esp-rfid keeps disconnecting from mqtt about esp-rfid HOT 2 OPEN

hey @IVCrossway I'm sorry for your problem :(

Unfortunately this is not something that happens to me, MQTT connection is reliable to me.

It's strange that HA thinks that the door is open when esp-rfid is disconnected, is it something we can fix on esp-rfid side?

Instead on the MQTT connection, maybe you have already tried, but is the esp close to the WiFi AP? Also, have you tried another board? Sometimes boards are not very reliable, maybe try another one. Finally, is the esp-rfid reconnecting to MQTT automatically or only if you reboot?

I think this should be handled by home assistant itself, I just have to figure out how.

The wifi connection I guess is fine. The esp is connected to a Range Extender to get the best possible signal quality. I don't know if it's dropping packets or something but, correct me if I'm wrong, this should not be an isseue since packet drops happen every so often and the packet will be delivered before the mqtt timeout. (I'll further investigate into my network reliability)

The fact is that after some time (could be hours, could be minutes... It's random like the disconnects) it reconnects itself without any reboot. And in this timeframe the web interface is working just fine, so I guess this is not a connectivity issue.
