The problem

I still have a major issue with shellys spamming the protocol of iobroker with millions of "Client close" and "unable to get mqttprefix of client" messages, practically jamming the iobroker. The whole System becomes totally unresponsive and inoperative. It takes about 6-8 hours for the issue to settle down and all shellys to have a stable connection without interruption.

I had a hint that this may be due to an incompatible switch in my network, so I ordered a new switch from a different manufacturer and installed it. However that did not change anything, if at all the problem got worse.

Can somebody please help? I am now using a Fritzbox 7590 with 4 Fritz repeaters configured as access points and connected via RJ45 to a TP link managed switch TL SG116E.

Is there any setting I need to change to solve this issue?

Firstly, I would update the js-controller to the latest version (5.0.19 > 6.0.9). This may not help, but should be ruled out as a source of error.

Done this morning. No change, issue still persists. Its been going on for months, no update of Node-JS or JS-controller ever changed anything.
