MQTT (aka MQ Telemetry Transport) is a machine-to-machine or "Internet of Things" connectivity protocol on top of TCP/IP. It allows extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport.
To integrate MQTT into Home Assistant, add the following section to your `configuration.yaml` file. Keep in mind that the minimal setup will run with [an embedded MQTT broker](/docs/mqtt/broker#embedded-broker):
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
mqtt:
```
For other setup methods, please refer to the [MQTT broker](/docs/mqtt/broker) documentation.
