Ta for the post, I have a victron which really should be talking to the Pi!
Looks like it doesn't matter what you put in the MQTT tab for remote broker/port fields , it uses the local 127.0.0.1 (localport) and 1883 as well as the remote broker and the same password.
One good thing about having a remote broker is you can look at the mqtt online or using FRED, the web based node-red but it turns itself off if you don't log on once a day so you loose any graphs.
