Where to Install MQTT Explorer?

Is MQTT Explorer installed within Home Assistant or as an independent, standalone installation?

Hi.

@01Time

Is MQTT Explorer installed within Home Assistant or as an independent, standalone installation?

It is not installed within Home assistant.

Mqtt Exporer needs to be installed on a computer and can read the data from the Mqtt broker witch can be running in HA.

There’s a new add-on that allows you to run MQTT Explorer in Home Assistant and access it in the browser.

• Custom add-on repository: GitHub - adamoutler/mqtt-explorer: A home assistant repository for MQTT Explorer
• Reddit thread: https://reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/xny91j/mqtt_explorer_addon/

• Click the “…” menu in the top right, and click “Repositories”
• Paste https://github.com/adamoutler/mqtt-explorer into the input, then click the “Add” button
• Then wait a little while and refresh the page. If you search for MQTT you should now see the add on:
