Deleting a Node does not remove the associated MQTT topic #169

Open blhoward2 opened 4 years ago

blhoward2 commented 4 years ago

After deleting a Node in ozwadmin, MQTT Explorer shows that the topic still existed within MQTT. The device didn't disappear automatically from HA, which I suspect is linked to this behavior.

I'm not sure if removing a topic is a thing.

If true, then there must be a way to invalidate the payload so that HA knows the entity is deleted. Or maybe it’s just removing the retained flag.

Use MQTT Explorer to manually delete the dead node.

Yes, I fixed my setup months ago when I posted this. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s a bug and that this should happen automatically.
