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?
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? -

@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:
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 :)

Should be pretty easy if that device can publish the temperature to a broker.

@xbmcnut It can. I have ‘the guide’ another user put together for the thermostat and now this module! :) Shouldn’t be too bad. Just have to find time to really focus on it… perhaps this weekend. I’m just so busy.

Is there a way to seek multiple topics without having to run the module several times? Like using an array …
