MMM-MQTTbridge

[KSumwalt]

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.

@KSumwalt

the module is working. try to reinstall it and check the configuration once more.
Here is the community member says that he uses module perfectly https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/13726/mmm-ledstripcontrol-control-a-led-strip-with-optional-pong-game-support

Yes.

See

• that part of MMM-pages’s readme here https://github.com/edward-shen/MMM-pages#regarding-notifications and

• that part of MMM-MQTTbridge’s readme here https://github.com/sergge1/MMM-MQTTbridge#mqtt-to-notifications-dictionary-section

@KSumwalt please update the module and try once more. If the problem will exist, send here your logs

I’ve got a BTicino F20T60A power consumption meter connected by MQTT so can someone please help me to show power usage only on MagicMirror by using this MM module?

Feel free to ask me MQTT / Home Assistant details to provide (as I don’t know right now what you need 😅)!

@Cr4z33 Hi, I am working on a module which will be called MMM-ValuesByNotification (https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-ValuesByNotification) and will perfectly fit your needs.
If the payload of the notification is a valid json string the values can be selected with the JsonPath syntax.

If needed the values can be reformatted.

I am using it to display the temperature and humidity of different sensors in my house and the level of my watertank.

The module is functional already but not documented yet. The configuration can be a little bit tricky but I am planning to add a lot of examples to the readme in the next weeks.

@wishmaster270 that’s great news I’ve added your repo and will wait then for the instructions once they come out.

@Serge Hi,
as i am unable to modify the first post to announce new release i will start a new thread. Maybe you can link to it in the first post.
