Connecting HA to multiple MQTT Brokers

[NW27 (Neil Wrightson)]

Hi,
A MQTT question, how do I add multiple external MQTT brokers
It appears I can only have one (1) entry. I also have a MQTT broker on 10.0.0.5 and 10.0.0.14

Thanks, Neil.

You can’t. You need to setup a mqtt bridge

Possibility to configure multiple MQTT Servers (more than one)

I would really love to see a way to configure multiple MQTT Servers in the MQTT integration. Right now, it seems, that the limit is one… which should work for MOST cases, but in some others you might have different systems that have their own built in MQTT server. I know, that you could configure a bridge, but what is the reason for limiting the configuration to one? [image]

For cases where multiple MQTT brokers are required the best solution is to run the brokers in a virtualised environment outside HA.

By far the easiest, most robust and cost effective method is to run on a Proxmox hypervisor, using Mosquitto under LXC. You can run multiple LXCs requiring miniscule resources.

that’s the topic.
You can configure only one broker in HomeAssistant…
