[MMM-MQTTbridge] A module to publish and receive MQTT messages

Cr4z33

@wishmaster270 sorry to bother you again.

Right now my mqtt Dictionary.js looks like this

var mqttHook = [
  {
    mqttTopic: "zigbee2mqtt/BTicino F20T60A",
    mqttPayload: [
      {
        payloadValue: "",
        mqttNotiCmd: ["POWERMETER"],
        mqttPayload: ""
      },
    ],
  },
];

var mqttNotiCommands = [
  {
    commandId: "POWERMETER",
    notiID: "POWERMETER_VALUES",
  },
];

module.exports = { mqttHook,  mqttNotiCommands};

so how should I add the new piece of code please?

@Cr4z33 The two datatstructures are arrays containing objects. So you can simply append the two objects…

var mqttHook = [
  {
    mqttTopic: "zigbee2mqtt/BTicino F20T60A",
    mqttPayload: [
      {
        payloadValue: "",
        mqttNotiCmd: ["POWERMETER"],
        mqttPayload: ""
      },
    ],
  },
  {
      mqttTopic: "DahuaVTO/VideoTalkLog/Event",
      mqttPayload: [
        {
           jsonpath: "Action", 
           conditions: [
                       {
                         type: "eq",
                         value: "Pulse"
                       },
                     ],
          mqttNotiCmd: ["doorbell"]
        },
      ],
    },
];

var mqttNotiCommands = [
  {
    commandId: "POWERMETER",
    notiID: "POWERMETER_VALUES",
  },
  {
      commandId: "doorbell",
      notiID: "RTSP-PLAY",
      notiPayload: "YOUR-STREAM-URL" 
    },
];

module.exports = { mqttHook,  mqttNotiCommands};

@wishmaster270 thank you again!

However nothing happens in the MagicMirror frontend (although I can see the MQTT event if running MM by npm start

[23.07.2024 17:15.55.132] [LOG]   [MQTT bridge] MQTT message received. Topic: DahuaVTO/VideoTalkLog/Event, message: {"Action":"Pulse","Data":{"EndState":"Missed","LocalNumber":"9901","LocaleTime":"2024-07-23 17:15:55","RealUTC":1721747755,"TalkTime":0,"UTC":1721751355}}

I suspect that I am entering the wrong data at

"YOUR-STREAM-URL"

What shall I enter? Just the IP address or something like ie.

rtsp://username:password@IPADDRESS/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1#backchannel=0

if using pm2 to autolaunch MM, then

pm2 logs --lines=xxxx

will show you the last xxxx of the output

@Cr4z33 Hi,

think I found the problem.
You need to send streamX as value where X is the number of the stream in the configuration of MMM-RTSPStream.
You will need to configure the camera information in the MMM-RTSPStream module and only will be able to start the stream by notification

Thank you both will do as soon as I am back at home again!

Hi mate I am coming back after a long time because real life was very busy lately and I could get back at this only in the last 2 days.

So based on your reply I set mqttDictionary.js like this

var mqttHook = [
  {
    mqttTopic: "zigbee2mqtt/BTicino F20T60A",
    mqttPayload: [
      {
        payloadValue: "",
        mqttNotiCmd: ["POWERMETER"],
        mqttPayload: ""
      },
    ],
  },
  {
      mqttTopic: "DahuaVTO/VideoTalkLog/Event",
      mqttPayload: [
        {
           jsonpath: "Action", 
           conditions: [
                       {
                         type: "eq",
                         value: "Pulse"
                       },
                     ],
          mqttNotiCmd: ["videocitofono"]
        },
      ],
    },
];

var mqttNotiCommands = [
  {
    commandId: "POWERMETER",
    notiID: "POWERMETER_VALUES",
  },
  {
      commandId: "videocitofono",
      notiID: "RTSP-PLAY",
      notiPayload: "stream1" 
    },
];

module.exports = { mqttHook,  mqttNotiCommands};

Although stream1 is the one and only stream used in MMM-RTSPStream I still get no playback when the doorbell button is pressed, but if I start the stream by clicking on the module’s playback button then it works.

