MQTTNotifier

Lightweight Windows 10 background application that creates Toast Notifications from MQTT messages.

Designed intentionally for simplicity & portability:

• .NET Framework 4.5.2: probably even runs on Windows 8 (not tested)
• No additional runtimes, libraries or dependencies
• Portable: no installation required

Message formats

Supports two message formats:

• Raw: Message text appears as the content
• JSON (HomeAssistant format): {"title": "Message title", "message": "Hello world!"}

Usage

The program folder can be placed anywhere (e.g. C:\Program Files\MQTTNotifier)

Add a shortcut to MQTTNotifier.exe in your Startup folder (optional)

Configuration

All configuration is in MQTTNotifier.exe.config - which must be located beside the executable itself.

Building

The build toolchain that comes with Windows works:

PATH=%PATH%;C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
msbuild
