I was one that asked why use the node name. I can see your point now, but originally I didn't. What you are saying is with the node name in the topic. The ESP8266, ESP32, or whatever would only need to subscribe and publish to a wildcard, which doesn't require that node to have several strings for subscribe and publish.?
The one thing I don't understand what you are doing is storing stuff in your EEPROM, but that is something beyond this topic.?

Currently, I only have to save the "0001" in EEPROM, as well as the TxNamib/,? the MQTT ip address, the WiFi SSID and WPA. ]
