Hello Nick, This tutorial below is for some other device, but except for the details (entity / capability names), you should be able to build a virtual MQTT device, in order to send & receive data with the device. When you first install MQTT Explorer, you can lookup the exact topic and payloads (event messages) of the current MQTT data. This is needed for the correct configuring with the virtual MQTT device, and I can help you with it to “translate” into the right format. > [@\[Tutorial\]\[Pro\] Basic MQTT setup & connect Itho Daalderop NRG.watch interface](https://community.homey.app/t/tutorial-pro-basic-mqtt-setup-connect-itho-daalderop-nrg-watch-interface/139521): > > This tutorial is about setting up a basic MQTT system.
