The only protocol I've got to work on the LMS side that actively sends out messages on player power state (rather than requiring polling) is the, now ancient, xPL plugin. I still use this, but run a small python 2.7 bridge app that converts the xPL power states to MQTT. I've always thought it would be a useful exercise to take the xPL plugin and refactor it to use MQTT, so creating a native LMS MQTT plugin. Unfortunately I've never felt confident enough with Perl to start. The python app is MQTT-xPL-bridge from Steve Rodger's github repository hwstar. This has worked reliably for me for some years now, except that power off state is not sent when a player powers off automatically following the expiry of an alarm-clock event.
I'll accept that this route is both convoluted and niche, but if you do want to try it feel free to ping me for assistance - I still have some notes somewhere on the basic install process.
