I am trying to connect using to HiveMQ Public Broker by using MQTT Engine, but it does not connect to the broker for some reason, how can i fill out the information?

This is the broker information:  
I use node red to publish the information using normal MQTT out node and it shows when i connect and subscribe from a web socket client

You should be targeting port `8883/tcp` with MQTT Engine, not the websocket port. Try the following for your URL:

```python
ssl://broker.hivemq.com:8883

```
