Looking for some guidance around if its possible to set up an energy sensor to work with OH2

i have picked up a few parts hoping a could get this working and have already hit a wall

equipment i was looking at using
Current Transformer AC current sensor 100A SCT-013-000
ESP8266 Mains Power Sensor
Wemos D1 Mini

as set up in the link - ESP8266 Mains Power Sensor by Dimwit-Dave - Thingiverse

i normal content a sensor with Esp easy and use MQTT however cant this time so found this code but the is no way to add user name and password for my MQTT Broker?

can anyone give me any advise or other way to do this as i have been researching for a few days and still haven’t got an answer

Thanks

This is pretty much well outside the scope of openHAB so you will likely find your answer on some other forum.

A quick scan of the code shows it to be massively incomplete. There are no imports of any MQTT libraries. Nor are any of the variables defined for connecting to the wifi used anywhere. There isn’t a loop function either.

I see sorry for posting this question I thought someone may have completed something similar and been able to offer support. Most of the guides on other sites have no way to link to OH that I can see.

Also sorry for the confusion that was only part of the code to highlight my issue with not having a way to set the password and use for the broker

The full code it in the link here GitHub - Mottramlabs/MQTT-Power-Sensor

Thanks

Rarely will you find openHAB mentioned on these sorts of tutorials. But if they can use MQTT there’s an add-on for that in openHAB. If they can use HTTP there’s an add-on for that in openHAB.
