Adding Mosquitto MQTT messages to Conky

Adding Mosquitto MQTT messages to Conky took a bit of thinking about but turned out to be incredibly simple. It just needed the addition of this line to .conkyrc:

${texeci 60 mosquitto_sub -C 1 -h 192.168.1.94 -t mqtt/topic}


• texeci executes the command inside a thread which allows conky to load before the command has finished
• -h 192.168.1.94 should be changed to the IP address of your mosquitto client
• mqtt/topic should be replaced with the MQTT topic you are interested in
