Thank you. Looks like NSPanel Pro is now acting like a ZBBridge-U with Matter sync — nice move! Let me take a quick look at how it plays with MQTT. I’ll let you know soon how it goes.

@MichaelLearnsToCode @JoJo  
**Update:** I started MQTT using the new version of the app. I have a number of observations.  
I’ve noticed that NSPanel Pro publishes the Zigbee device state to MQTT only when a parameter changes, for example, `state`, `temperature`, etc. As a result, after restarting Home Assistant or the MQTT broker, entities remain without values until the device sends a new update. MQTT publications use `retain: false`, so the broker does not store the last known state.  
To fix this, it would be helpful if NSPanel Pro (or Zigbee2CUBE) published device states with `retain: true`. This way, Home Assistant could automatically retrieve the last known state after a restart, without needing to manually query each device.  
Alternatively, could NSPanel Pro respond to `homeassistant/status` or `broker/status` and publish device states upon reconnect?

In its current form, the MQTT integration between NSPanel Pro and Home Assistant is unreliable and of limited practical use.
