Newbie question about configuring integrated MQTT with Home Assistant

Configuration
1

Hello,

I am just new using Home Assistant but to want use this for my home automation.
I have installed hassio on a Raspberry Pi with a CC2531 ZigBee dongle installed.
To use this I assume that I need a MQTT broker and I want it use the Integrated MQTT broker supplied with hassio.
When configuring the Integrated MQTT broker I need to enter: Broker, Port, Username and Password.
What do I have to enter here? I used several options but always got the following error after pressing submit: Unable to connect to the broker.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Wamor

You seem to be mixing terms here… With the integrated broker you don’t have to configure anything - it will work with the OOTB defaults.

Hi David,

Thank you for your quick reply. I will now install zigbee2mqtt from https://github.com/danielwelch/hassio-zigbee2mqtt to control my ZigBee devices with the CC2531 dongle.

Regards,
