MQTT ClientID of integrated MQTT broker in Home Assistant

Feature Requests

Hi there all,
can we have an option in order to set the ClientID
in the integrated MQTT broker please ?

Before was easy (MQTT declared in configuration.yaml)
cause there was an option like “client_id: home-assistant”
With the integrated MQTT I didn’t find it.

Usually every MQTT client (Tasmota, NodeMCU, ESP32 etc…)
have an option to set the MQTT ClientID,
so I think will be beautiful to have it also in the integrated MQTT

Thanks in advance
Denis

I’m new to Home Assistant (even paid for nabu casa) and I’m horrified that I cannot setup proper and static ClientID for MQTT. Please, this is must have feature!

+1 (or give at least a HomeAssistat prefix so it is recognisable in the MQTT logs)

+1 the new update gives random client id

EDIT:
This one still works in configuration.yaml

mqtt:
    client_id: HASS

Maybe is little generic client_id
…will be better with mqtt_client_id … just my opinion :slight_smile:
Thanks

Well it is not, it is client_id. You are of course welcome to submit a PR.

The documentation is here MQTT Broker - Home Assistant - you’ll need to change that too. In the meantime, how is it really an issue what it is called. I am reminded of my father’s expression: “You can call me anything you like, as long as it’s not ‘late for beakfast’”.
