MQTT TLS with Wemos D1 Mini/ESP8266?

ESPHome

Heya,

I’m currently trying to connect my Wemos D1 Mini to HiveMQ, they require TLS to be enabled in order for this to work.
Is there any way to enable TLS via MQTT on a ESP8266? When I try it says that a esp-idf compatible device is required, aka. a ESP32. My current project however doesn’t allow for one, is it still somehow possible to get this going? Or, worst case, to ignore TLS and still connect to HiveMQ? It’s non-critical data, only controlling a fridge relay on/off :slight_smile:

Thanks!
