Disconnected despite saying connected

[hebs]

I love the app! 

I am using an android tablet as an always on display.  I am using an MQTT Broker on my local network to publish data about my house, power and solar setup.  It works great for a couple of hours and then the data stops updating.  It says that it is still connected (green cloud icon) but none of the data is updating.  I disconnect and then reconnect and all is fine.

Is this a bug or could I setup a background task to automatically disconnect and reconnect every hour or so so ensure that screen displays the correct info?

Thanks again.

Hi, the app is working on background or in foreground?
Is the screen open?
The suggested solution is certainly correct but it is still a bug which I would like to investigate

Working in the foreground and the screen is open.

Hi,
I will check it but it is very difficult to find an error that happens after hours.
Could you check your project using another Android device?
I am thinking to add an additional watchdog for the MQTT connections on the next update.
Maybe it's the chance to test him with this project

I will try a different android tablet this evening, thank you.
