For a check, you can use the command line tools `mosquitto_pub` shipped with `mosquitto` to send MQTT messages. This allows you to operate your switch manually. First, we can simulate the availability message sent for the switch:
```bash
mosquitto_pub -h 127.0.0.1 -t home/bedroom/switch1/available -m "online"
```
We can simulate the switch being turned on by publishing the "ON" command message:
```bash
mosquitto_pub -h 127.0.0.1 -t home/bedroom/switch1/set -m "ON"
```
Finally, we can simulate the switch reporting back the changed state to Home Assistant:
```bash
mosquitto_pub -h 127.0.0.1 -t home/bedroom/switch1 -m "ON"
