Configure MQTT on Tasmota

Configure your MQTT Server in Tasmota. See Tasmota MQTT Documentation for more details.

Please leave the Full Topic as it is in default configuration (and on the screenshot).

Change the topic to something unique for your panel, you will need this topic later in the configuration of your panel in appdaemon / apps.yaml

Note for Appdeamon Addon Version >= 15

The configuration has been moved out of the config folder from homeassistant. This is how you can access it with the VSCode Addon.
