It looks like all the examples run inside the resident script. I would like to be able to send something through a separate function that is not in the resident script.
Do you have an example I can use, or nudge me in a direction?

Just create a new connection, it's much easier this way.

Yes, it is easy. But wouldn't this affect speed and performance? Let's consider 200 objects changing value within 5 seconds and I want all that data pushed up outside of the resident script scope?

Then use a resident script. The script can modified with an additional callback function per object (similar to mqtt_to_object_conv, but in reverse). It will transform the object value the way you needed before publishing it to MQTT.

Use a separate connection for publishing then.
