      @dpcons MQTT sounds intimidating and looks imitimidating when you see all of the options available. Here's the scenario: You want to send a message. That's the -m option followed by a space and the message between " " the location, topic, is a tree, -t option, separated by forward slash / eg. MyRootTopic/MyTopicsSub/MyTopicSubSub It's as easy as that if your broker, the MQTT service (program) is on the same computer as the sending program. Usually it's not. Specifiy the location, the host, of the broker with the -h option followed by the host name or IP address The retain option, -r is important but explaining it is beyone the scope of this message Receiving, subscribing, to a topic is just the same, but you wouldn't have the -m message If you subscribe from the command line, the subscribe function waits indefinitely for messages published to the subscribed topic (unless you use the -C option) ^C to terminate the command. A tamotized device with the MQTT configured will create a number of topics on the broker. Home Assistant will see this automatically, if you have the Tasmota and MQTT Integrations installed. The MySensors MQTT gateway takes care of MQTT communication for a MySensors device. Again the MySensors and MQTT integrations. I use both. -OSD

      @dpcons I had similar issues which I called 'ghost' nodes and 'ghost' sensors. I was getting random nodes added mycontroller and even some existing nodes suddenly had children that simply didn't exist. I did so much over many months to get this sorted. In the end I added a lot of capacitors, took the gateway from directly connceted to pi to via serial USB. I even moved the whole lot to another room..... It's all been fine for a while. I still don't know the exact cause in my case (may be different for you), but power supply, radio nodes, cabling/connections all can play a part in some very wierd things.....

      This problem has been resolved. It appears my ANKER 10 port USB Hub is the problem. It's associated with the lower 4 ports of the hub. The remaining 6 are OK. I'm not sure what the actual problem is yet. The hub has a 60W power supply attached so I doubt it's a power issue...maybe noise? I now have a 10 port Amazon Hub which works well. As for the DTR signal, I've always used it and have seldom used the reset buttons. Also, I think most of the Arduinos and clones have it implemented through the serial convertor chip as well. It's also on all the ESP32 and ESP 8266 clones I've used. Again, thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions.
