Getting very frustrated beating my head against this (see linked thread). Is anyone using this plug-in with OwnTracks? If so, would you share your configuration? I need the plug in config and the “mqtt” and “device_tracker” blocks from configuration.yaml
Much appreciated.
Does anybody know if it’s possible to add the customize folder to this addon?
I tried just adding to the addon config:
"customize": {
"active": true,
"folder": "mosquitto"
},
But it gets removed when I start the addon
That is not supported.
Ah ok, that explains why it wasn’t working haha
Thanks!
Has anyone managed to make web interface work with external NGINX proxy?
Yes.
I have it exposed behind a NGINX proxy.
@ludeeus, would it be possible to include the plugin that allows recursively removing retained messages?
https://www.hivemq.com/plugin/delete-retained-messages-recursively-plugin/
Great plugin BTW 
I looks like that plugin are ment to only run once (on demand) that is not great for an addon that are designed to allways run, or did I miss something?
TBH I don’t know anything about the addon, it was just part of the same base system (HiveMQ) and I’d like some mechanism for removing retained messages recursively on the broker. If it isn’t a suitable addition then that is no bother.
[edit] - Is it possible to drop it into the plugins folder of the HiveMQ install? Where would I find that folder if it is? I realised this addon is using the HiveMQ client not the broker - apologies.
Cheers
Does anyone know where this error is coming from?
HA can never connect to the broker while nodered can.

Addon config:
mqtt:
broker: hassio.local
port: 1883
client_id: ha_mqtt
username: !secret mqtt_broker_username2
password: !secret mqtt_broker_password2
Think i got at least part of the issue… ssl does not seem to be working for HA while it is for the nodered addon. Activating the non ssl part of the addon and using the config above “solves it”.
And i guess the error message above is not related…
But i am still wondering if HA should be able to use a selfsigned cert for ssl with this addon.
My cert is at the default location /ssl/…
You may need to set tls_insecure and/or tls_version 
Hm i will try that 
Thanks for the hint!
Hi all
I am unable to connect to the broker from paho, my notebook is here, and I am using the default config with a single user robin (also used to the web UI).
In the addon logs I see:
1541484333: New client connected from 192.168.1.107 as hassio-mqtt-client (c1, k60, u'robin').
1541484336: Socket error on client hassio-mqtt-client, disconnecting.
I have enable_mqtt : false perhaps this is wrong. Set to true and try port 1883, now error is:
1541485174: New connection from 192.168.1.107 on port 1883.
1541485174: Socket error on client <unknown>, disconnecting.
1541485179: New client connected from 192.168.1.107 as hassio-mqtt-client (c1, k60, u'robin').
UPDATE: using port 1883 this is now working. I’ve updated my notebook. I don’t understand what the difference between using ports 1883 & 1884 is
1883 are for non-ssl MQTT and 1884 are for non-ssl WS
I’m only able to publish around 2 packets from my micropython board before I receive the error:
[Errno 104] ECONNRESET
Source code here. Any ideas?
UPDATE: I’m also seeing this in my HA logs (configured to use the broker):
2018-11-07 07:44:26 WARNING (Thread-2) [homeassistant.components.mqtt] Disconnected from MQTT (1). Trying to reconnect in 64 s
UPDATE 2:
OK I think I’ve identified that this error occurs when I am using the same client_id on both my homeassistant and my micropython board. Appears to require a reset of the broker to clear the error.
This is a great add-on but I am still struggling to get it to work. I have used the Mosquitto broker before but want to move to MQTT Server & Web Client, so I deactivated the former.
However, I cannot call up the Web UI (“Safari can’t connect to myhome.duckdns.org:5713”)
So, somewhere along the way, I have not configured something correctly.
My Config is:
{
"log_level": "info",
"certfile": "fullchain.pem",
"keyfile": "privkey.pem",
"web": {
"enabled": true,
"username": "xx",
"password": "xxx",
"ssl": true
},
"broker": {
"enabled": true,
"enable_ws": true,
"enable_mqtt": true,
"enable_ws_ssl": true,
"enable_mqtt_ssl": true,
"allow_anonymous": false
},
"mqttusers": [
{
"username": "xx",
"password": "xxx",
"readonly": true,
"topics": [
"#"
]
}
]
}
and I am using the default ports.

Try using https://IPADDRESS:5713
If you want to connect HA to the broker, then yes it will need to be defined.
https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/mqtt/broker#run-your-own
There are 5 ports mapped to to addon.
1883 non-ssl MQTT port
1884 non-ssl WS port
4883 ssl MQTT port
4884 ssl WS port
5715 WebUI port
Thanks much @ludeeus, that seemed to have done the trick! I have access to the webclient and I can connect to the broker.
Just to check: is there anything else that I should have to enter in configurations.yaml besides this:
#Mosquitto broker
mqtt:
broker: 192.168.xxx.xx
username: !secret mqtt_my_username
password: !secret mqtt_my_passwordThat should work, but your mqtt user has “readonly”: true,
With the latest update to mosquitto add-on the bridge between cloudmqtt and mosquitto, for my devices using owntracks stop working, with this add-on can do it?and how?
