Cool! Many thanks. Now it works 🙂  
Really appreciated.

The setting for mqtt is not available in the app, just in the web interface.

One more question:  
It seems, that the Shelly-status, which is published via mqtt, is beiing renewed every 30 seconds, even without any change.  
Is there any chance to adjust this behaviour?

Yes, using the command `mqtt_update_period` as described in the [Welcome to Shelly Technical Documentation | Shelly Technical Documentation](https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/#settings)  
Set it to `0` to disable.
