I cant get my mqtt wallpanel to work using a fire tablet and the wallpanel app. What should i do, it looks like what the instructions say to do?
Hello hudsonaikin123,
You do not have much detail there. Very hard to help you like that…
For instance, If I did this post:
I have a bicycle from Trek and am using the App from the factory but it doesn’t go.
I followed what the instructions said to do.
You wouldn’t know what to tell me, right?
Please add more detail, are you using home assistant, how have you installed MQTT, what program are you running, etc…
I am using ha supervised on a raspberrypi 5, I am using a fire tablet with the open source wallpanel app. I am using the mqtt extension but I am not sure if I have it setup correctly.
Your MQTT Broker address is almost certainly incorrect. 192.168.1.1 is usually the address for your router, but you need the address where your MQTT is running.
Assuming you’re running the Mosquitto broker Addon on your Pi, then you need to use the IP address of your HA in that settings page.
PS - remove the http:// from the address. The wallpanel docs explicitly tell you you shouldn’t need it.
I changed my ip but I still get the same error message, what do I need to do diffrently? (I also removed the http://)
Once you get your broker running correctly, this will help.
Troubleshooting MQTT? MQTT-Explorer can help you be successful!
If you have Add-ons available, try adding this Add-on repository to your Add-on list. GitHub - GollumDom/addon-repository.
With this you can see that the broker sees and likely find the bug.
HINT: I have found using this, if you look at the JSON string and it is in color, the JSON is valid. If it is monochrome, the JSON is invalid and it will not work.
Your screenshot shows everything but the IP, so we can’t tell.
Assuming your IP is correct, have you installed mosquitto add-on and the mqtt integration on your Pi? You need those installed for your tablet to be able to communicate over mqtt.
You need a new user for mqtt. Don’t give it hardly any permissions.
I think MQTT is recommended as the login.
This is all written up somewhere.