I paste here also the PM2 log line (note that sensitive data have been censored) when the doorbell button is pressed:

[23.09.2024 12:36.03.216] [LOG]   [MQTT bridge] MQTT message received. Topic: DahuaVTO/VideoTalkLog/Event, message: {
    "Action": "Pulse",
    "Code": "VideoTalkLog",
    "Data": {
        "EndState": "Missed",
        "LocalNumber": "9901",
        "LocaleTime": "2024-09-23 12:36:03",
        "RealUTC": 1727087763,
        "TalkTime": 0,
        "UTC": 1727091363.0
    },
    "Index": 0,
    "deviceType": "DHI-VTO2202F-P-S2",
    "serialNumber": "*******"
}

Can you please see why it’s not working yet? 🙏🏼

@Cr4z33 Hi and welcome back.
I still do not have a glue about the RTSP module.

Can you please provide your RTSP config. I try to reproduce the problem but do not have much time to test at the moment.

Cr4z33

@wishmaster270 here is the code of my RTSPStream module thanks. 🙂

I replaced my video doorbell RTSP stream with some testing live HTTPS camera one as I couldn’t find a working RTSP testing stream.

Take your time as long as it takes. 👍🏼

{
			module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
			position: "middle_center",
			disabled: false,
			config: {
				autoStart: false,
				rotateStreams: true,
				rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
				moduleWidth: 500,
				moduleHeight: 281,
				localPlayer: 'vlc',
				moduleOffset: { left: -170, top: -125 },
				remotePlayer: 'ffmpeg',
				showSnapWhenPaused: false,
				remoteSnaps: false,
				shutdownDelay: 12,
				stream1: {
						name: 'Videocitofono',
						url: 'https://99663300.hopto.org:19526/Jpeg/1?authToken=7f9c4ca8-e776-40c9-b242-6882b7b4775e&1727250645145',
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 500,
						height: 281,
						muted: true,
						ffmpegPort: 9999,
						},
				}
		},

@wishmaster270 after I left this project abandoned for almost 1 year I went back to it, but I still can’t get it to work. 🥲

To resume what I want to achieve is to have MMM-RTSPStream popping up a live doorbell video feed on my smart mirror whenever someone presses the button.

The interested MQTT line is

2025-04-16 10:30:07,536 INFO __main__ Publishing MQTT message DahuaVTO/Invite/Event: {'Action': 'Pulse', 'Code': 'Invite', 'Data': {'CallID': '2', 'IsEncryptedStream': False, 'LocaleTime': '2025-04-16 10:30:07', 'LockNum': 2, 'RealUTC': 1744792207, 'SupportPaas': False, 'TCPPort': 37777, 'UTC': 1744795807.0, 'UserID': '101'}, 'Index': 0, 'deviceType': 'DHI-VTO3311Q-WP', 'serialNumber': '********'}

I therefore edited my current mqttDictionary.js by adding

var mqttHook = [
  {
    mqttTopic: "zigbee2mqtt/BTicino F20T60A",
    mqttPayload: [
      {
        payloadValue: "",
        mqttNotiCmd: ["POWERMETER"],
        mqttPayload: ""
      },
    ],
  },
  {
      mqttTopic: "DahuaVTO/Invite/Event",
      mqttPayload: [
        {
           jsonpath: "Action", 
           conditions: [
                       {
                         type: "eq",
                         value: "Pulse"
                       },
                     ],
          mqttNotiCmd: ["videocitofono"]
        },
      ],
    },
];

var mqttNotiCommands = [
  {
    commandId: "POWERMETER",
    notiID: "POWERMETER_VALUES",
  },
  {
      commandId: "videocitofono",
      notiID: "RTSP-PLAY",
      notiPayload: "stream1" 
    },
];

module.exports = { mqttHook,  mqttNotiCommands};

I then edited in config.js the lines related to the MMM-RTSPStream module like this

{
			module: "MMM-RTSPStream",
			position: "middle_center",
			disabled: false,
			config: {
				autoStart: false,
				rotateStreams: true,
				rotateStreamTimeout: 10,
				moduleWidth: 500,
				moduleHeight: 281,
				localPlayer: 'vlc',
				moduleOffset: { left: -170, top: -125 },
				remotePlayer: 'ffmpeg',
				showSnapWhenPaused: false,
				remoteSnaps: false,
				shutdownDelay: 12,
				stream1: {
						name: 'Videocitofono',
						url: 'rtsp://username:password@ipaddress/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=1#backchannel=0',
						frameRate: 'undefined',
						width: 500,
						height: 281,
						muted: true,
						ffmpegPort: 9999,
						},
				}
		},

Nothing happens when I press the doorbell button.

Maybe we need to add some more data to mqttDictionary.js?
