HELIO MQTT Connection – FAQs & Troubleshooting
Why isn't HELIO displaying the MQTT-published data tree as expected?
Probable Cause
- According to the HELIO PLC Protocol over MQTT v1 HELIO expects messages sent as retained.
 - These messages have to be sent quickly after subscribing. Otherwise, problems like incorrect data displays can occur.
 - Running Mosquitto MQTT broker inside a Windows console can slow this process down.
 
Solution
Run Mosquitto as a service, not a console app, on Windows. This speeds up sending retained messages.
