<p>MQTT (aka MQ Telemetry Transport) is a machine-to-machine or “Internet of Things” connectivity protocol on top of TCP/IP. It allows extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>To integrate MQTT into Home Assistant, add the following section to your <code>configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
|

<p>Configuration variables:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><strong>broker</strong> (<em>Required</em>): The IP address of your MQTT broker, e.g. 192.168.1.32.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>port</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The network port to connect to. Default is 1883.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>client_id</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Client ID that Home Assistant will use. Has to be unique on the server. Default is a random generated one.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>keepalive</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The keep alive in seconds for this client. Default is 60.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>username</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The username to use with your MQTT broker.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>password</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The corresponding password for the username to use with your MQTT broker.</li>
|
||
<li><strong>certificate</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Certificate to use to encrypt communication with the broker.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h2><a class="title-link" name="picking-a-broker" href="#picking-a-broker"></a> Picking a broker</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>The MQTT component needs you to run an MQTT broker for Home Assistant to connect to. There are three options, each with various degrees of ease of setup and privacy.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h4><a class="title-link" name="run-your-own" href="#run-your-own"></a> Run your own</h4>
|
||
|
||
<p>Most private option but requires a bit more work. There are two free and open-source brokers to pick from: <a href="http://mosquitto.org/">Mosquitto</a> and <a href="http://www.mosca.io/">Mosca</a>.</p>

<h4><a class="title-link" name="cloudmqtt" href="#cloudmqtt"></a> CloudMQTT</h4>

<p><a href="https://www.cloudmqtt.com">CloudMQTT</a> is a hosted private MQTT instance that is free up to 10 connected devices. This is enough to get started with for example <a href="/components/device_tracker.owntracks/">OwnTracks</a> and give you a taste of what is possible.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p class="note">
|

Home Assistant is not affiliated with CloudMQTT nor will receive any kickbacks.

<p>For debugging purposes <code>mosquitto</code> is shipping commandline tools to send and recieve MQTT messages. For sending test messages to a broker running on localhost:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
|
||
<div class="code"><pre>$ mosquitto_pub -h 127.0.0.1 -t home-assistant/switch/1/on -m "Switch is ON"
|
||
</pre></div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
<p>Another way to send MQTT messages by hand is to use the “Developer Tools” in the Frontend. Choose “Call Service” and then <code>mqtt/mqtt_send</code> under “Available Services”. Enter something similar to the example below into the “Service Data” field.</p>
