Hello, I really love homey and the MQTT broker. I use MQTT to control my sonoff devices with tasmota firmware. Recently I noticed that after a network outage (my internet connection has not been very stable) that MQTT does not function when the network becomes operational again. A reboot of homey is needed (maybe a restart of the MQTT broker is enough, haven’t tested that). Does anyone else have the same issue, or a solution? My Homey and all Apps are up to date. Thanks, Leo ---

Try the test version of the hub [https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.hdg.mqtt/MQTT-Hub/test/](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.hdg.mqtt/MQTT-Hub/test/) and the client [MQTT Client App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.scanno.mqtt/MQTT-Client/test/) They both have fixes to connect more easy. If you don’t succeed in restarting in one go. Disable broker, client and hub and restart in same order. See [MQTT Hub/Gateway - #808 by robertklep](https://community.homey.app/t/mqtt-hub-gateway/6766/808) for some details.
