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 …

Definately going to try this. Unfortunately I’m running a WD my cloud at home, so don’t know if that one can be used too. Docker is available for it. Don’t know yet if Mosquito can be installed. I read the thread that it also should work without a personal cloud. If someone have any explanations abo…

[image] Issues Setting Up MQTT For HASS Before you know, you’re the one with 95% of the knowledge and explaining others how to get things up and running :wink:. Told you!
