@tvillingett: awesome thanks. https://github.com/cflurin/homebridge-mqtt/wiki/garageport

I apologise for my ignorance. I have been playing around with Node-read and homebridge-MQTT and I can not get the homebridge/to/add /set & remove to be connected in Node-Red.

It keeps in Connecting but never gets Connected. I probably have a fundamental issue or lack of knowledge. I read the plug-in description and it says perfect to be used with Node-Red so I was under the impression that an mqtt server was not needed. I have an Arduino One, Node-Red and Homebridge. I was able to get button press from my Arduino to Node-Red and outputs from Node-Red to Arduino but I can not get Homebridge to engage. I have used all IPs that I could think of considering Node-red and homebridge but to be honest with you I am not sure if I need mosquitto in addition to the existing configuration. I thought I would be enough with Arduino->NodeRed->Homebridge. Do I need Arduino->NodeRed->Mosquito->Homebridge?

I have tried on config.json url = http://127.0.0.1:1880 (which is the Node-red IP and port that I used to interface. url = http://127.0.0.1:1883 (which is the port that you mention), url = http://127.0.0.1:51826 (which is Homebridge port... does not make sense but I was trying!), url = http://localhost:51826, url = http://localhost:1880, url = http://localhost:1883 . I always get the following error: [mqtt] connect error! (url =

I also tried all combinations in the hombre bridge/to/set & /add that I was mentioning above for the IP and port of mqtt out.

Thanks in advance for your patient and support!

You need a MQTT-Broker e.g. mosquitto

I did that. Thanks
