Can‘t get MQTT to work on Homebridge

[ScharV]

Hey folks i am trying to get this Plugin to work on Homebridge but the Plugin doesn‘t publish mqtt commands to the Broker. Hope somebody could help me. Here is my config: { "accessory" : "mqttgaragedoor", "caption" : "Garage", "topics" : { "closedGet" : "shellies/shelly1-xxxxx/input/0", "statusSet" : "shellies/shelly1-xxxxx/relay/0/command", "closedValue" : "1" }, "url" : "http://IP:Port", "doorRunInSeconds" : "22", "name" : "Garage" }

I'd try to check the "url" field ( "url": "mqtt://" )

@iomax thanks for your fast reply tried ist before but also doesn’t work.🤷🏻‍♂️

Let me to better understand ... You said that "plugin doesn‘t publish any mqtt command to the broker" so I'm assuming that no message showed on topic "shellies/shelly1-xxxxx/relay/0/command" whatever mqtt client ( e.g. mosquitto_sub ) and not just by "shelly" ? And what if you "simulate" a shelly msg to the topic "shellies/shelly1-xxxxx/input/0", payload "1" and/or "0" ? Any "reaction" in Home apps too ?

Yes I use an mqtt App to read topics and publish on the topics to the Plugin....the Plugin doesn’t send messages and doesn‘t read the topic messages

So seems that plugin didn't "find" the broker ... what about the "homebridge" log ? The plugin mqtt client in case of error should log "[ Garage ] Error event on MQTT" instead of the more usual "[Garage] Subscribing to topics".

Please could you try to add even the "username": "", "password": "" fields to your config and share something more about your setup ( platform, other plugins working on mqtt if any, broker info and so on )

I‘ve got running mosquitto on an Raspberry Pi 4 and iam using mqttthing with my shellies. I always got error Event on Mqtt in the logs....i had the Subscribing to topics to but there was also no function

@iomax any ideas?

Solved the Problem....however de Broker didn‘t accept the password although it‘s the same for the client and there ist works
