Home Assistant Mosquitto Tasmota Device Socket Error
I have just completed a fresh install of Home Assistant OS 6.4 (core-2021.9.7 upgraded to 2021.10.0, supervisor-2021.09.6) on a Raspberry Pi 4, together with Mosquitto 6.0.1 configured as an add-on. As far as I can tell that installation seemed to work fine.
But the problem I’m having is when trying to configure my first Tasmoto (9.5.0) device via MQTT. I’m getting a
1633680390: New connection from 192.168.1.28 on port 1883.
1633680390: Socket error on client <unknown>, disconnecting.
This error seems to crop up quite a lot in other posts, and most times boils down to an authentication problem. But no matter what I do, I can’t seem to fix the problem, or even have an affect on it. I always get the same error.
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem might be, or more importantly how I can diagnose the problem? While the Tasmoto device seems to be working OK, I can’t rule that out as the source of the problem.
The set-up:
-
Installed HA following the standard instructions on a Pi 4 and went through the onboarding process and this step seems to have completed fine.
-
I installed Mosquito as an MQTT Broker as a Home Assistant Add-on using the standard process and this seemed to work OK too.
The MQTT configuration looks like this, but I’ve tried it with logins: [] and anonymous: true as well.
logins:
- username: username
password: password
customize:
active: false
folder: mosquitto
certfile: fullchain.pem
keyfile: privkey.pem
require_certificate: false
anonymous: false
- I’ve configured the MQTT Device, a Localbytes pre-flashed tasmota plug with the following MQTT confirmation information.
**I would add more screen shots/details, but as a new forum user I’m unable to include screen shots and links! **
192.168.1.32 is the address of the Home Assistant node. 192.168.1.28 is the Tasmota device. I’ve used SetOption19 1 to make the Tasmota device discoverable.
