Idea: MQTT instead of HTTP API

First of all thanks for your effort to provide this adapter!
I tried to use it to steer my PV/batteries based on the current used power.
As via HTTP polling the updates are not that often it did not really work. Therefore I am now using the MQTT API which triggers iobroker based on every change.

I think it would add additional value for the community to provide the adater based on MQTT instead of HTTP - just a thought :-)

Good idea.
but will work only with Ann external mqtt server.
Let's see. think it could be an idea after adapter of api v2.

Hi, I’m using mqtt with iobroker and node-red, incl a simple UI control screen for the browser.
I had to use it because the Wallbox is in an external building, not having LAN access but only mobile internet. Works fine. However, there’s a big „but“. Since the state is sent very often and always as one complete message, data drainage is huge. If I remember correctly it’s about 200MB per day. Messages are sent every single second. For mqtt, this is insane.

Good idea. but will work only with Ann external mqtt server. Let's see. think it could be an idea after adapter of api v2.

I created an adapter which acts as an MQTT server
