## Waiting for content - This is taking longer than usual on the screen
You have most likely an error in your MQTT configuration somewhere. To find the error follow theese steps:
1. Check your appdaemon log. (Settings > Add-ons > AppDaemon > Log)
You should see something like this:
`INFO MQTT: MQTT Plugin initialization complete`
If you are seeing Messages like this:
`CRITICAL MQTT: Could not complete MQTT Plugin initialization, for Connection was refused due to Not Authorised`
Your appdaemon mqtt config is wrong, check your appdaemon.yaml.
The log of your mqtt broker might give you additional information.
2. Check MQTT Configuration of Tasmota.
