I am trying to use the mqtt mosquito integration available in supervisor and do so without authentication (I know not the best practice but nothing touches the network)
Ideally I would have auth for everything and just whitelist one device which I can’t authenticate with.
Essentially I have a fridge that sends its mqtt data to a provider that I can’t connect to (username/pass etc) - so my issue comes in the fridge sending the username/pass
I have set anonymous logon to true but that will only accept a login if no password is passed, because password is passed I am getting
Socket error on client , disconnecting.
I have setup another mosquito mqtt on unraid docket and the device connected fine and reports the data (so I can start writing an integration)
But - I would really prefer to just have all mqtt in the same HomeAssiatant install
How can I get the fridge to authenticate ?
I see in changelog for 6.0.0 that support for anonymous logon was removed - but - why ?
I get wanting it by default but if we WANT to allow anyone to connect shouldn’t we be able to?
To add to the above - I NEED anonymous because I don’t have the username/password details for the fridge - therefore I can’t even create an account to allow the connection…
