    I've recently started to toy around with a MQTT/CBus interface using @DamianFynn's node.js solution as a base. I ended up using a different CGate docker image from pktechnology which seems to be maintained on docker hub.

    While running this docker container I then start a Visual Code session and run a node.js script interfacing to this remote CGate server and it all works fine. The issue that I encounter is when I also start Toolkit, and point to the same docker CGate server, and click on 'Close Network', then my Visual Studio Code instance stops sending and receiving updates. Is this normal behavior? Is the network closed for everyone?

    in Toolkit EDIT/PREFERENCES, select the Behavior tag and make sure "Leave Projects Open" is checked under Shutdown Behavior.
