As mentioned previously, I just wanted to stop the re-publishing of a device value that is received via the sub. The external node already set the topic value, HS doesn't need to send it back out on the same topic (and indeed, this could create an issue with external nodes). I do need HS to always publish when it (gui/script/event) changes the value of a device (vs. receives it from the sub)... regardless of what the pub topic is.
From my perspective, the sub=pub approach doesn't need to be the the determining factor. I would be equally happy (maybe more so) with an additional configuration checkbox when editing a given device.... perhaps a "Only publish HS initiated device changes", or "Do not publish subscription topic changes", or something equivalent.
Please let me know if there's anything else you need me to do... happy to help! Thanks much.
