Hi All!
I am having difficulty installing the MQTT Explorer addon, I have tried the manual rout as well as the integration addon. Each time I have the following error.
Cmd(‘git’) failed due to: exit code(128) cmdline: git clone -v --recursive --depth=1 --shallow-submodules – GitHub - GollumDom/addon-repository /data/addons/git/9cf1ea8f stderr: 'Cloning into ‘/data/addons/git/9cf1ea8f’… POST git-upload-pack (175 bytes) POST git-upload-pack (244 bytes) error: RPC failed; curl 92 HTTP/2 stream 5 was not closed cleanly: CANCEL (err 8) error: 48 bytes of body are still expected fetch-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet fatal: early EOF fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output ’
The thing is that I have installed home assistant on my work pc and have had no trouble installing the MQTT explorer addon.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction!!
Please!!! Help!!!
I see only two reasons to install NQTT explorer as an addon.
You are only using devices on the local network where no MQTT explorer binary exist.
You need to set up MQTT devices remotely.
MQTT explorer is mostly a diagnostic tool that are used in the setup phase and it would be easier to install and maintain on a desktop machine instead.
@WallyR Thanks for your input, I must admit that I am totally new to home assistant and the MQTT protocol, I am still trying to wrap my head around the configuration of MQTT and the terminology linked to devices that send data ( publish), devices that read data ( subscribe) and their relationship to broker. I am finding this a bit of a steep learning curve.
Installing the MQTT explorer was on recommendation from 2 youtube videos I watched.
The aim of installing and using MQTT is to read data from my LUX Power inverter, which uses an addon called LXP-bridge.
Is there room in the disk to add this? Is your HA a 64bit install or a 32bit install?
You don’t need this until you need this, and it can be loaded on any computer on the network to get the same features as long as you can get it to run.
I like the addon, but usually run it thru one of the linux variants on my desktop because no reason, really.
When you are writing a blueprint that is using HA MQTT-discovery to create entities, It is a must have.
