page MQTT Instructions on how to setup MQTT within Home Assistant. 2015-08-07 18:00 true false true true mqtt.png Hub true pre 0.7 local push

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.

Your first step to get MQTT and Home Assistant working is to choose a broker.

To integrate MQTT into Home Assistant, add the following section to your configuration.yaml file.

To connect to your own MQTT broker:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
mqtt:
  broker: IP_ADDRESS_BROKER

You can also use the embedded MQTT broker. A separate broker is advised for more stability.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
mqtt:
  password: hello

This allows you to connect to the MQTT broker with user homeassistant and password hello.
