homebridge and aqualinkd on two different machines about aqualinkd HOT 5 CLOSED

Can you post aqualinkd.conf please

You may also find Homebridge-aqualinkd easier to configure that homekit2mqtt. Check documentation / wiki. Both require Mqtt though so it may not solve your problem.

I’m assuming you have MQTT running on 192.168.1.107. Is that correct?

Thanks in advance

192.168.1.107 is the aqualind
192.168.1.196 is the homebridge

Here is at least one problem, you're pointing to two different MQTT servers.

Aqualinkd is configured to
mqtt_address = 192.168.1.196:1883

Homekit's mqtt is
"mqtt": {
"host": "192.168.1.107",
"port": 1883,
"topic": "aqualinkd"
},

They need to be the same MQTT server. I would assume you need to change 192.168.1.107 to 192.168.1.196. But that's a guess, both configurations should be pointing to your MQTT server, (the machine running mosquito).

In Homebridge, you have two IP's to configure.

"platforms": [
{
"platform": "aqualinkd",
"name": "aqualinkd",
"server": "192.168.1.107", <- This is aqualinkd machine
"port": "80",
"mqtt": {
"host": "192.168.1.107", <- This is MQTT server
"port": 1883,
"topic": "aqualinkd"
},
"excludedDevices": []
},
