Unable to set remote mqtt username and password

[iFloris]

Hello, thanks for building this great local alternative!

I am trying to get this working with the docker install version, as I already have Mosquitto broker running on my home assistant install with other MQTT tools.

However, I am having trouble getting pethublocal to talk to my Home Assistant Mosquitto broker. I do not know how to tell pethublocal to use a username and password for MQTT. As such, I am getting the following:

2022-09-08T06:52:23.901221299Z INFO:pethublocal:MQTT: Init MQTT Host 192.168.1.x
2022-09-08T06:52:23.902791369Z INFO:pethublocal:Error "[code:5] The connection was refused.". Reconnecting in 3 seconds.

I tried to edit the pethubconfig.json, inserting a username and password as a test (which I also added as a user in home assistant):

        "MQTT": {
            "Host": "192.168.1.x",
            "Username": "pethublocal",
            "Password": "pethublocal"
        },

But that does not seem to work.

How can I get pethublocal to use a username and password when connecting to a remote MQTT server?

You must use "ClientUsername" and "ClientPassword". This is how it is defined in Frontend.py.

Just to clarify for anyone, in your pethubconfig.json you set your MQTT user/pass that is in home assistant, like this:

        "MQTT": {
            "Host": "YOUR_HA_IP",
            "ClientUsername": "WHATEVER_MQTT_USER_YOU_HAVE_IN_HA",
            "ClientPassword": "WHATEVER_MQTT_PASS_YOU_HAVE_IN_HA"
        },
