Why does switchtopic publish on CMND?

[Roger Kaplan]

This is something that's been bothering me-

Setting switchtopic (or buttontopic I think) will force Tasmota to publish the switch state every time it changes on the topic given. 

so "switchtopic MYSWITCH" will publish on CMND/MYSWITCH

Why is that? I thought that CMND is for sending messages TO Tasmota, and STAT is for current status?

[Philip Knowles]

Switchtopic is sending a command because the change of state is telling something else to do something as a result.  In normal operation the switch commands (internally) the output to change state.
