In my experience, the MQTT Broker / Connector breaks from time to time. For a critical (refrigerator) load, I would like to be able to test the condition, and send an email, or turn it on, etc. For an email, using the format, %%d:123456:some state%%, I have been unable to get the on state condition to report. Sending a status request for a device is not helpful, as there is nothing reported to the Event Log.
Is there a solution?
