Hi All, To create a dashboard i’ve set up an Raspberry PI 4 with Home assistant OS, with lan connected to the router. Installed MQTT Client, Broker and Hub apps on homey. Watched all movies from HomeyCornelisse on youtube (what a guy and excellent tutorials), but i get stuck trying to connect HA MQTT with homey. after setting homey’s ip i found in the Unifi app, username and password all i get is ‘failed to connect’ what am i doing wrong? ---

Maybe this is of any help > [@\[TUTORIAL\] Setting up MQTT on Homey for configuring Home Assistant for dashboard purposes](https://community.homey.app/t/tutorial-setting-up-mqtt-on-homey-for-configuring-home-assistant-for-dashboard-purposes/10880): > > Hi, i would like to share instructions of how to setup MQTT on Homey to make your devices visible in Home Assistant with a Synology NAS. Thanks a lot to @HarriedeGroot for creating the MQTT Hub, @scanno for the MQTT Client (and Broker, which unfortunately will not be included in this tutorial since my setup is on a Synology NAS with Mosquitto as a broker) and @Gustav_Tillback for initially sharing the first steps in creating this setup which will be explained in further detail below DISCLAIMER\*… ---

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, in that topic the mqtt broker is a separate docker on a nas and not an add on in HA. ---

I know, but connection and authentication is general stuff? > [@Franky\_d](#): > > excellent tutorials Probably not 🤦‍♂️ hehe. So you use mqtt broker on HA? Same here. - Do you have mqtt hub and mqtt client apps installed on Homey? - I use a unique created login (for mqtt only) - I didn’t need Homey’s IP address, so I don’t know what Cornelisse told you? - HA mqtt broker setting: - Homey mqtt client: - HA mqtt integration (I used the local HA IP address, 127.0.0.1 should work also) ---

Hi Peter, Thanks again for the help. I couldnt find mosquitto broker as add on on HA, i have a broker app installed on homey, as well as mqtt client and mqtt hub. So i need to add homey’s ip in the mqtt app on HA, that’s where i get stuck. The tutorials and video’s can be found on homeycornellise.nl ---

The broker for HA can be found in the addon section of HA: [http://192.168.1.200:8123/hassio/addon/core\_mosquitto/info](http://192.168.1.200:8123/hassio/addon/core_mosquitto/info) change the IP to your local HA IP! ---
