Using Chariot MQTT Server:

At this point the Chariot MQTT server is up and running.  By default it has the hostname 'chariot' and is at the IP address 192.168.1.150 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.  In order for you to be able to browse to it, the host computer operating system must be on the same network.  Once you are on the same network, you can browse to Chariot MQTT Server by going to https://192.168.1.150.  You will likely get security warnings from your browser due to using a certifcate that is not signed by a Certificate Authority(CA).  This is ok, just accept the certificate (typically by clicking an 'advanced' button or something similar).  Below is an example warning from Google Chrome.Image Added

Once you accept the security warning, you should see something similar to the following.
