> 1. Do we need to install an MQTT Server/Broker? If so can we use either the Server/Brokers available (MQTT Server by Emile Nijssen or the MQTT Broker by Menno van Grinsven), if you can recommend one it would be great (again if needed).
> 2. If we only install the AWTRIX Homey App by Radovan Kepák do we need a Broker/Server above?
> 3. Finally if only the AWTRIX is needed dow we need to fill out the MQTT section on the Ulanzi’s web interface? And if we do how do we get the IP address, Port and username and password needed?

1. No.
2. No.
3. No. You connect to your Ulanzi device by providing the IP and user name/password that you created for logging into the web configuration page of the Ulanzi. I am not sure anymore, but if I recall the app finds the Ulanzi clock on the network and you even don’t have to provide the IP manually 😀.
