reboot via MQTT feature

[mccasian]

As Retain Messages on MQTT is in the same time a bless and a pain in the ass, I decided to reboot my Tasmota devices 30 seconds after Home Assistant starts via Automations->mqtt publish cmnd/device_name/restart. However, on wthermostatbeca seems that this feature does not work. I tried also therm/bedroom/cmnd/restart but still no luck.

It would be nice to add the reboot via MQTT feature

~~@mccasian - for me reboot of my BHT-002 via MQTT actually works.~~ ~~This is the script I used:~~ ~~[xx]~~

~~However, after that I noticed strange behaviour when thermostat started rebooting periodically by itself.~~ ~~Periods between reboots I witnessed: 30s, 45s, 60s, 1m30s, 2m40s.~~

~~MQTT Explorer did not show that the cmnd/restart message would be somehow repeated.~~

~~What solved this issue for me was restarting of HASS.~~ ~~I still have no idea what exactly caused this behaviour.~~

EDIT: Unintented periodic reboot has restarted again ~25mins after HASS restart. Now I closed the thermostat browser windows I had opened for monitoring purposes. Rebooting has stopped. I have to keep on watching it further.

EDIT2: Sorry for confusion, the MQTT publish restart command actually does not reboot the device. The rebooting in my case was caused by the opened http://192.168.0.126/logging_weblog? screen in my browser. I have re-tested this multiple times and I can identify that having BHT-002 device's WThermostat 1.19.beta1-fas Live WebLog screen opened causes the device to reboot. As I was initially calling the mqtt.publish restart command in parallel, I misinterpreted that it actually works.
