Sonoff and MQTT

Configuration
1

I had cause to use MQTT.fx for the first time in a while and I am seeing loads of sonoff messages which I don’t remember seeing before.

All my Sonoffs are now publishing almost constantly the following. Am I mis-remembering and they always did or is something else going on?

stat/sonoffxx/STATUS
stat/sonoffxx/STATUS1
stat/sonoffxx/STATUS2
stat/sonoffxx/STATUS3
stat/sonoffxx/STATUS4
stat/sonoffxx/STATUS5
stat/sonoffxx/STATUS6
stat/sonoffxx/STATUS7
stat/sonoffxx/STATUS10
stat/sonoffxx/STATUS11

I use sonoff’s and I don’t see anything like that. I’m using the version of firmware developed by user @KmanOz (with a few slight mods). The only time I see a message is on a state change.

Which firmware do you use?

constant like non stop never ending or spaced out at intervals? usually devices will do a state/status publish just so the broker knows the latest state or the broker is requesting it every so often.

Do you have TasmoAdmin running and logged in? It will constantly poll the switches for their stats.
