Hi there Can you please provide some greater detail as to how to setup MQTT

I have the following within my solar-monitor.ini file

#[datalogger]
#url = http://server/solar/api/
#token = 39129e20be0503937cb72a5f719337cc
[mqtt]
broker = 192.168.1.26
prefix = solar
username = username
password = password

I have glanced the code an guess I have the credentials sorted.. but the above error is presenting

FYI Tried broker = IP:8123 tried hostname = IP -> different error

Using RasPi 4B - running solar-monitor in own docker container, with mosquitto in another container - can send and receive messages from HAAS and my machine

Sorry, I'll update the docs.

broker is the MQTT-broker hostname is used in the mqtt-connection and should match the local hostname

Both prefix and hostname should be optional, but I see there is a problem in the datalogger, where there is no fallback configured if it is not set.

I'll create a patch for this
