here is fribse’s great tutorial for simple integration of MM into Home Assistant ecosystem.
Following the logic from his post, user can expand it and control everything on its MM:

@Bugsounet said in MMM-AssistantMk2 (v3):

MMM-AssisantMk2 v3.1.1-1

Excellent updates!
@Bugsounet could you please explain in a few words the functionality of these two features:

ADD: ASSISTANT_WEB server for activate with keyword
MOTIFY : search KEYWORD/ TRYTOSAY translation script to improve performance

I have looked briefly on module’s wiki and did not found what do they mean.

@fribse , finally it works for you. So the reason was the incorrect config initially as I understood.

P.S. the logfile looks a bit weird:

log means that the payload of the noti is an “object” and not other type of data.

Now I have to figure out about the noti->mqtt thing,

Exactly the same as for mqtt->noti: create an noti->mqtt dictionary and that is, literally, all.

I can see that the monitor status is reported in the log, but I can’t see what ‘notification’ is sent

here author https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control#system-control wrote that Noti USER_PRESENCE: true or USER_PRESENCE: false is issued by the MMM-Remote-Control.
So configure your noti dictionary with these lines and you will get mqtt as soon as the USER_PRESENCE: true\false arrive. Pay attention, that the same noti could by issued by other modules, e.g.

Also, you can control other modules via mqtt-noti command. Starting from hiding/showing and ending with direct control. Examples:
Within your smarthome ecosystem based on MQTT/HomeAssistant (HA) - a great modules are

MMM-NewPIR - use your PIR sensor, integrated into MM as an instance within HA ecosystem and add it states to the scenes automation.
MMM-Youtube, - send mqtt->noti to this module and control via HA scenes e.g. turn-on news on Youtube in the morning etc.
MMM-Volume, set and turn-on/off the volume (e.g. during the day/night time)
Google Assistant etc.

Also, just a hint: add to ignoreNotiSender a default “clock” module. I will add this by default to the next release. The reason: “clock” module sends notification every second. So adding “clock” to ignored list will prevent MQTTbridge from checking “clock’s” notification in dictionary every second (just to save rpi cpu usage).

@fribse said in MMM-MQTTbridge:

[16:04:30.547] [LOG] [MQTT bridge] MQTT message received. Topic: cmnd/home/bathroom/mirror, message: TURN_OFF_SCREEN

the log record above means that MMM-MQTTbridge received mqtt message at the topic cmnd/home/bathroom/mirror with payload TURN_OFF_SCREEN.

The next log record

[16:04:30.639] [LOG] [MQTT bridge] MQTT -> NOTI issued: REMOTE_ACTION, payload: {action: ‘MONITOROFF’}

says that MQTTbridge issued MagicMirror’s notification REMOTE_ACTION with payload {action: 'MONITOROFF'} which is exactly what you need. So this part works well.

However, the further messages in log

[16:04:30.646] [LOG] Whoops! There was an uncaught exception…
[16:04:30.665] [LOG] MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
[16:04:30.667] [LOG] If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

says that something went wrong with the MM core. That could be the reason for not executing the command by another module.

To find out the reason, you need to localize the error. Try to disable all modules and then add modules one-by-one and find which one cause that error.
hint: to disable modules, use disabled: true within each module config.

Change also listenNoti: to false, in MQTTbridge config if you do not need to convert Noti to Mqtt messages. So the module will not check all incoming MM’s notifications.

Here is the full log within my setup, I just sent a simple message to issue noti TEST with payload message:

@almliden said in dead SD-card every aprox. 6 months:

Use RPi-images that writes to /tmpfs, or configure them to write temporary data to RAM to reduce wear on the SD-card.

How to do that?

Serge

@fribse
If you are of ok with basic soldering, you can follow this steps.
The cost of such very sensitive mic will be 2$.

I have made this mic myself and its sensitivity is very high.
Mic is located behind the glass and sensitivity level set to 5%.
With this set-up, I can speak normally 1.5-2.5 meters in front of the glass and mic+Raspberry recognizes what I am saying well.

@fribse said in MMM-MQTTbridge:

where can I see if it even receives the message?

see the log in terminal
module produces something like this:

[00:46:52.653] [LOG]    [MQTT bridge] MQTT message received. Topic: cmnd/home/smartmirror/volume/set, message: VOLUME_SET:0
[00:46:52.873] [LOG]    [MQTT bridge] MQTT -> NOTI issued: VOLUME_SET, payload: 0

Serge

You have (1) mismatch in config and (2) wrong use of MMMRemoteControl syntax.

First.
You config.js contains a line:

useMqttBridgeFormatOnly: false,

use the syntax exactly as it is written in the module’s readme. So please correct your config.js to useMqttBridgeFromatOnly.
!!! I know about this misprint but it will be corrected in next release. As of now use as it is mentioned in readme.

Second.

notiPayload: ‘MONITOROFF’

Notifications REMOTE_ACTION:MONITOROFF should be issued by the MQTTbridge module with your current mqttDictionary.js.

