This time I had to restart the trio, although no errors in the log, and the hub and client were reporting it’s activities the broker seemed to be frozen. However, there are no problems since. Information log reports something which maybe comes close to the null value: 20210330-18:55:05 message: with value: [object Object] Cannot judge what this should be it’s a part of the energy meter data of which one of the measures is not working. (Running Hub in custom mode) ---

@Robert_Zwetsloot That’s strange. All capabilities are so called ‘value types’ (not objects) as far as I know. Can je provide a screenshot of your configuration? For completeness: did you try the test version of the MQTT Client? ---

@Robert_Zwetsloot I can reproduce the issue by sending an JSON value to a device capability set topic. E.g. `{ "value": 99 }`. The Hub can only read raw values (99) from the message payloads, this is based on the Homie convention. This is also why I added the JSONPath config to the MQTT device, so you can optionally add a custom device and configure it yourself if needed. I will extend the logging. ---

**Version 3.1.7** - Skip messages not meant for the HUB Little explenation: The log was coming from a message send to a topic not bound to a device capability (hence the empty topic). With this update the hub detects these message earlier in the process and does an early termination. ---

Apart from some decreased waf because of window coverings that went up-down and up again due to the broadcasts, it’s all good 🙂 Thanks for your efforts and the updates! ---
