In this video, we'll install some essential add-ons to get started with. More add-ons will likely be installed down the road. For now, we'll set up:
0:00 Intro
1:00 File Editor
4:38 Node Red
5:34 Sambashare
8:32 ESPhome
10:06 Mosquitto Broker (Please note the MQTT testing functions are no longer found in dev tools... instead, go to CONFIGURATION then INTEGRATIONS then click "configure" on the Mosquitto broker integration, and you'll find them here.
