After a node boots up, there is a ~30 second delay before the `online` state is published.
After a node disconnects from MQTT, there is a ~30 second delay before the `offline` state is published.
If your node is using the `MQTT Client Proxy` feature, where the node sends packets to your Android/iOS device, this will not work as expected.
When using the `MQTT Client Proxy` feature, your node sends/receives packets to/from your Android/iOS device, and then your device connects to MQTT and proxies the messages.
As of the time of writing these docs, the mobile devices do not correctly configure the LWT for the node being proxied, and thus you can't detect if your node went offline.
```
Meshtastic Node <-> Android/iOS <-> MQTT
```
Unfortunately, when using that feature your `online` / `offline` states will not work as expected.
As of the time of writing these docs, the mobile devices do not correctly configure the LWT for the node being proxied, and thus do not publish the `offline` state for the node, so you can't detect if your node disconnected from MQTT.
Your node will stay "stuck" in the `online` state in the MQTT server.
