SOLVED ...The MQTT_Status device “Broker Connection Status” shows RED/Offline, never indicating the true ONLINE state of the broker.
Using V 4.1.7.1
Enabled “Show Statistics in HS Devices and mcsMQTT Statistics Tab “
Confirmed broker is online
enabled and disabled Show Statistics many times... still RED/Offline
#2 Side Issue... (think I have experienced this before)
Try Disconnect from MQTT Brokers check box... enable again removing the check
broker not recognized automatically
Waited 6 minutes... broker not recognized
Manually reset broker (ESP8266)
Wait 3 minutes... no broker recognition
Disable/Enable Plugin.... Online again
And!!! Broker Connection Status device GREEN/Online !!!!
Opinion.. if this is correct operation, then Manual section 13.1.2.9 should clearly indicate that a plug in reset is required (and a note on the screen) ... and/or, have check box to reset the plugin???
Let us do additional testing....
Select ... Disconnect from MQTT Brokers
Properly get RED/Offline
De-select … Disconnect from MQTT Brokers
Wait 6 minutes doing updates to the page to monitor status...
Confirmed this again to show my ORIGINAL concern, Broker Connection Status point is now operating properly.
#3
Previously manually created a point that mimics your temporary statistics point. This never worked. It is now removed. Could creating this definition have caused the non-reporting issue??
Obviously, I would like to have a always available device defined that shows broker state... please.
Thoughts are appreciated LZH
