Install Home Assistant, Mosquitto broker and Node-Red on android

Did you configure mosquitto to use username and password?

Yes, with this:
mosquitto_passwd -c passwordfile user

I can acces the passwd file created.

And this is in mosquitto.conf?
password_file /path/to/mosquitto/passwd
allow_anonymous false

Yes, both lines with the correct path.

Then check indentation in configuration.yaml. This config works for me.

mqtt:
  broker: localhost
  port: 1883
  username: test
  password: test
  client_id: mqttha
  keepalive: 60

The problem persist. Typing netstat -a I’m unable to see a localhost/1883 address. Could this be related?

Can you subscribe to mosquitto?

mosquitto_sub -h localhost -p 1883 -t topic -u test -P test

Txs for your efforts.
I can’t subscribe to mosquito.
Error: connection refused

Try to reinstall mosquitto and set it without user and password.

Done.
mqtt:
broker: localhost
port: 1883

Same results… I don’t know what I’m missing

Is mosquitto started at all?

pm2 show mosquitto
pm2 logs mosquitto

Did you follow all steps in my tutorial?

Yes, I did follow your tutorial. I’m running mosquitto first with this lines:
Pm2 start mosquitto – -v -c /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf

But “pm2 show mosquitto” shows: mosquitto doesn’t exist
I will try to reinstall mosquitto

hi, i am trying to install it on my minix android streamer but after i type
pm2 start hass --interpreter=python – --config /data/data/com.termux/files/home/.homeassistant
i get a pm2 error that says: script not found : /data/data/com.termux/files/home/hass

what do i need to do to solve this problem?
thnx

There are two dashes after

--interpreter=python

not one. Try that.

It seem that this tutorial not work anymore from the version 0.76.

I’m trying with the version 0.75 is OK but I got the error when upgrade to version 0.76.
I got this errror.

Does anyone know this error and how to fix this?
Thanks

It seems there is a problem with installing cryptography on termux.

I’m trying edit the openssl.conf file but I cannot find it :frowning:

hi,

my apologies if this is a daft question,

i’m trying to follow your tutorial above and all appears to be going fine up to

“pip install homeassistant”

i get the error

“no command ‘pip’ found, did you mean:
command ‘php’ from package ‘php’
command ‘zip’ from package ‘zip’
command ‘ip’ from package ‘termux-tools’
$”

also apears to be a lot of errors and warnings after installing node-red is this right?

my aim is to us this to enable my broadlink rm pro+ to be opperated by my amazon echo plus (the skill isn’t available in the uk) am i correct in thinking this will enable it via ifttt or am i wasting my time on this project?

thank you all for your time and help.

kind regards

Robin

I’m not sure what you are trying to achieve with this. But to install homeassistant run pip like this

python3 -m pip install wheel
python3 -m pip install homeassistant==0.75.3

You can’t install latest version of homeassistant because of problem with cryptography on termux.
Yes, node-red gives lots warnings when installing but if it work after it’s all good.
