@Fergus_Pingo I think you need to define a user and a password for Mosquitto and in the config of Zigbee2Mqtt addon, you add that user so that it can connect with the broker:
My Mosquitto config:
Corresponding config in Zigbee2MQTT (I have also shown the config of the dongle as I have exactly the same - you can find it in the Hardware section how it is called in your case):
That log is nothing to be concerned about, just supervisor checking if the add-on is still alive. But you should not use An IP-address in the Zigbee2mqtt configuration in that case.
Dear Rene,
Thank you for your response and screen shot. If I remember for my house install I chose different user and passwords for mqtt and mosquito, however for the work install I think I kept the same ( and I only have one listing in my password manager) So I can not directly screenshot my house config files and repeat it at work.
Now this is what my Zigbee2MQTT looks like now…
Now for the Mosquitto Config
logins: []
customize:
active: false
folder: mosquitto
certfile: fullchain.pem
keyfile: privkey.pem
require_certificate: false
Is this what mine should look like?
Thanks again, FergusIt’s telling you that you gave it an invalid list because you didn’t specify the username and password as a list (you’re missing a -).
Try this:
- username: mqtt_user
password: dregU
Thank you ShadowFist - looking better
Mosquitto broker I think is now going - green dot in top right of screen
However do these log files look OK?
I have restarted home assistant and am now getting the following message when I try to restart MQTT
Red dot in the top right of MQTT screen and these log files
Thanks again to all for assistance - Fergus
Check your Z2MQTT settings. Something tells me you only added a single / after mqtt:// , but I can’t confirm because you blacked it out. See this post above.
Also, make sure you restart the Z2MQTT addon after any changes, and double check that it’s pointing to your MQTT broker correctly (should be your HA IP address:1883, or 192.168.1.102:1883)
Thank you Shadow Fist - I have done a HA restart
Mosquitto broker seems running - green dot top right
These are the log files on Mosquitto
The New Connection and Client lines keep repeating for say 50 times then at the bottom we have
However does the green dot indicate Mosquito is running fine.
Now on to MQTT itself - this is not running. I checked for the two forward slashes as you mentioned and this looks OK. Here is the config without any redacting.
and here is the log file
thanks again for commenting on this installation - Fergus
try:
server: mqtt://core-mosquitto:8123
Dear Francis
Yipee - I think you have done it. So many thanks.
Both Mosquitto broker and Zigbee2MQTT both seem to be running now fine - thanks Green dot in top right.
last 2 lines of log file from Zigbee2MQTT showing the following
Zigbee2MQTT:info 2024-03-20 10:25:33: MQTT publish: topic ‘zigbee2mqtt/bridge/state’, payload ‘{“state”:“online”}’
Zigbee2MQTT:info 2024-03-20 10:25:33: Zigbee2MQTT started!
Looking at the Entities the top 3 are “Disabled by - Integration” is this usual?
I have just done a full back up as well as my automated regular back up every 3 days

It is normal, but I have enabled them. (except the network map)
Fine - got that.
Once again - many thanks - is it good practice to now edit the title of this thread to [SOLVED] MQTT error: connect ECONNREFUSED or just leave it for others to browse through?
regs Fergus
Yeah! mark it as solved. Great you got it working!
