Reboot Faikin via MQTT

[dahadd]

Is there a way to reboot the Faikin via MQTT? I cannot access the web interface, but the device is online and can be controlled via MQTT. Thanks

Err, an MQTT message with a topic ending restart

sorry, I still don't know what you mean and how to send an MQTT message. I am unfortunately not that knowledgeable in this matter

Watch this, then you'll be an expert in ten minutes, it helped me understand MQTT and topics and publishing (turns out it's actually pretty simple):

Ok sorry you asked about an MQTT message.

Alternative way to reboot is simply power cycle it.

Thank you, but I don't want to switch it on and off. I just need a little support on how to send an MQTT message via Homeassinstant.

No idea how to do that via HA. I have various tools to send MQTT messages. I would hope HA has some, but no idea.

[dahadd]

I have found a solution in HA.
Can you please tell me the tools for sending MQTT messages?

Thank you and a happy new year.

Err is uses firebrick console, my own mqtt command code, and possibly mosquitto command line.
