    # Install Mosquitto on Raspberry Pi with OpenHAB

    Install a raspberry pi with the latest OpenHABian version.

    ## Install Mosquitto

    wget http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
    sudo apt-key add mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
    rm mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
    cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
    sudo wget http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-jessie.list
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install mosquitto mosquitto-clients

    Edit the mosquitto config file at `/etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf` and add the following line:

    listener 1883

    Now restart the service with `sudo /etc/init.d/mosquitto restart`.

    ## Test Mosquitto
    mosquitto_sub -d -t hello/world

    Connect to another ssh session and run

    mosquitto_pub -d -t hello/world -m "Hello from terminal window 2!"

    ## Configure OpenHAB
    Now install Mosquitto binding and enter `binding-mqtt1` in the `binding` list in the `addons.cfg` file.
    Create a new file `services/mqtt.cfg` and enter the following content:

    mosquitto.url=tcp://localhost:1883
    mosquitto.clientId=OpenHAB2
    mosquitto.user=<user>
    mosquitto.pwd=<password>

    Then restart openhab with `sudo /etc/init.d/openhab2 restart`.
