Home Assistant MQTT Broker Install

In this video we show you how to install and configure the Mosquitto MQTT Broker in Home Assistant

MQTT is a messaging protocol for IOT devices that opens up a lot of possibilities for Home Assistant

It doesn't need additional hardware because it will run on your existing computer network

But MQTT does require a broker to acts a bit like a Post Office for all the messages

Fortunately Home Assistant is supplied with an MQTT broker add-on

Steps Taken
1) Install Broker
For Home Assistant, we'll install an add-on called Mosquitto broker

2) Create HA user account
We'll create a separate account for the integration software to login with

3) Install Integration
HA needs to connect to the broker so we'll install the MQTT integration

4) Create device account
We'll create a separate account for MQTT devices to login with

5) MQTT-Explorer
This is a very useful tool and we use it to demo how to connect to the broker

After hours of frustrating try and error I found your video. My HA did not auto detect the MQTT integration. The missing peace of information was the Broker name "core-mosquitto". Thank you very much, great video!

[askjeeves]

Great video. i tried following another guide by someone else but it was too far out of date and confused a first timer like me. Thanks

[seanvalencia]

Really helpful getting my home assistant up and running. Thanks!🙏

[MrPeregrines]

Thank You for your great guide! Its working perfectly - except, I dont get any auto discoveries. Is there anything I can do about it?

[expertstatue]

by the way you don't need to edit the username because it auto adds cause it registers if a tasmota or some device connects like shelly or zigbee2mqtt so you do not need to edit the integration mosquito broker add on knows if a device joins via mqtt

@ 9:35, (MQTT Explorer) where did you get the "Host" name from? Thx for the Vid!

Hello, thanks for the tutorial. Only one question, you create a Mqqt Client account, but never show us, where and how to use it, only yhe Mqtt broker account ;)
All the best!

If i want to connect my Tasmota from outside the network it is not connecting.

Не помогло ни разу. У меня нет ни каких аддонов в меню ((( не знаю как подключить новое устройство - сенсор в home assistant. mqtt брокер - его видит и принимает сообщения в топике, но в home assitant не понятно как увидеть показания с этого сенсора
