SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires paho-mqtt, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill bridges the gap between your AI camera events and your broader smart home or automation systems by publishing important notifications to an MQTT broker.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Event Publishing: Sends real-time notifications for events like person_detected, alert, and clip_completed to configurable MQTT topics.
  • Automation Integration: Seamlessly integrates with platforms like Home Assistant, Node-RED, or any system that subscribes to MQTT messages.
  • Use Case: When your camera detects a person, this Skill can publish a message to an MQTT topic that your Home Assistant instance subscribes to, triggering a notification on your phone or turning on a light.

Quick Start

Configure the MQTT broker address and port in the skill's parameters to start publishing events.
