@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.

@sdetweil I am not quite sure that I understood.

Are you saying it’s a module’s bug or is it needed further coding I should add (somewhere)?

@sdetweil it’s OK mate and thanks for having tried to help me. :)

Let’s hope someone can come up with a working solution soon.
