[BUG] - Cant start homebridge after adding plugin

[joshuaswilcox]

Describe the bug Installed plugin, added config and startup of homebridge has the error below

Expected behavior I'd expect homebridge to start just fine

Config { "platform": "Dafang", "mqtt": { "hostBroker": true, "port": 1883, "host": "localhost", "debug": true, "mongoUrl": "mongodb://localhost:27017/mqtt" }, "cameras": [ { "cameraName": "Window Cam", "cameraRTSPStreamUrl": "rtsp://x.x.x.x:XXXX/unicast", "mqttTopic": "office/window/#", "accessories": [ { "name": "Office Window Motion Sensor", "type": "richMotionSensor", "threshold": 300000 } ] } ] }

Hey man! I'm having the same issue, the only way to stop the continuous restart is to remove the MQTT host from the plugging 😞 Do you have any idea how to fix that? @joshuaswilcox Thanks!

Same here. I found that changing the section marked mqtt does get rid of the problem. But then you have to install and maintain your own mqtt broker.

On my raspberry pi, I installed the MQTT broker by following steps from https://randomnerdtutorials.com/how-to-install-mosquitto-broker-on-raspberry-pi/

That did the trick