However, I have checked the MMM-Remote control module, section “examples” and have found that MMMRemoteControl requires different from your Notification’s payload. It requires format: REMOTE_ACTION:{action: 'MONITOROFF'}

So correct your mqttDictionary according to that format from MMM-Remote Control repo. As I understood, for monitor turn-off it should look like:

  commandId: "MONITOROFF",
  notiID: "REMOTE_ACTION",
  notiPayload: "{action: 'MONITOROFF'}"

Check the terminal log, MQTTbridge log in there (1) module start/stop (2) connection to mqtt server (3) conversion mqtt->noti.

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

MMM-MQTTbridge

https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-MQTTbridge

MMM-MQTTbridge allows you to integrate your MagicMirror into your smart home system via MQTT protocol and manage MagicMirror via MQTT messages by converting them into MM Notifications and vise verse - listen to your MM’s Notifications and convert them into MQTT mesages.

So, this module for MagicMirror do the following:

Listens to MQTT messages from your MQTT broker and, if mqtt-message arrives, module sends MM Notifications based on the pre-configured mqtt-to-notification Dictionary rules.
Listens to the MM Notifications within your MagicMirror environment. If Notification arrives, module sends MQTT message based on the preconfigured notification-to-mqtt Dictionary rules.

Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-MQTTbridge

CONFIG STRUCTURE

For better understanding, we have divided config into 3 sections:

General configurations in config.js;
“NOTIFICATION to MQTT” dictionary rules;
“MQTT to NOTIFICATION” dictionary rules;

GENERAL SECTION

{
	module: 'MMM-MQTTbridge',
	disabled: false,
	config: {
		mqttServer: "mqtt://:@localhost:1883",
		mqttConfig:
		{
			listenMqtt: true,
			interval: 300000,
		},
		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
	},
},

GENERAL part

mqttServerset you server address using the following format: “mqtt://”+USERNAME+“:”+PASSWORD+“@”+IPADDRESS+“:”+PORT. E.g. if you are using your broker without username/password on localhost with port 1883, you config should looks “mqtt://:@localhost:1883”.

MQTT part

listenMqtt - turn on/off the listening of MQTT messages. Set to false if you are going to use only NOTI->MQTT dictionary to save CPU usage;
interval - interval for MQTT status update, default is 300000ms.
(topics for subscription are taken from mqttDictionary.js

NOTIFICATION part

listenNoti - turn on/off the listening of NOTIFICATIONS. Set to false if you are going to use only MQTT->NOTI dictionary to save CPU usage;
ignoreNotiId - list your NOTIFICATION ID that should be ignored from processing, this saves CPU usage. E.g. [“CLOCK_MINUTE”, “NEWS_FEED”],
ignoreNotiSender - list your NOTIFICATION SENDERS that should be ignored from processing, this saves CPU usage. E.g. [“system”, “NEWS_FEED”]

NOTIFICATIONS to MQTT DICTIONARY SECTION

Should be set within ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MQTTbridge/dict/notiDictionary.js

If payloadValue is empty, the actual payload of the notification will be used as MQTT payload.
If payloadValue is specified and matches the payload received via the notification, mqttMsgPayload will be used as MQTT payload.

var notiHook = [
  {
    notiId: "CLOCK_SECOND",
    notiPayload: [
      {
        payloadValue: '10',
        notiMqttCmd: ["Command 1"]
      },
      {
        payloadValue: '20',
        notiMqttCmd: ["Command 2"]
      },
      {
        payloadValue: '30', 
        notiMqttCmd: ["Command 1"]
      },
    ],
  },
];
var notiMqttCommands = [
  {
    commandId: "Command 1",
    mqttTopic: "myhome/kitchen/light/set",
    mqttMsgPayload: '{"state":"OFF"}'
  },
  {
    commandId: "Command 2",
    mqttTopic: "myhome/kitchen/light/set",
    mqttMsgPayload: '{"state":"ON"}'
  },
];

MQTT to NOTIFICATIONS DICTIONARY SECTION

Should be set within ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-MQTTbridge/dict/mqttDictionary.js

If payloadValue is empty, the actual payload of the MQTT message will be used as notification payload.
If payloadValue is specified and matches the payload received via MQTT, notiPayload will be used as notification payload.

var mqttHook = [
    {
      mqttTopic: "dahoam/test",
      mqttPayload: [
        {
          payloadValue: "ASSISTANT_LISTEN",
          mqttNotiCmd: ["Command 1"]
        },
        {
          payloadValue: "",
          mqttNotiCmd: ["Command 2"]
        },
      ],
    },
    {
      mqttTopic: "dahoam/test2",
      mqttPayload: [
        {
          payloadValue: "",
          mqttNotiCmd: ["Command 2"]
        },
      ],
    },
  ];
var mqttNotiCommands = [
    {
      commandId: "Command 1",
      notiID: "ASSISTANT_LISTEN",
      notiPayload: 'BLABLABLA-1'
    },
    {
      commandId: "Command 2",
      notiID: "ASSISTANT_LISTEN",
      notiPayload: ''
    },
  ];
