Tasmota V2 MQTT

You will need a working MQTT broker before enabling MQTT integration.

From the Tasmota v2 main menu, open MQTT.

On this firmware, the MQTT enable checkbox lives on the Other parameters page rather than in a separate MQTT-only screen. The main menu MQTT button takes you directly to that page.

Tasmota v2 MQTT settings

For newer Smart Hut plugs:

  • Ensure MQTT enable is checked
  • Set Device Name and Friendly Name 1 if you want a friendlier label in your automation system
  • Click Save

The default MQTT topic is smarthutpm-XXXXXX, where XXXXXX is based on the plug MAC address. This gives each plug a unique topic by default.

If your setup also needs broker host, port, username, password, or full topic settings, open Advanced, then Configuration, and check whether your firmware exposes the standard Tasmota MQTT configuration page after MQTT is enabled.

Suggested use cases:

  • Use MQTT for Home Assistant discovery if you prefer the Tasmota integration over Matter.
  • Use MQTT for Node-RED, custom dashboards, or other automation systems.
  • Keep the default topic for a single plug, or set a clearer unique topic such as kitchen-plug if you manage multiple devices.
