Test

From a MQTT-client:

Get status from light $ mosquitto_pub -t 'telldus/{light_name}/status' -m ''

Dim light to 40% $ mosquitto_pub -t 'telldus/{light_name}/set' -m '40'

Turn off light $ mosquitto_pub -t 'telldus/{light_name}/set' -m 'OFF'

Turn on light $ mosquitto_pub -t 'telldus/{light_name}/set' -m 'ON'

Note that the {light_name} is the defined names in Telldus Live! without spaces but case sensitive.
