how alert trigger

fischi87

Hello guys, first of all sorry about my english 😅
i want find a way th trigger a alert wehn my washmaschine is finish. im using iobroker for my homeassistent. i was thinking maybe is it possible to do this with the adapter simple-api where i get the state with a url ( true/false) but how can i trigger a alert when the state change.

someone a idea? or maybe a other way, mqtt or something?

thanks

@fischi87 Hi, you could i.e. connect the mirror to iobroker with my MMM-MQTTbridge module and send a notification to the alert module depending of the state change.

@fischi87 Hi and sorry. I use node red instead of iobroker and do not have a glue of it.
You will need a MQTT integration in iobroker, a MQTT broker and the MQTT module in the mirror.
If the device changes state iobroker gets notice of it and sends a message to a MQTT topic.
You can subscribe to this topic with the MQTT module in the mirror and initiate a notification with it.
The alert module can display the message in the notification in the result.

@fischi87 Sorry, do not know where I read iobroker but Home Assistant has a MQTT integration, too.

iobroker have also a MQTT instance. so maybe I will give it a try. but the readme looks difficult :-)

@fischi87 @wishmaster270 gave you the answer with his MQTTBridge module

hears the mqtt message and can send a notification to the alert module.

you configure both
