<h1>MQTT security<a class="headerlink" href="#mqtt-security" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>The library allows you to use credentials for acquiring a TCP connection with the MQTT broker.
By default you can use the same credentials you use for login in the Home Assistant panel but you can also configure custom credentials in the Mosquitto broker.</p>
<div class="admonition danger">
<p class="admonition-title">Danger</p>
<p>This solution is not 100% secure because communication between Arduino and Home Assistant is not encrypted.
Username and password can be easily discovered by analyzing your local network traffic.
However, that’s fine as long as your local network is secured against unattended access.
On more powerful devices (like ESP), you should consider using TLS/SSL connection.</p>
