page MQTT Certificate Instructions how to setup MQTT with a certificate in Home Assistant. 2015-08-07 18:00 true false true true mqtt.png

Using certificates will give you an additional layer of security for your MQTT communication.

To integrate MQTT with certificate into Home Assistant, add the following section to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
mqtt:
  certificate: /home/paulus/dev/addtrustexternalcaroot.crt

Configuration variables:

  • certificate (Optional): 'auto' or the certificate authority certificate file that is to be treated as trusted by this client. 'auto' uses the bundled certificates. If a file is specified the file should contain the root certificate of the certificate authority that signed your broker's certificate, but may contain multiple certificates. Example: /home/user/identrust-root.pem
  • client_key (Optional): Client key, eg. /home/user/owntracks/cookie.key.
  • client_cert (Optional): Client certificate, eg. /home/user/owntracks/cookie.crt.
