CloudMQTT Bridge, Mosquitto & Owntracks

But your request sounds like you are trying to send your owntracks data from your cloud provider to your local broaker instead of directly to hass.

The way the bridge works is that it can be in either direction. So you can configure a bridge on your local MQTT server and it’ll connect to the external MQTT server. It doesn’t have to be inbound.

Now that would really stink. I’m not sure, but it would sure put a damper on my plans since that’s exactly what I’m thinking about doing here shortly.

All you have to do is have your “master” MQTT server bridging to the other one or ones. You can even have it as a one way feed. It’s worth a read of this thread.
