How to use the Default function for processing actuator commands from the Cayenne Dashboard

Cayenne API's Bring Your Own Thing (MQTT)
1

Sending MQTT messages to the broker/dashboard works.
But I have no idea how to use the Default function for processing actuator commands from the Cayenne Dashboard.
I want to set an level in my Arduino sketch by a slider from dashboard.

Can you post the code you have so far?

I have uploaded the file ControllinoLight-R.txt (had to change .ino to .txt for download).
Sending works.

Another point: I see the MQTT client in in the WebGUI on my PC but not on my Android.
Second question: How can I subscribe the MQTT messages sent to Cayenne from another Linux device by mosquitto for example. I do not know the topics

So the WebGUI should look like and work.

I’m try to get a Controllino MAXI to work with Cayenne MQTT but not having any luck with the sample code or yours or ANY ethernet code for that matter! Did you have to modify anything library wise to make it work?
