MQTT still tries to use embedded broker

Configuration
1

After upgrading to the lastest version, I had to install mosquitto because the embedded broker is now deprecated. Mosquitto is running, I restart HA and this is the mqtt section:

mqtt:
  broker: 127.0.0.1
  port: 1883
  username: !secret mqtt_username
  password: !secret mqtt_password

but in the log it seems it still tries to use the embedded one (hbmqtt):

Is there something else to change?

I’m also experiencing the same issue, does anyone have any tips to share?

I have mosquitto running on the same host, here is my Config .yaml

mqtt:
  broker: 127.0.0.1
  port: 1883
  discovery: true
  discovery_prefix: homeassistant
  birth_message:
    topic: 'hass/status'
    payload: 'online'
  will_message:
    topic: 'hass/status'
    payload: 'offline'

But after a restart when I look at Developer Tools -> Logs I get:


2020-03-07 19:47:19 ERROR (SyncWorker_12) [homeassistant.util.package] Unable to install package hbmqtt==0.9.5: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.7/site-packages/hbmqtt-0.9.5.dist-info'
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.
2020-03-07 19:47:19 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup failed for mqtt: Requirements for mqtt not found: ['hbmqtt==0.9.5'].

I understood that hbmqtt is the deprecated embedded broker, and since I have mosquitto running I should not use that.

Hi Francis,

Thanks for the suggestion.
I looked thru my core.config_entries file and I have nothing there to related to MQTT to delete and try to configure thru the YAML file.

I even tried looking for anything mqtt or broker in the .storage folder with grep and nothing came up:

root@glados:/home/hass/.homeassistant/.storage# grep -R "broker" *
root@glados:/home/hass/.homeassistant/.storage# grep -R "mqtt" *

So I didn’t configure it on the UI.
