Module for MagicMirror showing the payload of a message from MQTT.
Go to MagicMirror/modules
and write
git clone https://github.com/ottopaulsen/MMM-MQTT
cd MMM-MQTT
npm install
Here is an example configuration with description. Put it in the MagicMirror/config/config.js
file:
{
module: 'MMM-MQTT',
position: 'bottom_left',
header: 'MQTT',
config: {
logging: false,
useWildcards: false,
mqttServers: [
{

// ca: '/path/to/ca/cert.crt', // Path to trusted CA certificate file (optional)
// cert: '/path/to/cert/cert.crt', // Path to cert certificate file (optional)
// key: '/path/to/key/private.key', // Path to private key file (optional)
// allowUnauthorized: true, // Allow unauthorized connections for self signed certificates (optional)
// clientId: 'mirror', // Custom MQTT client ID (optional)
user: 'user', // Leave out for no user
password: 'password', // Leave out for no password
subscriptions: [
{
topic: 'smoky/1/inside/temperature', // Topic to look for
label: 'Temperature', // Displayed in front of value
suffix: '°C', // Displayed after the value
decimals: 1, // Round numbers to this number of decimals
sortOrder: 10, // Can be used to sort entries in the same table
maxAgeSeconds: 60, // Reduce intensity if value is older
maxLifeSeconds: 600, // Hide if value is older
broadcast: true, // Broadcast messages to other modules
colors: [ // Value dependent colors
{ upTo: -10, value: "blue", label: "blue", suffix: "blue" },
{ upTo: 0, value: "#00ccff", label: "#00ccff", suffix: "#00ccff" },
{ upTo: 10, value: "yellow"},
{ upTo: 25, label: "green", suffix: "green" },
{ upTo: 100, label: "red" }, // The last one is used for higher values too
],
},

sortOrder: 20,
maxAgeSeconds: 60,
maxLifeSeconds: 600
},
{

sortOrder: 20,

maxLifeSeconds: 600
},

},
{

},
{
topic: "house/1/doors/1",

conversions: [
{ from: "true", to: "Open" },
{ from: "false", to: "Closed" }
]
}
]
}
],
}
}
mqttServers is an array, so you can add multiple servers to the same config. You can also use the module in multiple places on the mirror/screen.
If the payload contains JSON data, use the jsonpointer configuration to get the value. See JSON Ponter specification or google an easier description.
Wildcard "+" is supported in topics, but it only works on some platforms (Chrome, Electron). Set the useWildcards config to true for wildcards to work.
Use the conversions config to convert values from one to another. If there is no match, the received value is used.
For numeric values, you can use multiply
or divide
to multiply or divide values before they are displayed. See example with divide
above.
You can also use this to display icons. Example:
conversions: [
{
from: "on",
to: "<i class='fas fa-toggle-on' style='color:green'></i>",
},
{
from: "off",
to: "<i class='fas fa-toggle-off' style='color:red'></i>",
},
];
By setting config variable broadcast: true
for a given topic, every message with that topic is broadcasted to every other module using sendNotification
with notification identifier MQTT_MESSAGE_RECEIVED
. This can then be received by any other module using receiveNotification
.
You can hide the complete table entry if the value is like defined.
In this example we only show the green button if value is 'on'. If the value is 'off' the whole line is hidden.
conversions: [
{
from: "on",
to: "<i class='fas fa-toggle-on' style='color:green'></i>",
},
{
from: "off",
to: "#DISABLED#",
},
];
For numeric values, color codes can be configured using the colors array in the subscription config. If you are using the same color scheme on multiple topics, you can configure it as a constant above the config variable like this:
const humidityColors = [
{upTo: 95, value: ''},
{upTo: 100, value: '#1a1aff'},
];
var config = {
...
and then refer to it like this:
colors: humidityColors;
General styling can be done in the MQTT.css
file. The table header can be styled using locator #module_3_MMM-MQTT > header
. The column text can be styled using the following classes:
.mqtt-label {
}
.mqtt-value {
}
.mqtt-suffix {
}
Pull requests are welcome.
Thanks to Jan Lehnardt for the jsonpointer.js file. I had to copy it from the repo and make a small change, in order to be able to use it from both the module helper and the module file.
The topic_match code is also copied
Create a timeout, so values are deleted if they are not refreshed. May be faded out...
Create a threshold so a value is flashing if outside threshold.
Make a filter so a row is displayed only if a value satisfies certain criteria. To be used f.eks. when a battery level is too low.
Make a sound when a specific value changes.
