Okay, so after struggling for a while to get any functionality between the Hubitat and Home Assistant via MQTT (using the Generic MQTT Driver), I have finally gotten it to work! Yassss From a device created as a Generic MQTT Driver, I can subscribe/publish to topics from Hubitat and from Home Assistant (via Node-Red). I am seeing updates on the Hubitat side after injecting strings/values from Node-Red. Similarly, in Hubitat, the device added as a Generic MQTT Driver has a Publish MSG command which I am able to use to send custom strings (published to topic in the MQTT Broker) successfully. By doing this, I am able to receive the string in Node-Red and use the message to trigger certain events on the Home Assistant side.
Now, although this is a big step and I am satisfied with my progress, my end goal is to use the Samsung Multipurpose V5 sensor (paired in Hubitat) to trigger effects to my WLED app (in Home Assistant) when acceleration becomes active. This is where I am now running into problems, as I have spent most of the night into this morning attempting every conceivable method (albeit being a complete newb to this) to use the acceleration active status as a trigger to either publish a state or MSG to the MQTT Broker. I have tried using Rule Machine and Modes but have found no way to achieve this.
Does anyone have any idea or known method of doing this? Do I need to be using a certain community app or is this something that should be done by editing the actual MQTT Driver code, as I have tried playing around with the Salt Tank MQTT Driver .groovy file(published by developer Aaron - [PROJECT] Salt Tank monitor using Arduino & MQTT ) where he implemented a switch into the Driver but it appears to be taking events in to the Hubitat to control the switch, which I'm trying to do the opposite? If anyone has any experience or could point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated as I don't have experience writing/editing .groovy files and my next step was to just blindly start modifying the .groovy MQTT Driver code.
