      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'
                    			}
                    		},

                      If you are using a MQTT broker, MMM-mqtt will work with any HA system as it’s only subscribing to a MQTT topic.

                        @xbmcnut Great to know!! Thank you!

                        Going to build a module to show the temp from this on the mirror:

                        https://hestiapi.com/

                        At some point would like to be able to change the temp as well but just getting it to show the temp right now would be awesome :)
