Need help with MMM-MQTTbridge not "communicating" with MMM-RTSPStream

@sdetweil said in Need help with MMM-MQTTbridge not "communicating" with MMM-RTSPStream:

@Cr4z33 something is not sending the mqtt message

bell -> ha automation -> mqtt -> mqttbridge -> rtsp…
should work

for me, this works

alexa-> nodered -> mqtt > ha automation -> mqtt -> mirror_app -> screen off

And you are using this MQTT module on the smart mirror or?

sdetweil

@Cr4z33 no, i wrote my own code for the mqtt integration

but its fundamentally doing the same thing, receiving an mqtt message and sending a notification to other code to act

Cr4z33

@sdetweil I see I wish I had the same skills to do ALL by myself lol!

However I wonder if I am the only person in the world having a smart video doorbell and MagicMirror?

I mean I haven’t found any universal solution to this in this forum, but just some modules for certain doorbell hardware like Ring, etc.

sdetweil

@Cr4z33 and the ring module talks directly to the ring doorbell

you should be able to use HA automation to get to mqttBridge, no fancy coding

automation trigger
device bell button push
action, more, command, mqtt publish

i have ring doorbell, and the module doesnt work for me
doesnt matter, as im hardly ever in front of the smartmirror when the doorbell rings
there is a ring2mqtt docker container, but again it really doesnt add anything useful

@sdetweil and how would I get the broadcasting of the doorbell video feed?

Custom coding?

sdetweil

@Cr4z33 same rtspstream, that part of your solution didn’t change

button -> ha automation -> mqtt publish -> mqttbridge -> notification to rtspstream to open and connect video feed

altho you may have to use
https://github.com/evroom/MMM-MPlayer
instead of rtspstream module

and install MMM-ViewNotifications to see the events sent inside MagicMirror

@sdetweil hmm I want to give it a try tomorrow morning (GMT+2).

Would you mind if I might contact you by PM just in case? 🥺

sdetweil

Hi and sorry fir the late reply…
Your config of the MQTT module is still missing a “debug: true”. The messages only get logged if debugging is enabled.

	{
		module: 'MMM-MQTTbridge',
		disabled: false,
		config: {
                        debug: true, 
			mqttServer: "mqtt://:@ipaddress:port",
			mqttConfig:
			{
				listenMqtt: true,
				interval: 500,
			},
			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
			},
	}

@wishmaster270 yes, we covered that before
