Hopefully someone will give you an answer eventually.

There are 2 MQTT current threads. One from a person asking a question, and one from a developer who created the integration project. I don’t see any posts from you in the actual integration thread, you might try there.

Integration Solutions using MQTT

I’d like to share some projects I’ve been working on that provide some nice integration options between SmartThings and other external applications. These use MQTT, which if you’re not familiar with, you can find plenty of information about on the internet. Put simply, you install what’s called an MQTT Broker application onto an always-on computer on your LAN (‘Mosquitto’ is one of the more popular free ones), and it provides a structured way to publish and subscribe to messages across devices and applications. This provides a nice solution to being able to get device information into, and out of SmartThings in a consistent and reliable way with little-to-no development expertise required. MQTT solutions have existed for SmartThings on the ‘old’ Groovy-based platform. My new projects …
