Someone is at the front door

Post by RobLatour »

This card below is an example use of Push2Run's new ability, as of version 4, to react to MQTT messages.

The context for this card is as follows:

My Google Nest Doorbell cam can detect the presence of a person at my front door. They don't have to press the doorbell button, they just need to get close enough for the Doorbell cam to recognize that they are a person.

I have Home Assistant setup and running MQTT Mosquito broker. Additionally, the doorbell cam is linked to Home Assistant following the instructions and video here.

Now when my doorbell cam detects a person, it publishes a message via the MQTT broker running on Home Assistant.

Push2Run has subscribed to that message in the Push2Run - Options - MQTT window, and when it happens this card displays a Windows notification saying someone is at the front door.

The program that Push2Run opens to generate the Windows notification is NotifyOnDemand. NotifyOnDemand is another freeware program I have written, and you are welcome to find out more about it / get a copy from here: https://rlatour.com/notifyondemand/
