      Not as of yet but a project I"m interested in will require it so I’m curious as to how this works out…

        I know this is an old topic but hopefully someone has started using this module and can help out. I am looking for a way to have mqtt fire off an alert box when it receives a specific message on a particular topic. I haven’t really worked with alerts either.

          I have MQTT working now and pulling in data (Temperature) from a remote MQTT broker. Don’t think MMM-mqtt is going to handle your alert natively. You’d need something like Home Assistant to manage the automation?

            I have mosquito running I just want to send an alert to the alert module when I receive a notification that the mail was delivered on the topic: /sensors/mailbox

              I am hoping I can do the same as you but using openHab…

                Would you care to share how you did it? Thanks!

                  Hello. @xbmcnut i tried to use this module to connect to my home assistant broker with login and password but no success.
                  How can i show a state of my sensors from Esp8266 connected to home assistant via mqtt on my mirror?

                    As per the instructions here https://github.com/javiergayala/MMM-mqtt, sadly MMM-mqtt “Currently only supports unencrypted/unauthenticated MQTT connections” so it won’t work on a broker that has a username and password set up.

                      @xbmcnut No sure it’ll work for me… haven’t looked into but we’ll see. I need it to make a connection with OpenHab.

                        Here is my config:

                        {					
                        			module: 'MMM-mqtt',
                        			position: 'bottom_left',
                        			header: 'Office Temperature', // This is optional
                        			config: {
                        				mqttServer: 'mqtt://10.0.2.8', //Connection string for the server to connect to (mqtt://localhost)
                        				topic: '/garage/dallas/temperature',
                        				postText: ' °C'
                        			}
                        		},
