I like the MMM-door-sensor module, and I see that it uses notificationReceived to change the icon, but how do you send a notification to the module? I have tried this.sendNotification but I cannot seem to get it to work…

@SurfingCA IIRC MMM-Podcast works together with MMM-Button which enables you to use a hardware button to start playing the video/podcast. So you can either (1) use this OR (2) emulate its behaviour using MMM-RemoteControl. (1) is properly documented I guess. For (2) you have to send the exact notification MMM-Button would have sent. By looking through source code, you’ll see that it is BUTTON_PRESSED (with a payload of true, which gets ignored in MMM-Podcast anyway). So, you should be able to use http://ip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=BUTTON_PRESSED to activate MMM-Podcast to play the video. Note: obviously you have to replace ip with the correct IP and you have to remove the whitespace between & and notification which I had to insert to prevent & and not to get converted to ¬ on this board.

Thx, for support

@hulkhaugen No but you could implement your own module based on the MMM-PIR-Sensor one that sends notifications to MMM-ProfileSwitcher instead of directly driving the HDMI output state.

I think Netflix API would be ok too: https://www.programmableweb.com/api/netflix https://www.programmableweb.com/category/video

@strawberry-3.141 Just to repeat my thanks for sending me this. I installed it a couple of weeks ago and I’m very pleased with it. Highly recommended for people who like unusual words in the English language.

@JackONeill12 I’m doing a module you might be interested in. MMM-Rocketlaunch John K

@Klizzy Pleas read this topic – > https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/2259/formatting-the-mmm-efa-module/3 May be could you help … Gesetz, Sandy2503

Hi folks, I am using Netdata to monitor all my Raspberry PIs at home. I would like to use my Magic Mirror to show certain performance figures or alarms/warnings Netdata provides. Maybe someone also likes the idea and spends some time writing a module?

Someone there wo can make a volumio plugin? showing current song information?

@reneSwiss do note chrome and chromium is not exatly the same however. Most normal browsers have a built in viewer for pdf, but if you are trying to display it on MM2 that is made on electron that uses chromium I’m fairly certain it doesn’t display pdf documents. Byt I could be wrong, can’t test it since I’m not at home. Edit, looks like electron 1.6.4 and above have support for pdf viewing. https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v1.6.4

@strawberry-3.141 In the beginning I filled up the Trainer.jason with my own vocabularys and translations and it worked fine.After that I adapted the config. file, which was easier for me as I thougt. Since then the modul gets the phrases with the translation from the website, and one by one is displayed on your mirror. Absolut amazing! So guys out there I recommand this modul highly, try it, adapt it to your needs and you’ll love it. It works like a charm :thumbsup: One more time >Thank you @strawberry-3-141 :trophy:

Second request. I’d like my mirror to display every day an English word, with its translation into my chosen foreign language. Thanks

I’ve hacked away at pretty much every module in order to tailor my display to my liking. While there’s a lot you can do with CSS, you’re limited when everything is laid out with tables, so I’ve found I’ve needed to change the markup in most modules. It would be nice if the modules abstracted the HTML out into a separate template file so that whenever I update a module, I don’t need to do a whole lot of reverse engineering to recreate my changes. Even better would be if you could specify an alternative template file in the module’s config. Then any subsequent update would not overwrite your customizations. I understand this would be a significant upgrade to the current code base, but maybe something to think about for a v3 of MagicMirror. -Jeff

@cowboysdude That looks great :)

Wow… :thumbsup_tone2: Thank you for that so far. I will test it tonight and report again.

or maybe you integrate “http://pushover.net/” this is independent from device or platform maybe this helps: https://github.com/SamDecrock/node-pushover
