What should the content of *.conf be written?
customize (Optional): If you enable it, it read additional config files (*.conf) from /share/mosquitto
Is there an example file? and template file?
it’s the same *.conf file you would use for a standard mqtt bridge.
Mine (for cloudmqtt) looks like this (just fill out the stuff in “<>”):
connection cloudmqtt
address <server_address>:<server_port>
remote_username <username>
remote_password <password>
clientid <client_name>
try_private false
start_type automatic
topic # in

Thank you! I try it.
What should the ‘clientid’ be? Can it be anything? I’ve used ‘hassio’ but I get the following error when in MQTT.

My BAD!!! I had the @#@#$%^%^ CloudMQTT address wrong! I had m11.cloudmqtt.com instead of m13.cloudmqtt.com even though I’d recorded the correct address in my network database. Argh. That’ll teach me for trying to do home automation at 1130 at night.
