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:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
mqtt:
|
|
broker: IP_ADDRESS
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For detailed setup instructions, please refer to the [MQTT broker](/docs/mqtt/broker) documentation.
