Installation

Automated

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hjelev/rpi-mqtt-monitor/master/remote_install.sh)

The installer will:

• Install missing dependencies (git, python3, pip, paho-mqtt, requests, psutil)
• Create a Python virtual environment (rpi_mon_env)
• Prompt you to configure MQTT host and credentials in config.py
• Set up a systemd service or cron job

Running as a service is recommended — it enables the restart, shutdown, and display control buttons in Home Assistant.
