I have become involved with low cost IoT devices with MQTT being the primary means for non-cloud (or cloud) communication and integration. To make it easy to fit into my existing Homeseer environment I have developed mcsMQTT.
This plugin retains HS as the central node in the automation environment and allows MQTT-literate devices to be utilized. While HS Events can be triggered based upon MQTT Topics and Event Actions can publish Topics, the primary integration is with the HS DeviceValue and DeviceString. Changes in HS devices or changes in MQTT Topic payloads are seamlessless reflected with the mcsMQTT bridge.

How-To Guides from post #250, #259 & #304 by taylormia attached
This plugin retains HS as the central node in the automation environment and allows MQTT-literate devices to be utilized. While HS Events can be triggered based upon MQTT Topics and Event Actions can publish Topics, the primary integration is with the HS DeviceValue and DeviceString. Changes in HS devices or changes in MQTT Topic payloads are seamlessless reflected with the mcsMQTT bridge.
