Turning off Tag optimisation resulted in being able to see the entire list. The for loop was to allow for adding of more PackML tags without having to modify the code. What are the benefits of Tag optimisation?

Thanks for the pointer about not implementing queries as I would expect. this would explain why i couldn't include datetime('now', 'local') in my query. I have tried the suggestion above using the formatter, but can't make it work as I would expect. (this is maybe a me limitation). I did, however, ...

Hi, I've had a look and I can only see one MQTT broker in my project tree, the logs only show one MQTT Broker starting also. The really odd bit is that I can connect but not send/receive data. I've also tried this on an Optix panel, with the same result. Is there a better way to see any instances ...
