Home Assistant Community Add-on: MQTT Server & Web client

Installation Home Assistant OS

hey all - I am not exactly new to hassio or MQTT - but by sd card died about 2 weeks ago. Just got around to rebuilding - and the for life of me, I cannot get hassio to integrate with this add-on. I had a backup of my complete hassio config, rebuilt, installed and configured. This addon works OK, I can integrate with Node-Red, however the config for the hassio broker pointing to the this add-on just does not work. below was my config backup working config

mqtt:
  broker: a0d7b954-mqtt
  username: !secret mqtt_username
  password: !secret mqtt_password
  client_id: home-assistant

I just get an error when I try and publish to MQTT from hassio itself. I have external MQTT devices publishing just fine - any ideas?

my passwords are correctly configured in my secrets file.

163

try using the IP instead of a0d7b954-mqtt

164

Sir thank you for the reply - I tried to use the external IP of my RasPi, then ssh to the hassio and ping a0d7b954-mqtt which resolved to the internal docker IP - none of these work. This “did” work before my sd card died, also I had not updated hassio or the add-on for some time. Just curious if any recent updates “could” cause this type of issue?

165

it could, the last couple of updates fixes issues with readonly and passwords

166

Need some help with this add-on, I run it , Al looks fine, no issues in log files…
I start hivemq, can connect fine, button is green…
So I subscribe to #. , Just don’t see any messages if I test… Also not with other test tool like mqtt.fx…
Tried SSL , non SSL, anonymous…
If I try the other add-on without hivemq, everything is working perfectly…

I have no idea

167

Make sure the user that is trying to publish do not have readonly: true

168

yes, i can try that
but i also tried anonymous before, that should work always normally , no ?

169

OMG, that was it , how simple can it be

170

I installed the add-on. I’m starting “START”. If you want to enter Open web UI an error pops up.

Is there anything to write in Config? I have default settings. Please help. I’m a novice.

change the host to your internal ip, probably your port is not forwarded in your router

172

Check for clues in the addon log (same page that have the “OPEN UI” button)

Hi, I have my MQTT Server Add-ON setup and working fine but when rebooting the host, the service MQTT Server doesn’t load fast enough for HA to connect and cause all MQTT entities to not load. If I restart the HASS service after the reboot everything work fine.

homeassistant.exceptions.HomeAssistantError: Error talking to MQTT: The client is not currently connected.

I found this thread talking about services config file to let HA know which services need to be load before launching HA. How can we access this file with HASSIO?

177

Interested, same issue here… If I do full reboot, I always need to restart first HA upon first boot :wink:

What options do I put here? I have tried all the ports, IP (10.10.1.13), hostname (a0d7b954-mqtt) and SSL/non-SSL.

I get this error:
