hass_agent setup fails on HA

I tried to install the extention and it gave me this error. I'm also having issues connecting to MQTT.

hm, you don't have mqtt and you'd like to use local api connection?

You need the Mqtt integration In integrations page That's the client that connects to the Mqtt add on(broker) you already setup

Home Assistant MQTT Install and Setup - A Beginner's Guide

MQTT and Home Assistant are extremely powerful when paired together and can be used on a wide range of applications, but what is MQTT and how does it work? How do we add it to our Home Assistant Installation? In this video I will show you how to install the Mosquitto Broker add-on in Home Assistant and install the MQTT integration so that you ca...

You need to ensure your add on(broker) is correctly setup and running. Then the integration should connect to local host(127.0.0.1) with the port, and credentials you setup. That video will help

ambitious-aquaOP•3w ago

I watched this video

DrR0x•3w ago

Okay can you send screenshots of the logs of your Mqtt add on

ambitious-aquaOP•3w ago

I dont see any logs for it

DrR0x•3w ago

Can you send a scrshot of the add on configuration?

ambitious-aquaOP•3w ago

like this?

DrR0x•3w ago

Do you have an Mqtt broker on that Synology address?

ambitious-aquaOP•3w ago

I dont see anything mqtt related other than this so i guess no?

DrR0x•3w ago

Does That Synology address point to your HA or your PC?

ambitious-aquaOP•3w ago

HA in installed inside a container in synology whenever i connect to HA from other devices i use that address its a reverse proxy the container shares the same ip with the host i think otherwise i would have seen it as a seperate IP in my router i think

DrR0x•3w ago

Docker? Or a VM?

ambitious-aquaOP•3w ago

docker i made it inside portainer

DrR0x•3w ago

Okay, you need to setup this

The one you said wants some pro mqtt broker thingy with a trial why would a protocol need a trial

DrR0x•3w ago

Yep Just need a broker

ambitious-aquaOP•3w ago

If i just want to use the program to launch scripts and whatever i dont need mqtt right? like the mobile app

DrR0x•3w ago

No technically not, although I've never used local API, so just thought I'd check if you could use mqtt As @Amadeo said above, there is currently a bug in our integration preventing local API. Hopefully we can fix it soon, although can't make promises as Mqtt takes priority. If you checkout that GitHub issue linked at the top you may be able to fix it yourself by commenting out a few lines

ambitious-aquaOP•3w ago

yea i did comment them out and managed to make a quick action seems to work fine although it would have been nice if i could combo more keys other than just ctrl+something

Amadeo•3w ago

I wanted to get it done in the morning (afternoon here atm) but investigation of the lhm eaten my time again... Will work on the integration today evening or tmrw morning for sure As it got lil forgotten about At least get the mqtt requirement removed as a starter
