MMM-IndoorTemp

This is an extension for the MagicMirror². It emits the notification "INDOOR_TEMPERATURE" to display the indoor temperature received via a subscribed MQTT topic. The module is based on Javier Ayala's module MMM-mqtt.

It's working with every temperatur MQTT topic. If you're looking for a sensor, you can easily start with a WeMos D1 mini in combination with a DHT Shield and the firmware based on Homie. You can find it in the other folders.

MagicMirror Module Installation

1. Ensure that you have the necessary libraries/clients for mqtt installed on the computer that will be running this extension. (For example, running sudo apt-get install mosquitto mosquitto-clients on Debian-based distributions.)
2. Install mqtt via npm install mqtt.
3. Navigate into your MagicMirror's modules folder and execute git clone https://github.com/sebastianhodapp/MMM-IndoorTemp.git. A new folder will appear, likely called MMM-IndoorTemp. Navigate into it.
4. Execute npm install to install the node dependencies.
