Hi all,
for a while I am experimenting with home-assistant on my BBB (former ninjablock…) . I really like home-assistant and want to use mosquitto. Because I have a cape (arduino) on my BBB with a 433mhz receiver and sender.
but actually I am quite a noob on this part…
I installed home-assistant with the fabric installer from @jbags81 . I think in this automated installation there was a mosquitto broker installed.
But what files do I need to configure and where are these files and how should i set these up??
I hope someone can help me. Thanks!!
Hello,
If you want to setup MQTT in HA, here are the instructions: https://home-assistant.io/components/mqtt/

Yes, just install the ninja cape bridge from Perrin and install mqtt. Works perfect! Better then the former ninjablock software.
You have the beagle. I have the cape… I would have to figure out how to tweak it.
So, when the block sends the messages to mqtt, how do you see/check the topic? To have hass subscribe to it?
I was thinking something like:
name/type of device or sensor/and the bin or Hex code?
I.e.:
ninja/11/555555… or the 00010001000…number?
When I have time I will write down how I configured it.
