Once again thank you @rkorell and @sdetweil for willing to help me!

Unfortunately real life last minute serious event had to stop me to dedicate to this matter for a long while.

Thank you again @rkorell and @sdetweil for your precious help, but I am at a point where I don’t have enough skill to generate the needed code lines.

What comes afterwards (ie. stop the stream, etc.) is not what worries me hehe, but all I am able to do at today is how to install a module and give it a basic config.

Having two modules to “talk” to each other is another matter and that’s where I start asking for help to people who know what they are doing (I am more a copy&paste or a tutorial follower guy). 😁

Once again this is the RTSP URL:

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

and this is the MQTT button press line:

2025-04-16 11:40:58,897 INFO __main__ Publishing MQTT message DahuaVTO/Invite/Event: {'Action': 'Pulse', 'Code': 'Invite', 'Data': {'CallID': '3', 'IsEncryptedStream': False, 'LocaleTime': '2025-04-16 11:40:58', 'LockNum': 2, 'RealUTC': 1744796458, 'SupportPaas': False, 'TCPPort': 37777, 'UTC': 1744800058.0, 'UserID': '101'}, 'Index': 0, 'deviceType': 'DHI-VTO3311Q-WP', 'serialNumber': '*******'}

I tried creating a Home Assistant automation, but it’s probably wrong.

@rkorell hi it’s a good question indeed.

However too bad that I am not skilled enough to know the answer lol that’s why I am posting here asking for help! 😂

Let’s see if @sdetweil or someone else can find out.

@wishmaster270 thanks for spending some time on my issue although you’re busy.
As sdetweil said he’s already helping me into this. 🙂

@sdetweil my bad, my bad and again my bad! 😓

I was going to tryout your method when I realized I actually never checked deeply what was outputting npm start… There’s A LOT of doorbell data being captured by MMM-MQTTbridge indeed! 🤦🏼

You can see here the output.

Can you see at this point (maybe) some additional data that needs to be added to mqttDictionary.js or do you still believe I should go your way (HA, automation, etc.)?

While waiting for your kind reply I will play at trying your method. 😁

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

Custom coding?

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

@Cr4z33 you could build an HA automation to send the MQTT message on button push

But then again nothing would happen.

I mean I’ve already DahuaVTO2MQTT in the middle and I used the right line taken from its console, but here we are. 😅

@sdetweil hmmm I see.

I wonder if there’s actually another way to see the doorbell stream when the button is pressed?

There’s a button sensor entity for it in Home Assistant.
