NetAlertX comes with MQTT support, allowing you to show all detected devices as devices in Home Assistant. It also supplies a collection of stats, such as number of online devices.
- Please note that discovery takes about ~10s per device.
- Deleting of devices is not handled automatically. Please use MQTT Explorer to delete devices in the broker (Home Assistant), if needed.
