Since you did not configure the user/password in the solar_assistant.conf file, can you double check in solar assistant if you should have supplied it?
So, I tried adding the login/password. It didn’t change anything.
I tried to remove the login/password in Zigbee2MQTT, MQTT, and Mosquitto broker, but I couldn’t get it to work.
As soon as I change the parameter in Mosquitto broker from false to true, nothing works anymore.
So, I still did some research and in several places, they recommend uninstalling the Mosquitto broker and reinstalling it from scratch.
I’m afraid to do that—afraid of losing the 50 Zigbee devices in Zigbee2MQTT.
In Z2M I have the same user and password as the HA login.
Are you sure that the SA IP address (192.168.69.157) is correct?
Try restarting the host after setting it up correctly, not just HA
