MQTT Command Handling in Device Mode Analysis When using the --Device parameter to process a single device, the code follows these paths: 1. For normal devices (not matching unknown_device_patterns): - The process_single_device method creates a temporary current.json with just the target device - It then calls get_device_details(use_current_json=True) - get_device_details loads the device from current.json, filters out unknown devices, and processes the remaining devices - For each device, it sends MQTT commands to configure MQTT settings (Host, Port, User, Password, Topic, FullTopic) - It also sends commands to configure console parameters, including Retain settings and rules - All commands have retry logic with up to 3 attempts 2. For unknown devices (matching unknown_device_patterns): - The process_single_device method identifies the device as unknown - It then calls configure_unknown_device - configure_unknown_device sets the Friendly Name, enables MQTT, and configures MQTT settings - It also configures console parameters, including Retain settings and rules - Finally, it reboots the device to save the configuration - Commands do not have retry logic Conclusion: All MQTT commands are being sent in Device mode, but there are two different paths depending on whether the device matches an unknown_device_pattern: 1. Normal devices: Processed by get_device_details with retry logic 2. Unknown devices: Processed by configure_unknown_device without retry logic, and the device is rebooted The main differences are: 1. Retry logic: Only normal devices have retry logic for commands 2. Device reboot: Only unknown devices are rebooted 3. Command failure tracking: Only normal devices track command failures for reporting These differences are by design, as unknown devices are being initially configured while normal devices are being verified/updated.
