MQTT in Plugin disconnects frequently
This all points to the direction that the underlying JS-Engine in the Streamdeck software might throttle the outgoing connections. I still don't understand what's under the hood. The user agent returns "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) QtWebEngine/6.3.1 Chrome/94.0.4606.126 Safari/537.36" What's the JS Engine in the Software? Is it Chrome? As far as I know, there are some issues with Websocket disconnects in Chrome due to aggressive throttling of background tabs. Could that be the cause here, too? https://github.com/mqttjs/MQTT.js/issues/1268

Connect to MQTT Broker with Websocket
MQTT.js is a fully open-source client-side library for the MQTT protocol, written in JavaScript and available for Node.js and browsers. On the Node.js side, it can be installed via global installation and connected via the command line. Also, it supports MQTT/TCP, MQTT/TLS, MQTT/WebSocket connections. It is worth mentioning that MQTT.js also has good support for WeChat Mini Program.

Printing emails based on Message Filters, does not seem possible
All of my office devices are connected to Sonoff S31 smart plugs, flashed with Tasmota on their own locked-down VLAN, and can be controlled via voice, Alexa, Tasker automation on my Android, NFC tags at my office door and various scripts triggered via my StreamDeck (on Linux). This all works fantastic, and I can turn on or off my devices, including my printer, when I start or end my day at work.
