MQTT and Home Assistant are extremely powerful when paired together and can be used on a wide range of applications, but what is MQTT and how does it work? How do we add it to our Home Assistant Installation? In this video I will show you how to install the Mosquitto Broker add-on in Home Assistant and install the MQTT integration so that you can be up and running with MQTT very quickly! We also discuss a MQTT topics, QoS (Quality of Service) and how to publish and subscribe as well as how to configure a Shelly smart home device with MQTT.
