# 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:

```bat

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

msbuild

```

Uses the M2MQTT library: https://www.nuget.org/packages/M2Mqtt/
