[Feature Request] MQTT Topic No Readout about smlreader HOT 6 OPEN

In my case Home Assistant consumes the MQTT messages and the last_updated timestamp of the sensor gets updated on each message. This is all I need to trigger automations.

Yeah, that would be a work around. I have no last_updated (using NodeRed), but i could use a trigger with delay i think.
Maybe for SMLreader v2 this is an option.

Or you could implement your own last_updated using a flow variable, that is being monitored by a periodic trigger.

That won't be a a big deal to implement and I already thought about publishing info/debug messages via MQTT.
Right now debug messages are being published as server sent events in the upcoming version.

I just started with Node-red (because its easy to feed mqtt to Homematic). So iam not deep into it.
In the moment a tried the trigger node (with delay that set it self back with a new message), and it works pretty well. But Info/debug would be a nice to have, ofc. And most of them i found in the code - so its just a giveover to mqtt. :)

Anyway, thanks for this project.

Does MQTT also work if no MQTT user and password is set? In my environement no mqtt user is necessary.
