Is it possible to change the color of text based on the ‘payload’ text? I have MMM-MQTT pulling in my Home Assistant sensors using MQTT Statestream which is great but I have two entities where it would be great to have different colors for the text; my garage door and my pool pump. An example of the MQTT module with the text is shown below. The garage state is either ‘Open’ or ‘Closed’ and the pool pump is either ‘Stopped’ or ‘Running’

Is that possible using custom.css or would I need support from the module author?

Is there a way to seek multiple topics without having to run the module several times? Like using an array …

Yes, you can add another entity in the same position and it will add it below the older one (including the title)

Going to build a module to show the temp from this on the mirror

Should be pretty easy if that device can publish the temperature to a broker.

@xbmcnut No sure it’ll work for me… haven’t looked into but we’ll see. I need it to make a connection with OpenHab.

If you are using a MQTT broker, MMM-mqtt will work with any HA system as it’s only subscribing to a MQTT topic.

Would you care to share how you did it? Thanks!

Here is my config:

{					
			module: 'MMM-mqtt',
			position: 'bottom_left',
			header: 'Office Temperature', // This is optional
			config: {
				mqttServer: 'mqtt://10.0.2.8', //Connection string for the server to connect to (mqtt://localhost)
				topic: '/garage/dallas/temperature',
				postText: ' °C'
			}
		},

Hello. @xbmcnut i tried to use this module to connect to my home assistant broker with login and password but no success.
How can i show a state of my sensors from Esp8266 connected to home assistant via mqtt on my mirror?

As per the instructions here https://github.com/javiergayala/MMM-mqtt, sadly MMM-mqtt “Currently only supports unencrypted/unauthenticated MQTT connections” so it won’t work on a broker that has a username and password set up.

I know this is an old topic but hopefully someone has started using this module and can help out. I am looking for a way to have mqtt fire off an alert box when it receives a specific message on a particular topic. I haven’t really worked with alerts either.

I have MQTT working now and pulling in data (Temperature) from a remote MQTT broker. Don’t think MMM-mqtt is going to handle your alert natively. You’d need something like Home Assistant to manage the automation?

@Sandy2503 I believe in the latest version of PM2, this was removed.

@rmohsen Apologies. My install has died over the weekend and MM will no longer run. Getting to Desktop login screen on reboot and that’s it even though I told it to auto login, the desktop will not start. Have popped in ‘too hard bin’ for the moment, sorry.

@rmohsen Do you know how to access your mirror with either PuTTy or WinSCP?
