Need help with MMM-MQTTbridge not "communicating" with MMM-RTSPStream
-
@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 workfor 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 publishi 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 moduleand install MMM-ViewNotifications to see the events sent inside MagicMirror
