Switches turning on and off randomly

Hi Guys,

Its my first post so hopefully I have it in the right section. I have a bunch of Sonoff Basics flashed with tasmota. I have them each added in my config as follows:

mqtt:
broker: ------
username: mqtt
password: ------

switch 2:
platform: mqtt
name: “Fireplace Lights”
command_topic: “cmnd/fireplace_lights/power”
state_topic: “stat/fireplace_lights/POWER”
qos: 1
payload_on: “ON”
payload_off: “OFF”
retain: true

switch 3:
platform: mqtt
name: “Entrance Downlights”
command_topic: “cmnd/Entrance_Downlights/power”
state_topic: “stat/Entrance_Downlights/POWER”
qos: 1
payload_on: “ON”
payload_off: “OFF”
retain: true

and so on. I have had two installed for a few weeks with no issues at all. I added 7 more this evening and everything seemed to be working okay. Turning on and off ect. but now lights are turning on and off randomly. When i go into the console of a particular switch as I notice it turning on by itself it says its from MQTT, see below:

“01:02:15 MQT: tele/fireplace_lights/STATE = {“Time”:“2020-04-02T01:02:15”,“Uptime”:“0T07:05:12”,“UptimeSec”:25512,“Heap”:28,“SleepMode”:“Dynamic”,“Sleep”:50,“LoadAvg”:19,“MqttCount”:4,“POWER”:“OFF”,“Wifi”:{“AP”:1,“SSId”:“blank Network_2.4”,“BSSId”:“18:E8:29:C1:D4:38”,“Channel”:1,“RSSI”:96,“Signal”:-52,“LinkCount”:3,“Downtime”:“0T00:01:40”}}”

The switches that have previously working with no issues are also affected. I have Hass.io installed on a rasberry pi and mosquitto broker running on that. I was playing around in node red when i noticed it but some of the switches affected are not in my flow so I don’t think thats the issue.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
