# Overview
NetAlertX comes with MQTT support, allowing you to show all detected devices as devices in Home Assistant. It also supplies a collection of stats, such as number of online devices.
## ⚠ Note
- Please note that discovery takes about ~10s per device.
- Deleting of devices is not handled automatically. Please use [MQTT Explorer](https://mqtt-explorer.com/) to delete devices in the broker (Home Assistant), if needed.
- For optimization reasons, the devices are not always fully synchronized. You can delete Plugin objects as described in the [MQTT plugin](https://github.com/jokob-sk/NetAlertX/tree/main/front/plugins/_publisher_mqtt#forcing-an-update) docs to force a full synchronization.
