Hello.  I am faced with the problem that the owlcms software does not see the device that I have connected - the "Simple Refereeing Box". When I go to one of the tabs on a site that has started locally to test the device, I see information that the software sees 0 MQTT devices. And accordingly, I can't test it in any way, much less hold competitions.

It is the owlcms-firmata software that talks MQTT, and not your device by itself (or the blue-owl software if you bought blue-owl devices).
If you use the latest control-panel, the owlcms-firmata software is installed under Arduino Devices.
You need to run that software on the laptop where your refereeing devices are connected, and tell it where owlcms firmata is.
Owlcms does not "find" MQTT devices, owlcms-firmata is told where owlcms is.
