So after 14 days I was FINALLY able to find a volunteer strong enough to help me hanging this 30 kg 55" smart mirror to the bathroom wall! :face_with_tears_of_joy:

I took inspiration from @spitzlbergerj wonderfull smart mirror and I have to thank him for giving me the Sketchup file and all the informations needed! :thumbs_up_medium_skin_tone:

The frame is made by beechwood (all the cutting and moulding was made by a carpenter) with specific measures to perfectly contain the LED TV.

The glass has been glued to the frame by using a very special glue called Soudal Fix All High Tack.
Keep it in mind if you want to make a borderless smart mirror as it is very effective.

List of parts:

• Raspberry Pi 3 B+
• 55" Samsung LED TV UE55NU7170
• Beech strips
• Pilkington MirroView glass
• 15W SEBSON Mirror Light LED
• Poly Pool pp2522.2 Spaziozero Socket Rack
• BTicino S3610D/F Connector Adaptor for P 30 and Pin 10 Amp with Lightning Protection
• USB microphone Andoer (I made a hole at the bottom in the center of the frame to fit it)
• 2 x GedoTec Cabinet hanger Cabinet suspension invisible Upper cabinet Buoyancy 130 kg Steel zinc plated for Press-in operation (find in the link also the leftside hanger)
• A bunch of very good & handy WAGO 221-413 ELECTRICAL WIRE BLOCK CONNECTOR STRIP
• A generic 4000K LED strip all around the frame to improve room light

List of 3rd-party modules:

• MMM-AssistantMk2
• MMM-DarkSkyForecast
• MMM-Hotword
• MMM-NowPlayingOnSpotify
• MMM-PushBulletNotifications
• MMM-Remote-Control
• MMM-RTSPStream

Some other pics of my mirror:

Special thanks go to (again) @spitzlbergerj , @Sean (especially for custom voice command needs and for initial modules setup), @shbatm for struggling at trying to help me fixing bugs and (my bad) mistakes done by myself (:smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:), @evroom and whoever else I forgot to mention (sorry!).

Feel free to ask here, but give me time to answer because I have a quite busy life. :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

@jew_lion go for MMM-PushBulletNotifications.

Same features, but perfectly working. ;)

@bleusswissbless lol at the headset with microphone! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Fair enough if it is working as intended.

@justjim1220 thanks didn’t know about that. :)

Will run it as soon as I get home.

@dazza120 yes.

You can read here a very good article about all the good things it can do and how the Pi 4 is performing compared to the previous generation. :)

https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/raspberry-pi-4-b,6193.html

@justjim1220

OK, thanks.

Update:
When not using a background then overall performance improves! :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

@dæmoneyes yes correct, but if you aren’t going to do a mirror bigger than let’s say a A4 paper then you can ask Pilkington to send you a free sample.

I did and they sent it without any hassle. 😉

@justjim1220 sorry didn’t read properly your suggestion and missed that forward slash! :smiling_face:

Everything is sorted now thanks again!

@dazza120 oh alright that’s the same solution I used with another board. 👍🏼

@justjim1220 said in MMM-NewsFeedTicker:

you might have better luck using encoding: "ISO-8859-15" or encoding: "ISO-8859-9"
The latter one is supposed to work best with European characters

I still got some wrong encodings from time to time, but doing a search it came out that Italian users have to use encoding: "ISO-8859-16" instead.

@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. 👍🏼

@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

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

although I can see the MQTT event if running MM by npm start

if using pm2 to autolaunch MM, then

pm2 logs --lines=xxxx

will show you the last xxxx of the output

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

@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

@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?

@wishmaster270 thank you mate!

Yeah I will add a timeout command as I don’t think it will take much to search for it. 🙂

@wishmaster270 I would like to intercept the MQTT event of when my Dahua video doorbell is pressed and send the stream to MMM-RTSPStream, but I don’t really know how to get the two modules to “talk” to each other… 😅

So looking at DahuaVTO2MQTT registry this comes out when the doorbell button is pressed:

MQTT message published, Topic: DahuaVTO/VideoTalkLog/Event, Payload: {"Action":"Pulse","Data":{"EndState":"Missed","LocalNumber":"9901","LocaleTime":"2024-07-22 10:09:27","RealUTC":1721635767,"TalkTime":0,"UTC":1721639367}}

Now looking at MMM-RTSPStream readme this is the section where it explains how to control it from other modules (aka MMM-MQTTbridge), but as I said above it didn’t make sense to me.

Can you please help me (at least on your module’s side)?

@gonzonia alright thanks anyway for giving it a try. :)

@gonzonia did you check this?

Are you sure? :crying_face:

@gonzonia any chance you might adapt it for Tomorrow.io (former ClimaCell) users too? :)
