update doku.md for optional MQTT?

[ozett]

i dont want to bother, but as i am exited with your plugin and found out that MQTT-cmds work with ESPeasy to control your plugin, it is maybe helpful to mention this to others in the doku?

i had some trouble finding the right syntax on ESP-Wiki and on some plugins. maybe some example helps others.

i tried calling some effects with MQTT successfull 😸

wonderful plugin, thanx

[ozett]

it belongs to espeasy, but as you coded a plugin for this, maybe also helpful to mention another way to control the plugin?

(beside the cmd-box unter the tools-tab in the webgui)

Well done. Thanks to you I've managed to get Homebridge and my MQTT broker to pass messages to this plugin which allows me to control my lights etc...

But I have't figured out how to get the plugin status back to homebridge. I can't seem to find the outgoing MQTT messages from this espeasy plugin to the MQTT broker.

Did you manage it?

Are the plugin variables sent to the controller?

Thank you. You should get a JSON message as answer in the topic ".../status".
