About
mqttwarn - subscribe to MQTT topics and notify pluggable services.
Description
mqttwarn subscribes to any number of MQTT topics and publishes received payloads to one or more notification services after optionally applying sophisticated transformations.
A picture says a thousand words.
Notification service coverage
mqttwarn comes with over 70 notification handler plugins, covering a wide range of notification services and is very open to further contributions. You can enjoy the alphabetical list of plugins on the mqttwarn notifier catalog page.
On top of that, it integrates with the excellent Apprise notification library. Apprise notification services has a complete list of the 80+ notification services supported by Apprise.
Documentation
The mqttwarn documentation is the right place to read all about mqttwarn’s features and integrations, and how you can leverage all its framework components for building custom applications. Its service plugins can be inspected on the mqttwarn notifier catalog page.
Installation
Using pip
Synopsis:
pip install --upgrade mqttwarn
You can also add support for a specific service plugin:
pip install --upgrade 'mqttwarn[xmpp]'
You can also add support for multiple services, all at once:
pip install --upgrade 'mqttwarn[apprise,asterisk,nsca,desktopnotify,tootpaste,xmpp]'
