1) you need to install additional to homebridge an MQTT broker, is an additional app, I recommend Mosquitto, its easy to install and work perfect. 2) thats the part of the configuration were you put you MQTT broker info, normally the IP is the semae of the Homebridge IP if you install it on the same machine, user an password is option and is what you configured, topic could be the default that came with the Tasmota

Hello, first I would like to thank MacWyznawca for this plugin, second thank you Arduingo, for pointing that we need to install an MQTT broker I thought that it was included in the homebridge installation. I have this question, I keep trying to add my second sonoff, how exactly do i do that? :D. Thank you in advance for your reply.
