My issue is about the Android application. The device is a raspberry pi 3 model B (not +) through MQTT.
It happened to me yesterday that I would click on the digital app button, the state of the virtual button would change (color change) but the action would not propagate to the raspberry pi (no message received).
I had to close the app and restart it for the virtual button to start working again.
To me it seems that the app was silently ignoring a communication error with the server. I would prefer the app to fail in error cases because I have no other way of telling if the action went through if I’m not in my home.
What would be the next step to help diagnose this?
Hi @francoisgervais.
Thanks for reporting this issue. i will put this forward to the team for development.
A workaround can be In your code when you read the status of the button, store the value in a variable and send it back again to another two state widget. so that you can come to know the state of the button.
I implemented your suggestion and it works great. Now I get a way better insurance that the rpi actually got the command.
Here I made a video showing the issue if that helps solving it to some degree.
One would think that the button icon state would only change once the server acknowledged the transaction but we see in the video that this is not the case. It happily changes state even if the server didn’t get it. Once the app is restarted, it works as expected.
Oh and I’m sorry if that bothers, my daughter is talking quite a bit and I had to talk in french also, pretty chaotic video hehe.

I send email to PM. I have Xiaomi Pocophone F1 app version is: 1.5.7-105 . The same problem happening on my girlfriend iOS mobile phone. On PC work fine.
I have similar issue: is I keep on my mobile the application in background for a longer time (more than 1 min) then in the Android app button do no react and remain in rolling and not trigger.
Same issue is also in the web page on computer but after longer time – here workaround is to refresh the page …
On Android app, you need to close it and restart and sometime even logout and login again…
@adinenceanu as i said trigger are independent of the app or web dashboard.
i was not able to reproduce the button issue when the app is kept in the background. i had the app in background for 15min and the button still works.
Hi, I have the same problem… When de App in Android stays for aprox 15 or 20 minuts in background i cant active and desactive a led in my arduino, I have to restart the app to works Again.
