@shinebright should produce one note per each mqtt message, check your settings once more or try to install on clean mm setup.

@Serge got it thanks! i’ll give that a try. awesome module by the way, i managed to change some of your codes along with the compliments module. Now I’m sending messages from my phone to update the mirror compliments and the kids think the mirror is replying back to them. :)

@shinebright what you had changed? Could you tell soi can add it as an option for the next releases

Hi @Serge
I’ve finally received the mirror itself, so now the MagicMirror is finally getting finished.
One of the things was to update the MM itself, as well as a few modules (screencast).
After doing that, I don’t see any mqtt status messages going out, and it doesn’t react on incoming either.
I’ve checked the username/password, still correct, and the IP hasn’t changed either?

Version 1.1 released https://github.com/sergge1/MMM-MQTTbridge

Code updated with the help of community members.
Now,

• mqtt topics introduced into mqttDictionary. This allows now:
  – Subscribe to that specific topic from the mqttDictionary.
  – now you can specify different behavior for the same payload from different topics,
  e.g. if you got the mqttPayload “20” at “kitchen/temperature” topic and at “kitchen/humiduty” topic - different Command could be executed (before module recognized only payload for all the topics subscribed);

• Now, if notiPayload or mqttPayload are not specified within mqttDictionary or notiDictionary, the respective payload from mqtt or noti will be sent as payload for noti or mqtt.
  E.g. if MM receives the mqtt message at “kitchen/temperature” with payload “20”, and mqttDictionary does not have specified payload at all - the “20” will go as payload for issued Noti.

• All errors of several mqtt connections disappear;

• mqttBridgeFormatOnly - not used anymore;

• Changed mqttDictionary according to notiDictionary. Subscription to topic only once

Please do not forget to change the config section and mqttDictionary accroding to the new structure.

Stupid novice question. How can I update the module? :) I have to remove the old one and upload the new one, is there any command to update the already uploaded module?

[sdetweil]

@majdzik84 upload? internet is upload, local computer is download

to update a module locally, you go to that module folder and do a git pull

sometimes you also need to do npm install again, but I would try first without it

Hello,

I installed the module on Aug 18, 2020 and have it connecting to my broker. Either I have something off or the module always sends out the notification’s payload and I cannot over-ride such. My notiDictionary.js file looks like this:

var notiHook = [
  {
    notiId: "USERS_LOGIN",
    notiPayload: [
      {
        payloadValue: '', 
        notiMqttCmd: ["Command 1"]
      },
    ],
  },
  {
    notiId: "SHOW_ALERT",
    notiPayload: [
      {
        payloadValue: '', 
        notiMqttCmd: ["Command 2"]
      },
    ],
  },
  {
    notiId: "NEWS_FEED",
    notiPayload: [
      {
        payloadValue: '', 
        notiMqttCmd: ["Command 3"]
      },
    ],
  },
];
var notiMqttCommands = [
  {
    commandId: "Command 1",
    mqttTopic: "mirror/profile",
    mqttMsgPayload: 'george'
 //    mqttMsgPayload: '{state:"OFF"}'
  },
  {
    commandId: "Command 2",
    mqttTopic: "mirror/alert/set",
    mqttMsgPayload: 'on'
  },
  {
    commandId: "Command 3",
    mqttTopic: "mirror/alert/test",
    mqttMsgPayload: 'go'
  },
];

module.exports = { notiHook, notiMqttCommands };

When an alert is shown, the SHOW_ALERT send an MQTT Topic of mirror/alert/set but the payload according to MQTT Snooper and my HomeSeer system is [object Object]. I expected it to be a string of on. NEWS_FEED does noth8ing, as expected from the config. USERS_LOGIN is from the MMM-Face-Reco-DNN module. It has a string value of the person who’s face it recognizes. When it recognizes me, the payload for the MQTT topic is Karl both when I have no value and when I have George in the payload setting as shown above.

This is how I have the module configured in the config.js file:

		{
			module: 'MMM-MQTTbridge',
//			disabled: false,
			config: {
				mqttServer: "mqtt://192.168.1.2:1883",
				mqttConfig:
				{
					listenMqtt: true,
					interval: 300000,
				},
				notiConfig:
				{
					listenNoti: true,
					ignoreNotiId: ["CLOCK_MINUTE", "NEWS_FEED"],
					ignoreNotiSender: ["system", "NEWS_FEED"],
				},
				// set "NOTIFICATIONS -> MQTT" dictionary at /dict/notiDictionary.js
				// set "MQTT -> NOTIFICATIONS" dictionary at /dict/mqttDictionary.js
			},
		},

What might I be doing wrong?

Note that for an IP address and no username/password I had to set the server to mqttServer: “mqtt://192.168.1.2:1883”, dropping the colon (:) prior to the IP address. I had it in there based on the provided settings for the localhost version.
