Node red integrate to "normal" HA not hassio

[ekesa (Fredric)]

Hi,

First post here so be gentle

Is it possible to use node red to a standard installation of Home Assistant version 0.73.2, not a Hass.io installation? If so, how do i do that?

if you have node red installed go into palette and look for home assistant. I chose the web socket version but there are more options

I think that worked, i can see some home-assistant attributes now.
Thank you!

Just a noob question, did you use node-red-contrib-home-assistant?

EDIT, FYI: I trying something similar with MQTT:

My first steps discovering Home Assistant, setting up a HA client to an existing MQTT Broker

Ok, looks like I could use that. so my setup looks something like: # Example configuration.yaml entry mqtt: broker: localhost port: 8883 username: <MY_USER_NAME> password: <MY_PASSWORD> tls_insecure: true If I use the tls_insecure-option will this mean my MQTT-broker self-signed certificate will not be verified and the certificate-option has not to be used?
