Everything I read implies the MQTT broker is running on localhost… This has me confused about how to configure OpenHAB for my particular use since I’m using a cloud-based MQTT broker. I have a ESP8266 Arduino sketch that is communicating to my HVAC system of my vacation home (System isn’t compatib…

Openhab will connect to any mqtt server, just set the right address instead of localhost. See the example configuration at https://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/mqtt1/readme.html

Thanks… While I think I’ve read every piece of OpenHAB documentation with MQTT in the title, I think I lack the context for where to configure and test if it’s working or not. Especially where can I see it in a UI? From the first document - I can assume my binding is correct since the log indicat…
