    @Cr4z33 i dont know, but MQTTBridge was not informed of the button press as you expected

    is your other bridge code running? you mentioned you had some app talking to the doorbell and publishing the mqtt message

    is the doorbell an mqtt device , fed thru zigbee2mqtt for homeassistant?
    or is there a native integration?
    i would expect the doorbell to NOT publish to mqtt directly
    it would be a tiny market to add and support that code IN the doorbell firmware

      @Cr4z33 you could build an HA automation to send the MQTT message on button push

        But then again nothing would happen.

        I mean I’ve already DahuaVTO2MQTT in the middle and I used the right line taken from its console, but here we are. 😅

          @Cr4z33 something is not sending the mqtt message

          bell -> ha automation -> mqtt -> mqttbridge -> rtsp…
          should work

          for me, this works

          alexa-> nodered -> mqtt > ha automation -> mqtt -> mirror_app -> screen off

            And you are using this MQTT module on the smart mirror or?

              @Cr4z33 no, i wrote my own code for the mqtt integration

              but its fundamentally doing the same thing, receiving an mqtt message and sending a notification to other code to act

                @sdetweil I see I wish I had the same skills to do ALL by myself lol!

                However I wonder if I am the only person in the world having a smart video doorbell and MagicMirror?

                I mean I haven’t found any universal solution to this in this forum, but just some modules for certain doorbell hardware like Ring, etc.

                  @Cr4z33 and the ring module talks directly to the ring doorbell

                  you should be able to use HA automation to get to mqttBridge, no fancy coding

                  automation trigger
                  device bell button push
                  action, more, command, mqtt publish

                  i have ring doorbell, and the module doesnt work for me
                  doesnt matter, as im hardly ever in front of the smartmirror when the doorbell rings
                  there is a ring2mqtt docker container, but again it really doesnt add anything useful

                    @sdetweil and how would I get the broadcasting of the doorbell video feed?

                    Custom coding?

                      @Cr4z33 same rtspstream, that part of your solution didn’t change

                      button -> ha automation -> mqtt publish -> mqttbridge -> notification to rtspstream to open and connect video feed

                      altho you may have to use
                      https://github.com/evroom/MMM-MPlayer
                      instead of rtspstream module

                      and install MMM-ViewNotifications to see the events sent inside MagicMirror
