I've ordered a DFplayer and wondered if anyone here is using them in conjunction with Node-red and Tasmota. I'm thinking ahead and wondered how to control them to play messages when different things happen, I guess it's a simple 'Play track n' but I have no idea how to do it.

The DFPlayer is connected to an ESP8266 running Tasmota via serial

Perhaps you should wait until you receive the device. [Tasmota has support](https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Commands/#mp3-player) for it, so it should be a simple mqtt command.

You're probably right, but my ideas got the better of me 🤓. I must admit I haven't looked at the Tasmota pages for ages - it's changed quite a bit !. How would I send a MP3Track `x` = play track ?

the topic would be: cmd/[device-id]/MP3Track ..use the track no. as value and the Device.ID configured in the tasmota settings of the DFPlayer device.

Thanks @hominidae sounds simple enough - I'll give it a go when the module eventually gets here from the slow boat from China, then it's time to annoy my wife ... 😁  
No doubt I'll be back here.
