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.
