Hi, Very new to this but got all set up and integrated in to Home Assistant. first start all good!
I have an MQTT server on my network, where I like to keep everything together.
I think I read that the LCD uses the legacy MQTT presumably on the local pi, if i was to change the settings in the php file to a remote MQTT broker I assume I am likely to break the LCD screen?
Would a better option be to use NodeRed on the EmonPi to replicate the MQTT to my main broker or is this out of date info?
I bridge both brokers both ways for all topics (actually 3 brokers, PVE, HomeAssistant & EmonPi). It doesn’t appear to really use any resources to do so and is just simple.
Running in a dedicated LXC Ubuntu container on PVE (which really is the best way to run stuff IMHO).
[edit]
Just had to look and remind myself how
Create a conf file for the bridge, include the connection details and
topic # out 0
topic # in 0
I also add in the log settings.
IIRC I had to fiddle with logrotate so the mosquitto logs rotated correctly.
