned in the article) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/how-to-create-transparent-gateway?view=iotedge-2018-06

I can successfully verify the certificate with the command openssl s_client -connect iot-edge.leister:8883 -CAfile "C:\Users\micha\Desktop\azure-iot-test-only.root.ca.cert.pem" -showcerts

Results in: Verify return code: 0 (ok)

I am not able to connect with the same configuration to my IoT Edge with the ESP8266 as downstream device.

Have you added your downstream device as a child of the edge device? docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-edge/…Venkat Yalla
Yeah, I ve done that. Think the issue is the TLS check. Probably need to setup a local dns server to make a hostname available and try again if that works.mleister
Yes, or set the hostname in the config.yaml of the edge device to 192.168.4.1 and restart iotedged.Venkat Yalla

Finally it's working. Switched the hardware from ESP8266 to ESP32 and running (same code) without any issues.
