TEMPLATE STRING: DEFINITION OF MQTT PAYLOAD FOR PUBLISHED TOPICS
In the “Set MQTT Access” section, it is possible to define a Template string for the MQTT messages. The template is necessary in order to
define the structure of the payload of the MQTT message and the info contained.

meanings are different:
