MQTT configuration + request for DockerHub repo about volvooncall HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi,

Sorry to answer this question quite late, but I do not very often visit this github place anymore, as it looks that this project is more or less dead. Issues are not answered by the creator of this Python script and pull requests are not reviewed.

I'd like to use volvooncall and MQTT publishing to my MQTT broker. I have set up a Docker container but it looks like that a mqtt config file is missing. Could anybody help me out to find out:

It is not actually a MQTT config file. It is part of the .voc.conf file

where to put this config file?

This .voc.conf is a hidden file and you have to place it in your home directory.

an example of how this config file should look like?

If you need to communicate with a MQTT server, not installed on the same device as where the script runs, the config should be:

mqtt_url: mqtt://Username:Password@IP Address:1883
username: Login name for your Volvo on Call app
password: Password used to login in your Volvo on Call app

If your MQTT server is on the same device as the script omit the first line.
If your MQTT server is not secured with a username and a password the line looks as follows:
mqtt_url: mqtt://IP Address:1883

For a detailed guide, see Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 at: https://github.com/FireWizard52/Volvo-on-Call-to-Domoticz-Howto/blob/master/Volvo%20on%20Call%20to%20Domoticz%20Howto.pdf

I hope this is sufficient to make it work

Regards

from volvooncall.
