MQTT Broker Adress

Open Cunner opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

Hello, im pretty new in home Automation and i want to set up my first sonoff device via homebridge. I saw in the config file that i need to put in the "url": "mqtt://MQTT–BROKER-ADDRESS", where do i get this Adress from ? Sorry for the noob question.
Thanks!

is it the ip adress of the homebridge rasberry pi?

You need to run an MQTT–BROKER on your Pi like Mosquitto or you use a service on the internet. In my case the Broker ip was the same as my ubuntu server.

If you're just starting out with a few sonoff devices then I'd suggest you try the HTTP version and leave MQTT for later. MQTT provides more robust network but adds extra complexity in a dependency on a third running system (MQTT message broker like Mosquito).
