How to set up an MQTT broker or is this plugin a broker itself? #169

Closed Bittabola closed 3 years ago

Bittabola commented 3 years ago

Hi all,

I am a complete newbie and I need help. My goal is to receive a notification when the camera detects a motion so I can use it for automations.

I installed the firmware for the Wyze V2 camer and I am able to access in using the local IP address. I set it up as explained here: https://github.com/sahilchaddha/homebridge-dafang/blob/master/Setup_MQTT.md. I also have this plugin installed and configured.

Do I need a separate MQTT broker install? I do have MQTT-Things installed but have no idea how to configure it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

This plugin does not include its own broker, you'll need to install one separately. I recommend Mosquitto.

That said, if you only care about motion, you don't need this plugin at all, homebridge-camera-ffmpeg has MQTT support for motion, and that would be the best place to configure that.

This plugin is focused on the other features of the camera exposed through MQTT.
