As a prerequisite, make sure you have an MQTT username and password available. Using Home Assistant in combination with the Mosquitto broker add-on and integration? You can both use a Home Assistant account and a local account. From a security perspective, we recommend a local account as this only provides access to the MQTT Broker and not to your Home Assistant instance.
Now that you are all set, make sure to run the `hass-workstation-service.exe` executable first. This executable is responsible for setting up the sensors and talking with your MQTT Broker. To configure the service, start the `UserInterface.exe` executable.
Add your `hostname` or `IP address`, `port`, `username` and `password` and click on Save. In case you use the Mosquitto add-in, provide port `8883` and check `Use TLS`. The application will mention "All good" when configured correctly.
Add your `hostname` or `IP address`, `port`, `username` and `password` and click on Save. In case you use the Mosquitto add-in, provide port `8883` and check `Use TLS`. If you don't want to use TLS the default port is `1883`. The application will mention "All good" when configured correctly.

If you cannot solve your problem still, join the [discord server](https://discord.gg/VraYT2N3wd).
### Where are config files located?
You can find the configuration files inside of `%appdata%\Hass Workstation Service` on windows.
|file|usage|
| --- | --- |
|configured-commands.json|stores all data about commands, including their properties|
|configured-sensors.json|stores information about sensors, including their properties|
|mqttbroker.json|stores data about your MQTT broker, dont share online|
### Are there any client logs?
Check the logs folder, its stored in the same place as config files.
### I cannot find documentation on a new feature?
You can submit a pull request with new documentation, ask on the [discord server](https://discord.gg/VraYT2N3wd), or check the [develop branch](https://github.com/sleevezipper/hass-workstation-service/tree/develop) for updated documentation.
