I’m new to Hubitat and I mainly got it for its Zwave and zigbee capabilities. I want to continue using HA as my front end and hub for all non zwave/zigbee devices. I was looking at the MQTT bridge and I feel dumb for not understanding what I need to do. Is there a step by step guide for this? If no…

Are you also running Node-RED either within HASS.io or separately ? You would find it very useful as a topic mapper / translator between Hubitat and HA.

No. Don't know a whole lot about Node Red. I've simply just heard of it. I will look into to it to see what it does. Thanks.

Basically HA posts its updates to MQTT using a fixed topic structure that you set up when you configure it. Hubitat does similar. What Node-RED can do is watch one topic for any update and repost that update (optionally with some changes to the actual information) to another topic on the same brok…

EDIT: I think I got it. I has to make sure I uncomment the password and username lines. Thanks. I followed all the steps there. And I think I did it all right, but I'm not seeing any messages being posted to my MQTT Broker. And in 'Devices' the MQTT Device just shows unknown. Any ideas as to what I…

OK. I've got almost everything working, but for some reason, I can turn the light off, but I can't turn it on via Home Assistant. Any ideas why that might be the case? It's definitely updating the cmd topic to 'on'. I can see it on the broker that is happening. EDIT:I figured it out. Instead of the…

Great... sounds like you’re on a roll. MQTT coupled with NodeRed are really powerful as your system becomes multi controller.

Where did you find the username and password? And did you mean comment them out?

I've got this working pretty well now as well. All of my zigbee and z-wave devices are paired with the hubitat, but my automations are in appDaemon on HA. It really works! My experience so far is that it's both stable and fast, and I'm just running hass.io on a VirtualBox. I wish I had an identica…

I would love to see a Hubitat rewrite eliminating the bridge component. It was necessary on ST but not needed on HE and causes issues. BTW is your Hass.io addon an MQTT broker or the bridge part .. or both ?
