# "Fixing the unavailability of Tasmota devices after HomeAssistant restarts"
A bodge for what appears to be a common issue, but if it works, so be it.

Sorry, I know that my blogposts are incredibly tedious, but perhaps they will help *someone*.
@neil Someone has to be the next DenverCoder9.
@neil I've pre-emptively bookmarked this one; because I've not had that issue with my army of Tasmota devices, but that just means it's a hidden bug waiting to take me out when I least suspect it, so write ups like this are always useful.
@neil @iMeddles I'm using HAOS with a large number of Tasmota devices of various lineage. Never noticed this problem hit me.
I wonder what's different?
Oh, I wonder - I'm using a MQTT server on a different VM to HA (a legacy situation from my pre-HA days) which will mean the MQTT server remains always available to Tasmota devices during the HA restart.
@neil niche blog posts are the best part of the internet.
@neil I admit I was expecting to read about how you had switched to matter, but this was more interesting.
