sending position data to an MQTT broker
It was just implemented recently:
5 days ago?!?
Thank you Anton, you guys are superstars :)
Traccar runs on an Ubuntu LXC container in Proxmox. Home Assistant runs as a VM on the same Proxmox node with an IP address of 192.168.22.11. The Mosquitto broker runs as an add-on/integration within HA.
I modified my traccar.xml with the following code but it does not send any location data to the broker, mind the vehicle has been stationary for 10 hours now.
Do I miss something obvious?
<entry key='event.forward.type'>mqtt</entry>
<entry key='event.forward.url'>mqtt://my_mqtt_user:my_password@192.168.22.11:1883</entry>
<entry key='event.forward.topic'>traccar/events</entry>
I reckon that QoS level is 0, right?
Also, could I alter the topic or should it be left as traccar/events?
EDIT:
The RUT955 unit is on the same network - the Proxmox server is installed in said vehicle.
Checking the Mosquitto logs I found this. Could this be traccar?

I recommended asking on the GitHub pull request directly. It was a contribution, so I haven't actually tried it myself yet.
Hello Anton.
I have my application in the Traccar cloud.
Would it be possible for me to send the tracker data to my MQTT server?
Thanks!
It should be possible. We have MQTT position forwarding.
Could you tell me how I configure the Traccar server to send the data to my MQTT server. I saw some information on the forum, but it seemed to be related to local Traccar user servers.
Thank you for your attention and help.
If the question is about a subscription, please email support.
Thank you Anton!
I am sending the question about my account to support.

Hi,
one of the devices I use on the traccar server is a Teltonika RUT955 which works absolutely fine with the server.
I would like to monitor this device in the web interface as usual but I would also like to send this device's position data to Home Assistant through Mosquitto.
Could you give me some guidance how this would be achievable, please?
