+title: "MQTT Button"
+description: "Instructions on how to integrate MQTT buttons into Home Assistant."
+ha_category:
+  - Button
+ha_release: 2021.12
+ha_iot_class: Configurable
+ha_domain: mqtt
+---
+
+The `mqtt` button platform lets you send an MQTT message when the button is pressed in the frontend or the button press service is called. This can be used to expose some service of a remote device, for example reboot.
+
+## Configuration
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+button:
+  - platform: mqtt
+    command_topic: "home/bedroom/switch1/reboot"
+```
