Invoke the tbce-troubleshoot agent to diagnose this issue: $ARGUMENTS

The agent follows a systematic diagnostic process:

Verify environment — check TB_URL and TB_API_KEY, test API connectivity
Locate the entity — find device/profile/dashboard by name via REST API
Collect diagnostics — query relevant API endpoints for state information
Identify root cause — match symptoms to known ThingsBoard issues
Provide fix — specific steps or commands to resolve the issue

Issue categories and typical fixes:

Symptom	Common Cause
Device inactive	Wrong MQTT credentials or topic
No telemetry	Rule chain missing Save Timeseries node
Alarm not firing	Telemetry key case mismatch; missing Device Profile node
Dashboard no data	entityAlias deviceType doesn't match profile name
Rule chain errors	Failure outputs unconnected; JS instead of TBEL
MQTT connect fails	Using username instead of access token as password

MQTT connection checklist:

Host: demo.thingsboard.io
Port: 1883 (plain) or 8883 (TLS)
Username: "" (empty)
Password: device access token from GET /api/device/{id}/credentials
Topic: v1/devices/me/telemetry
