Thanks. Currently I created two MQTT server devices (state/command) for every light switch in IPS. Home Assistant is a MQTT client of the IPS MQTT broker. If I want to reverse this I need to substitute all MQTT server devices with MQTT Client devices and make Home Assistant a MQTT client of the new MQTT broker (Mosquitto).
Sounds like too much work. I was hoping I could create a „remote/virtual“ server socket or something.

I’ve replaced all MQTT server devices in IP-Symcon with MQTT client devices. The MQTT client devices are configured to use the Mosquitto broker. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
