Dummy variables / send to controller

[mrwee]

Just playing around with the best way of setting dummy variables via MQTT. I find that dummy devices can only send to controller in interval from 1 sec and up. It cannot be set to 0 like normal devices.
Executing "TaskValueSetAndRun" via MQTT doesn't seem to push an immediate controller update of the new value. How to do that then?

Alternative is an MQTT Import, but it feels like crossing the river for water

TaskValueSetAndRun will immediately push the value to the connected controller's send queue
How quickly data gets flushed there depends on the controller queue settings.
See: https://espeasy.readthedocs.io/en/lates ... parameters

You can also call publish from the rules, which also append nicely to the controller queue.
