Hi Mauro,

have a look here: [Cumulocity IoT Tips and Tricks - MQTT cheat sheet](https://community.cumulocity.com/t/cumulocity-iot-tips-and-tricks-mqtt-cheat-sheet/7573)  
The topic you need to subscribe is “s/dc/myTemplate” if “myTemplate” is your template id.

Btw. event it is suggested to upload the configuration on request to C8Y you can much easier update the text-based configuration using the static template 113,“configProp1=val1\nprop2=val2\n…” on “s/us” topic especially if the configuration it not very big and only uploaded & updated on agent (re)start.
