I see folks on FB are starting to show interest in this app, so here are the steps to get started, for those who do not want login:

(2) Go to settings:
(3) Then go to MQTT Broker and add the IP address of the MQTT server / service (and make sure all the other settings are the exact same as in the photo):

Make sure you turn on "authentication" at the bottom of that screen:
(4) Next you configure your dashboard (just take a few minutes, see next post):
