Project description
Simple MQTT Door Bell
A simple Linux-based doorbell, which plays the mp3 bell ringtone upon receiving a MQTT message.
The main idea is to create a system service, which can play an audio file upon receiving the message from the MQTT message broker. This may be useful for configuring sound notifications or alarms in the Home Assistant automations.
Supported platforms
This solution has been tested on Ubuntu 22.04, but most likely will work on other Linux distros, with minor changes.
Prerequisites
-
Mosquitto MQTT message broker installed and accessible from the deployment machine.
-
MP3 player utility, which can play mp3 files from the command line, installed on the host machine. I used mpg123 but other options should work as well.
-
Python verison >= 3.10
