Re: [mh] MQTT Not Reliable

On an unrelated note, is the insteon MQTT code more reliable than the native MH support? Why did you switch?

I don’t have 120 devices, but probably 50 or so devices and it’s pretty good for reliability with the odd device exception. I have a challenge with some keypadlincs getting them to sync. the MH code seems to give up after a period of time, so I end up uninstalling the KPLs from the walls and into a temporary plastic electrical box that I can plug into the same outlet as the PLM.

Dave if you submit a PR I can merge it in. There’s been a bunch of changes over the past year or so, might be good to capture a release soon. Unfortunately my git skills have atrophied so every time I think about doing this I get frustrated with some git situation and figure I’ll do it later….

However, it seems that random lights do not work when I send a MQTT command to the broker. I can see the command hit the broker, but it won't trigger an event in MH for all lights. I see no difference between the lights that work and those that do not.
