4: Beginner's Shelly RGBW2 + MQTT + Node Red Overview

I spent the last few weeks learning about MQTT and Node Red and learned how to set up Shelly RGBW2 controllers from scratch more reliably. This video covers the following major steps:
1. Setting up a Shelly RGBW2 from scratch.
2. Installing the Mosquitto MQTT Broker in Home Assistant
3. Connecting the Shelly RGBW2 to the MQTT Broker
4. Testing the Shelly + MQTT Broker with MQTT Explorer
5. Installing and configuring Node Red
6. Setting up a sample Node Red sequence that sends an MQTT command to the Shelly Relay/Controller.
Yeah, that wound up being a TON more than I expected to put in a single video, but I'm still not good at editing so I probably left in more details than expected.
