Multiple mqtt clients - how?

[jmceara (Jonis Maurin Ceará)]

Hi!
It’s possible to have multiple mqttclients in esphome?
I would like to publish my sensor value do 2 different mqtt brokers. How do I get this working?

Tks!

PS: Only sensor values, do not need to control anything in my ESP device.

I don’t know the answer, but an alternative consideration is broker-to-broker, sometimes referred to as bridging. If you use mosquitto, you can configure the broker to connect to another broker and configure it for what topics to send/receive. So you could get your ESPHome to publish/subscribe to broker A and then have broker A connect to broker B and to send/receive these same topics.

Tks! I’ll look into this solution!

Possibility to configure multiple MQTT Servers (more than one)

I would really love to see a way to configure multiple MQTT Servers in the MQTT integration. Right now, it seems, that the limit is one… which should work for MOST cases, but in some others you might have different systems that have their own built in MQTT server. I know, that you could configure a bridge, but what is the reason for limiting the configuration to one? [image]
