How do I view/change the config of the MQTT integration?

Configuration
1

I run the MQTT integration and the mqtt add-on. Works fine, but I now want to start using discovery and want to know exactly what discovery_prefix HA is configured to expect? I know the default, but I want to be sure that I didn’t put something else in when I installed the integration.

However, I can’t find any way to see what the configuration currently is. There’s nothin in the GUI and a quick grep of the files in .storage reveals nothing either.

So, where is the config stored?

In .storage. It is a pity that integrations configured through the UI are unable to show their configuration.

Thanks, @francisp. Do you know where? I did grep mqtt * in .storage and all I got was

auth:                    "username": "mqtt"
auth_provider.homeassistant:                "username": "mqtt"
core.config_entries:                "domain": "mqtt",
core.config_entries.sav:                "domain": "mqtt",

It’s a not a pity: it’s a massive mis-step. Allowing integrations to move to GUI installation and not requiring that config management is there from day one was a big mistake.

Relax, it’s getting added. Development takes time.

Sorry, @petro, I know everybody is doing their best. It’s been frustrating to have gone 2 steps forward and (to my mind) 3 steps backwards.

I still have my mqtt configuration in yaml :slight_smile:
