MMM-MQTTbridge doesn't seem to report USER_PRESENCE correctly?

fribse

I can see that MMM-Remote-Control set’s the USER_PRESENCE depending on the state of the monitor.
I try to interpret that to update the status of the switch in HomeAssistant by having it set up in the notiDictionary

The config looks like this:

var notiHook = [
  {
    notiId: "USER_PRESENCE",
    notiPayload: [
      {
        payloadValue: true,
        notiMqttCmd: ["SCREENON"]
      },
      {
        payloadValue: false,
        notiMqttCmd: ["SCREENOFF"]
      },
    ],
  },
];
var notiMqttCommands = [
  {
    commandId: "SCREENOFF",
    mqttTopic: "bathroom/mirror/monitor",
    mqttMsgPayload: "{'state':'OFF'}"
  },
  {
    commandId: "SCREENON",
    mqttTopic: "bathroom/mirror/monitor",
    mqttMsgPayload: "{'state':'ON'}"
  },
];

module.exports = { notiHook, notiMqttCommands };

The logs looks like this:

0|mm     | [2020-10-16 09:44:34.089] [LOG]
0|mm     | [MQTT bridge] NOTI->MQTT. Topic: bathroom/mirror/monitor, payload: false
0|mm     | [2020-10-16 09:44:34.101] [LOG]
0|mm     | Powering off HDMI
0|mm     | [2020-10-16 09:44:34.102] [LOG]
0|mm     | [2020-10-16 09:44:36.936] [LOG]
0|mm     | [MQTT bridge] NOTI->MQTT. Topic: bathroom/mirror/monitor, payload: {"state":"ON"}
0|mm     | [2020-10-16 09:44:37.793] [LOG]
0|mm     | Powering on HDMI with preferred settings
0|mm     | [2020-10-16 09:44:37.795] [LOG]

So when it turns off, it doesn’t report state: off it just reports ‘false’ and it only reports state:on when it’s on.

I do see the messages appear in the MQTT, but as they are incorrectly formatted, HA doesn’t update it properly.

@fribse please send here as well console log. Also, could you please wait and check wat is happening when FALSE is sent by user_presence for the second time.
E.g. it would help full to see behaviour : false, true, … false

Serge

@fribse resolved on github, the reason is that for Boolean values the payloadValue should be set up as 1 or 0 for true/false.

The config that works looks like this:

var notiHook = [
  {
    notiId: "USER_PRESENCE",
    notiPayload: [
      {
        payloadValue: '1',
        notiMqttCmd: ["SCREENON"]
      },
      {
        payloadValue: '0',
        notiMqttCmd: ["SCREENOFF"]
      }
    ]
  }
];
var notiMqttCommands = [
  {
    commandId: "SCREENOFF",
    mqttTopic: "state/bathroom/mirror/monitor",
    mqttMsgPayload: "OFF"
  },
  {
    commandId: "SCREENON",
    mqttTopic: "state/bathroom/mirror/monitor",
    mqttMsgPayload: "ON"
  }
];

module.exports = { notiHook, notiMqttCommands };

Thankyou again for your excellent help and sharp eyes Serge!.
