Need to hash password
Posted: Sunday 10 March 2019 17:38
Hi,
I'm trying to build a plugin to connect to the MQTT broker in my Dyson PureLink fan. I've got some stand alone Pyhon code to get it working based on the PAHO MQTT client, which has a method which works great.
Now when I want to integrate this into a domoticz plugin, I run into an issue. The MQTT broker requires a password on connection. I'm trying to use the built in MQTT connection but that only takes the 'Password' parameter from the plugin as password. And that is not encrypted. I've tried to overwrite the password but that doesn't work:
This returns nicely a hashed password in the log, but the connection is built using the plain password (which I log as well). How can I solve this?
