Your commands are wrong. This works well for me:
M586.4 S"test" O2 M586 P4 H192.168.1.198 R1883 S1Published messages from other clients come in as expected as generic messages in DWC. But it looks like there was indeed a problem using M118 P6, up to the next version M118 L6 needs to be used instead. I'm going to fix it in the next release. Example:
M118 L6 S"message" T"test"
