Notes

Setup mycroft.conf

Add the following lines to your settings.json and adjust to your needs. If you are using SSL and a self signed certificate you will need to change mqttca to the location of your cerftificate, Or you can add it the default trusted certificates.

Copy your certificate to directory:sudo cp yourcert.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/yourcert.crt
Update the CA store:sudo update-ca-certificates

    "mqttca": "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt",
    "mqtthost": "example.com",
    "mqttport": 8883,
    "mqttuser": "user",
    "mqttpass": "pass"

Thats it, now start mycroft and start turning your light on and off.
