MQTT Help #39

Open Mark1102 opened 4 years ago

Mark1102 commented 4 years ago

I have my camera all setup and working with homebridge-camera-ffmpeg but want to move over to this plugin so that I can use the motion detection.

The bit I'm stuck on is MQTT, I don't have a broker and it seems that the plugin hosts one for you? I'm just confused by the mongodb bit, what do I need to setup within the database in order for it to work?

Hosting MQTT needs MongoDB to be running either on your local machine or any other server.

Where are you running your homebridge? easiest way is to install a broker (eg. mosquitto) where you are running that service.
