Optional username/pass & TLS

[t1mb0]

Hi Matthew,

Start off saying thanks for all your hard work on this, it works a treat and has not skipped a beat!!

I recently started using arm-night (after new Inception firmware introduced 'interior night inputs') and after fiddling for a couple of hrs, I realised I was running an ancient version of your code. Image updates I thought were taking place since early last year in fact were not updating! The early 2021 code I was running doesn't recognise the correct AreaPublicStates required for arm night.

Upon updating the docker image I noticed the MQTT broker connection requires a username and pass - and the string breaks if username and password are not supplied. For most of my devices I use TLS, hence no user/pass is setup on my broker. As a result, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment! I can't implement username and password as it will break everything I have setup.

It would be awesome if you could add some smarts to your MQTT connection string to cater for missing username & password in configuration.yml, and if bored, allow for TLS with the three config items required for the certificate paths?!

Thanks once again,

Tim

Hi Tim,
Sorry for the delay on this. I'm actually not a developer, so won't be able to do this myself. If you can arrange someone to do the work and create a pull request, I'll happily merge it in.

Thanks,
Matt
