Question: HomeAssistant OS - MQTT Addon - without user and password

Configuration

Hello,

I try to connect to the broker without username and password.

My system is:

I have installed the MQTT - Addon with this configuration:

certfile: fullchain.pem
customize:
  active: true
  folder: mosquitto
keyfile: privkey.pem
logins: []
require_certificate: false
anonymous: true

Additionally I created this files:

Then i searched for the mosquitto.conf but can´t find it:

In this file I should set allow_anonymous true I guess?

Did I miss anything or is there an easier way to subscribe and publish to all without user and password?

Hi Crash123Crash123,

Hi, I am sorry, I do not know what I have done but it is working for me since a while.

I installed an external container for mqtt. My sensor sends to this broker and HAOS is also connected to this external one. I was not able to use the internal one.

That is the same how it is working here. I hoped it could be integrated.
For now I give it up and leave it separated.

Thanks.

Worked arround it with a different MQTT engine: EMQX. Now it works. It has a great UI.

This youtube explains it all nicely: AWESOME EMQX MQTT Broker add-on. Excellent UI for Home Assistant! - YouTube

If you do not add the authentication part, it will work for devices without name/password.
