I have published an MQTT Topic: cmnd/obkSocket/EnergyCntReset (value 0). It resets all energy counter values but NOT obkSocket/energycounter_today. This topic still keeps its old values:

I've checked with self test: It seems you're using EnergyCntReset incorrectly. You should invoke it without any arguments. I am not the author of this command, but I think so... It indeed does not work as you expect if you use 0 as argument.

Hello,Thanks.It worked, but with an empty payload and QoS = 2 - otherwise the topic gets deleted on the broker.May I suggest that the author of this command will have a look into it and fix it, so it works when sending a 0 as value.

I think the intention of author is to allow extra argument which, if set, is used to set the energy counter to. So, in a nutshell: - without argument, it resets all counters - with argument, it sets total consumption to given value It's probably not a bug, but a behaviour per design.
