Hi, I just ran a few tests and the module can automatically reconnect if the server reappears. It is handled automatically in the mqtt lib, my part was to stop flooding the MM logs with mqtt error messages.
Give this module a try if you are interested, I would really appreciate other good findings.

@KristjanESPERANTO Thanks! I am interested in that, I just don’t know how to do that :D Never changed other repos other than mine ever.

@adamambarus you edit this wiki page to add your module entry

@sdetweil Hahh, of course how could I not see that button…

sdetweil

@adamambarus great… now, suddenly (been running for near 2 years) MY mqtt server cannot be reached from outside the docker host… SO much fun…

Awsome! This changes a lot in my “config”, my Mirror(s) are tightly integrated with Home Assistant.
Thank you for this module!!

I’m currently running 3 different mirrors, but two of them are “mixed” with each other in HA, the third (first one) are separate :). I’ll have to do some more investigating. Have you tested with multiple mirrors against one “HA-MQTT”?

Again, thank you for this! :)

Update: I did some cleaning in the MQTT-queue (with MQTT Explorer) and now it all works. I got to have had my config(s) mixed at some point during my testing. So, now it’s all good. :)

@Snille Wow, I am so glad to hear it. I made a test with my real MagicMirror, and a dummy one running on a linux laptop. At this point I added a real uniqueID for the HA device config jsons.

Hmm, alright!! I will try to think of a handling in case two MM instances want to connect with the same device name. That is the only attribute left on the user.

I’m just here to say “Thank you” - installed the module yesterday and after some struggling with my MQTT Backend all is working :)

Just to be clear, this is meant to allow you to control the MM from HA, not display HA info on the MM, right?

@UncleRoger correct MMM-HomeAssistantDisplay
will display info from ha
