Couldn't resolve IP address for 'core-mosquitto'! | Home Assistant | Page 1

Hey, today i tried to set up mqtt but i'm a bit at a loss what to use as broker address/host/ip/terminology

appdaemon on the same machine as home assistant happily conencts to mosquitto with core-mosquitto as host (2022-12-28 14:30:16.178353 INFO MQTT: Connected to Broker at URL core-mosquitto:1883 2022-12-28 14:30:16.631683 INFO AppDaemon: Got initial state from namespace mqtt 2022-12-28 14:30:16.632434 INFO MQTT: MQTT Plugin initialization complete)

but a device flashed with esphome and configured to the same address ( mqtt_ip: core-mosquitto) does not ([14:41:54][W][mqtt:141]: Couldn't resolve IP address for 'core-mosquitto'! [14:41:55][D][mqtt:117]: Resolving MQTT broker IP address...)

ive tested with a different device (my windows pc) to netcat to core-mosquitto, home assistant ip, different ports, but i cant figure out how to connect.

any pointers pretty please?

#

i think, from what few threads ive found, that mDNS isn't working (correctly), but im not sure how to test

core-mosquitto is a local name only

tight marsh Dec 28, 2022, 1:44 PM

#

this

#

It's specific for the Docker stack

#

Use the IP of the computer running it

quartz glade Dec 28, 2022, 1:44 PM

#

Use the machine’s IP address for the host in your esp config

tight marsh Dec 28, 2022, 1:44 PM

#

And ensure that you've got a static DHCP lease for it (or you've set a fixed IP)

#

my hass is on http://10.0.0.225:8123/, do i just smash in 10.0.0.225 in esp? port?

tight marsh Dec 28, 2022, 1:45 PM

#

Yes, and port 1883

quartz glade Dec 28, 2022, 1:45 PM

#

But as an aside, why use mqtt on esphome?

glacial fjord Dec 28, 2022, 1:45 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

honestly best asnwer i got hehe

my other stuff is esphome as well so i figured it'd be nicely concatenated

tight marsh Dec 28, 2022, 1:46 PM

#

There's a native integration for it, no MQTT required

im at this step of nspanel as more abckground info

#

Configure your MQTT Server in Tasmota

#

Tasmota != ESPHome

tight marsh Dec 28, 2022, 1:47 PM

#

Ah yes, so that's for AppDaemon and NSPanel, not HA

#

Try removing the port

glacial fjord Dec 28, 2022, 1:48 PM

#

im 99% sure i've tried this ip before but flashing in progress

#

doesnt hurt to double try

tight marsh Dec 28, 2022, 1:48 PM

#

If it doesn't work, install MQTT Explorer or your choice of MQTT client software on your computer and test the details there

i uh

#

oh i cant send images

Please use imgur or other image sharing web sites, and share the link here.

Image posting is blocked in most channels to discourage people from sharing text as images. Sharing text as images assumes that everybody sees the world as you do, which isn't the case. Some people are colour blind, or have visual impairment that means they can't make sense of an image of text.

these certainly are letters

#

this is baby's first mqtt

tight marsh Dec 28, 2022, 1:53 PM

#

So, you can connect, which is good

#

Can you publish to a new topic?

glacial fjord Dec 28, 2022, 1:55 PM

#

admittedly im very new to mqtt so may need a minute here and there while i figure out what words mean 😅

#

do i just -

tight marsh Dec 28, 2022, 1:55 PM

#

Create, say, petunia as the topic and publish a raw payload of whale

#

If it doesn't error then we know that the user account works

glacial fjord Dec 28, 2022, 1:55 PM

#

i published a few messages under that topic

tight marsh Dec 28, 2022, 1:56 PM

#

I'd head over to the ESPHome Discord, or #diy-archived here, to troubleshoot why your ESP is being weird

glacial fjord Dec 28, 2022, 1:56 PM

shows up on the left tree as well

ESPHome is a system to control your ESP8266/ESP32, with a native integration for Home Assistant.

You can find their documentation here, and get help with ESPHome itself here in the #diy-archived channel (#integrations-archived for the Home Assistant side integration with it). They also have their own Discord server too.

#

will do

#

youve helped me verify mqtt and mosquitto and the addon and such work fine

#

thats already a huge help

#

thank you!

glacial fjord Dec 28, 2022, 2:52 PM

#

i've not yet tried the esphome server or anything, just been playing around a bit

#

my hass and this its addons are on my main vlan

#

and all my "smart" stuff i threw on an iot vlan, allowing ports/protocols where needed

#

as soon as i put my nspanel on my trusted vlan, mqtt was working fine

#

is this expected? most of my other devices, which are arguable a lot dumber, don't care about the underlying network
