MMM-Fritz-Box-Callmonitor: Notification formatting

[Jan 0]

Thanks @coernel
Here is the fork and the development branch: https://github.com/drtorchwood/MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3/tree/code_update_2023

@Jan-0 I will have a look tomorrow!

I tried to install it but the MagicMirror stays blank after that. I noticed that you don’t use a pyhton-3 shebang in your Python file. Could this be the cause? I will try later to add that!

This is my config:

{
			module: 'MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3',
			position: 'bottom_left',	// This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.
			header: "Verpasste Anrufe", // This is optional
			config: {
				username: "foo",
				password: "bar",
				reloadContactsInterval: 24*60,
			}
		},

@coernel Perhaps, my renaming of the module is the problem. On my computer, the module is stilled named “MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor”. I only renamed it for the branch.
I will check this in the next days.
Does python3 fritz-access.py -u '<username>' -p '<password>' work?

@Jan-0 if you rename a module, you have to rename the folder and the filename AND EDIT the file and change it’s register clause w the right name.

modulename - folder
modulename.js
edit modulename.js and change 1 line of code

[coernel]

After changing some lines as suggested by sdetweil the MagicMirror loads again.

@Jan-0 said in MMM-Fritz-Box-Callmonitor: Notification formatting:

python3 fritz-access.py -u ‘’ -p ‘’

The filename is fritz_access.py. So after executing it I got

 print json.dumps({"filename": file, "content": content})
          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This was easily solded by changing it to print (json.dumps({"filename": file, "content": content})) (Just adding round brackets) - that was a change from Python2 to Python3.

However it was followed by the next error urllib2 does not work in Python 3. According to stackoverflow urllib.error and urllib.request must be used for Python3.

Are you sure you uploaded the right code to github? It seems you accidentally uploaded th old python2 code!

Additional to the wrong rename the fritz_access.py had the mentioned wrong urllib2 imports. I fixed the python script and the import of the PythonShell module in node_helper.js.

I created a pull request a few seconds ago.

I uploaded my changes in the branch code_update_2023 and did not pullit to the master of the fork.
I will have a look at the pull requests tomorrow.

@wishmaster270 This is great.
I can confirm that executing fritz_acces.py with username and password now works! It results in some structured data:

<Call><Id>4373</Id><Type>3</Type><Called>0123456789</Called><Caller>SIP: 9328727</Caller><CallerNumber>54321</CallerNumber><Name>Some fancy Name</Name><Numbertype>sip</Numbertype><Device>Tardis</Device><Port>13</Port><Date>03.09.22 12:55</Date><Duration>0:02</Duration><Count></Count><Path /></Call>

I also get the module to show however it does not show active nor missed calls. It just shows “no call”, the spinner and the phonebook.

I used this config:

			module: 'MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3',
			position: 'bottom_left',
			header: "Verpasste Anrufe", 
			config: {
				username: "foo",
				password: "bar",
				reloadContactsInterval: 24*60,
				minimumCallLength: 0,
				showContactsStatus: true,
				maximumCallDistance: 60*6,
				maximumCalls: 4,
				fade: false,
				debug: true,
			}
		},

So I guess the communication between the js and the py is faulty.

I would like to help you with your formatting though in the end…

@coernel
The pythons script is only responsible to fetch the call history and the phonebook of the fritz box. The call notification is handled by java script.
So should see a alter containing the (wrong formatted) phone number for each incoming call.

Are you sure you activated the call notification on your fritz box by dialing

#96*5*

with a phone connected to the box (DECT phone works as well).

Edit:
I do not think the formatting problem is related to this module. As of the documentation of the alert module it should be possible to send either simple text or html formatted text.
As a debug test i tried to send html formatted text with one of my other modules which ends in the same problem
