To get started, please email customer.service@tepeo.com with the following information:
- IP address of your Home Assistant installation (e.g. 192.168.1.100)
- Username for your Mosquitto account
- Password for your Mosquitto account
- Port used by your Home Assistant installation (“1883” is the default)
- The discovery prefix of your MQTT client (“homeassistant” is the default)
After you send us this information, we’ll set everything up for you and confirm when your ZEB is ready to use with Home Assistant.
