I have seen folks post screenshot of MQTT broker UI but I have tried all ports (1883, 1884, 8883, 8884) on the IP address of the machine running MQTT Broker Mosquito that was installed from Hassio Add-on tab.
I am just curious if there is a way to access MQTT webUI, I am using more of it in my integrations and curious to learn more.
@fanuch - no it is not configurator, my problem is that I am finding myself using more MQTT in integrations and no nothing about the topic, it is on my list to get acquainted with MQTT.
@xAPPO thanks the link seems like a nice resource, just what I needed
I am familiar with the UI of MQTT Addon but seems like there are many MQTT clients available. I just installed MQTT Explorer that @xAPPO recommended and really liking it…seems pretty handy tool! Seems like a good learning tool as well.
I am running my own Mosquitto broker on a Pi, working towards integrating the NodeJS Poolcontroller 6.1.1 with HA via MQTT. I’m currently working with the developers to debug an socket issue (discussion here if interested), however it’s something else that I’m pondering:
To rule out any issues on the broker side, I installed the Supervisor MQTT broker add-on on HA in parallel with the one I’ve got running on the Pi. My HA deployment is running in a Hyper-V on a fast host machine.
I would like to hear other’s experience, as to which platform works best in terms of performance and stability? A MQTT broker running stand-alone on the Pi or using the HA Mosquitto broker addon instead?
