Find the MQTT Broker

[vandy]

I am wanting to setup a Sonoff S31 plug on my eisy admin console. I have the S31 flashed with Tasmota and running, I have it pointed to my eisy but I do not know how to find it there. I have read not to down load a new MQTT agent because there are two of them running on the system already. I have attached some photos of the setup. Where do I find the MQTT Broker on my eisy system I do not see it and how do I retrieve the information?

Thank you

Install the MQTT nodeserver from the plugins store on the PG3 home page, by trilife. Note that they do not necessarily appear in alphabetical order in the store.

I did install the Node Server and reading the info I get an error telling me I do not have access rights, see attached. Thank you for the Node Server help.

Hi @vandy,

I'm traveling at the moment, won't get to my rig in a couple of weeks to help with specifics.

Looking at your screenshot though, you seem to have problems with accessing the UDI Forum, is that correct?

Were you able to install the MQTT plug-in (node server) and configure it, so it says "connected" in the PG3 home page? If so, when logging into the Admin Console, you should see an entry called MQTT on the left side panel, which shows all the devices you added during configuration of the plug-in.

Let me know how you progress.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply, I think not getting to this page is the least of my problems. If you look at the attached when I click on the "this thread" it gives me the error that I don't have access rights to the page, and I am logged in. But as far as the other questions I did install the MQTT plug in and I do see it in my Admin Console but just the MQTT icon no devices. But back on the Polyglot V3 page I am getting an error of "Waiting on valid configuration" of the MQTT(3) when setting up the plug-in.

Have you created a device file (.yaml), saved it on the eISY and pointed your devfile to it (last config parameter)?

[vandy]

No I have not, I have not seen any doc that tell me that and I have looked. I do not know how to save a file to my eisy or the devfile. I have only had Insteon devices in the past and my programs for that. If you can point me to a doc on this I am more than happy to work on it.

Thank you again for the help

Hi @vandy

If you look at the page of the screenshot with the 5 configuration parameters, there should be a full set of instructions on how to create a devfile. Also try to click MQTTs INFO button in the Plug-in store, which should lead you to the configuration instructions...

If you don't know how to save files to eISY, you may want to poke around the forum to familiarize yourself with SSH, putty, MobaXterm etc...

I'm not close to a computer until the end of the month, so unfortunately I'll be of limited help. Sorry about that.

Cheers
