7. If your MQTT broker requires a username and password, enter them in the "MQTT Username" and "MQTT Password" fields respectively. If not, leave them blank.

8. Click "MQTT Tools", and then click the "(Re)connect to MQTT" button. If you see the message "Successfully connected to the MQTT broker", the app has successfully connected to your MQTT broker.

Note

You don't need to click the "(Re)connect to MQTT" button every time you open the app, it will automatically connect to your MQTT broker when you open the app.

You only need to click the "(Re)connect to MQTT" button if you change any of the MQTT settings, or you're experiencing issues with the MQTT integration.
