Messages received update the UPDATE, TOPIC, MESSAGE and NUMBER variables which can be used under programming. The NUMBER variable is any number specified in the MESSAGE received. You can also Publish your own messages to any Topic under programming Actions.
The MESSAGE_RECEIVED event is fired when a message is received from the Home Assistant topic.
There is also a KEEPALIVE variable which is updated every 10 seconds showing the age of the last keepalive packet received. This can be used to force a reconnection to the broker using the Restart MQTT command.
