Open Cunner opened 6 years ago

Cunner commented 6 years ago

Hello, im pretty new in home Automation and i want to set up my first sonoff device via homebridge. I saw in the config file that i need to put in the "url": "mqtt://MQTT–BROKER-ADDRESS", where do i get this Adress from ? Sorry for the noob question.
Thanks!

is it the ip adress of the homebridge rasberry pi?

You need to run an MQTT–BROKER on your Pi like Mosquitto or you use a service on the internet. In my case the Broker ip was the same as my ubuntu server.

Could someone please post working config’s MQTT and mosquito?

If you're just starting out with a few sonoff devices then I'd suggest you try the HTTP version and leave MQTT for later. MQTT provides more robust network but adds extra complexity in a dependency on a third running system (MQTT message broker like Mosquito).
