I see some weird behaviour with the mqtt-in node. When I change the output to "a parsed JSON object" > deploy. inject something in mqtt-out node, i get a single response. Change the output to "auto-detect" > deploy. inject something again, the messages are repeated. Change it again to json, deplo…

This is really strange behaviour and it makes mqtt unusable for me. Only the initial setup works, touch it and I am stuck with repeated messages until I remove the nodes, deploy and add them again. @knolleary do I do something wrong or did I find a bug ?

Has the message been published with the retained flag set, meaning youll receive it each time the node subscribes?

No retain flag, I have cleared everything on the broker. Looking at the subscription, only 1 message exists on the broker, gets repeated in node-red. Test flow: [{"id":"380b9424.fcc454","type":"mqtt in","z":"c0f7a95e.a66d08","name":"","topic":"test/testtopic","qos":"2","datatype":"auto","broker":…

I could swear that there was a thread in the not too long past that talked about a MQTT broker monitoring tool. But do you think I can find it...nooooo....drat's I thought I had it bookmarked.

[image] bakman2: I can reproduce it. Is this just me ? I experienced the same thing. Restarting Node Red helped also. The broker wasn't the source of evil.

Hi @bakman2 I can't reproduce this with the flow you've provided. I always get the expected one message. What broker are you using?

I am using eclipse mosquitto. It starts repeating once I change something to the mqtt nodes.

I have also seen multiple MQTT messages. In the end I just used an RBE node to handle it. Should have reported it but suspected it was something I done wrong or an MQTT thing at the time. Fwiw, I was using the most excellent EMQX broker and node-red v0.20 beta something at the time.

That is correct, my apologies. At least this explains the inconsistent behaviour on my end.
