Hi everyone, I’m diving into the world of MQTT integration with my smart home setup and I’m curious to understand how others handle state and command topics. I recently set up a heating panel using MQTT and noticed that both state and command are included in the same line. I’m assuming this is to ensure bidirectional communication—sending commands and receiving state updates. But I’m wondering if there’s a best practice for this setup. Should the device send its state back to the broker after receiving a command, especially if it’s controlled elsewhere? I’m also pondering whether MQTT persistence is necessary for reliability. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
