MQTT suddenly stops working Topic is solved

[nitpicker]

Upgraded to Domoticz 2022.2 and migrated to MQTT.

Installation went not that great, had to reset my Z-Wave devices, but after that it was working fine. But after a week (maybe 2 weeks) it suddenly doesn't work anymore. First I could not set my curtains to a certain position anymore. After that all of my Z-Wave devices were not working anymore. Z-Wave JS UI was still giving an healthy overview of my devices for a matter of time, but now configuration is gone under most of the devices. MQTT Explorer sees messages, but domoticz or the devices won't work.

Any suggestion is welcome to fix this...

Can you still operate them in ZWaveJS-UI?
Did you try disabling/enabling the MQTT-AD hardware in Domoticz?
Did you try to restart ZWaveJS-UI?
You installed ZWaveJS-UI via docker-compose i assume?

Why did you need to reset? This was not nececery!

Thanks for your reply.

No, the devices do not. But some of the devices still give the usage (kWh). But don't react on the power on/off button...

Did you try disabling/enabling the MQTT-AD hardware in Domoticz?

Yes, I did, but didn't solve it.

Did you try to restart ZWaveJS-UI?

I rebooted the machine, so I guess that is ok.

You installed ZWaveJS-UI via docker-compose i assume?

No, not via docker-compose.

Why did you need to reset? This was not nececery!

I know, but after the upgrade Z-Wave didn't work anymore, so I guess I made a mistake.

Hmm... suddenly some items I can switch on and off again... I don't get it. Yesterday it still didn't work.

If you cannot operate the switches in ZWaveJS-UI, than it is not a Domoticz issue
I advise to install it via docker compose (as well as your MQTT broker), this will make sure it has the optimum system components

I know, I have to deep dive into that. To bat the times I tried, I run into errors... thanks anyway!
