mqtt

Establishes connectivity with an MQTT broker. When the connection is active, evcc automatically pushes all internal values to the specified topic via the MQTT broker and also receives changes there. For more information, refer to the MQTT API documentation.

For example:

# mqtt message broker
mqtt:
  broker: localhost:1883
  topic: evcc # root topic for publishing, set empty to disable publishing
  # clientid: foo
  # user:
  # password:
