Hi,

I’m interested this and have just set it up on another pi. I am very interested in getting on my mm!

Shall I wait for the module or how did you get it via Smart Web Display?

I’m a beginner.

@lmhmm - The key difference will be, IMHO, which data you want to display. If you want to display the chart from the first post from your own BirdNET-Pi installation, then go with the smart web display. My module will display everyone’s BirdNET hits around you, not just your own.

@thgmirror can probably walk you through setting up the smart web display.

Okay, version 0.1.0 is ready. I think. Give it a go and let me know if you encounter any problems.

Currently, I’m using an RPI4 with BirdNET-Pi outside in the garden and an RPI3b as MM2. Both are in the same WIFI-net. Best is to use the standard-installation of BirdNET-Pi and to use the recommended names.

install MMM-EasyPix at MM2
add MMM-EasyPix to your config.js with birdnet.png as the name of the picture
add the following code to a file called
makedownloadbirdnet.py at the root-folder of MM2
sudo nano makedownloadbirdnet.py

#!/usr/bin/python
# coding:utf-8
#
import os
import urllib.request
import datetime

current_date = datetime.date.today()

url = "http://birdnetpi.local/Charts/Combo-"  + str(current_date) + ".png"
nix = "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/keinbild.png"
out = "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-EasyPix/pix/birdnet.png"

# Prüfen, ob es bereits eine Datei out im Verzeichnis gibt
if os.path.exists(out):
#   alte Datei löschen
    os.remove(out)

# Herunterladen der Datei
try:
    urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, out)
except:
    os.system(f'cp "{nix}" "{out}"')

Create a small picture with a hint, that a chart is not available, name it keinbild.png and store it in the modules-folder at MM2.
Create a cronjob at MM2:

* * * * sudo python3 makedownloadbirdnet.py

@thgmirror Blimey that’s a comprehensive answer!

I’ll have to go my homework. I appreciate your comprehensive reply.

Many thanks,

@thgmirror - Sorry about that. Somehow, the repository was marked private. I’ve fixed it and it should work for you now.

lmhmm

@bhepler hello, I’ve successfully installed your module MMM-BirdNET and set the map to terrain and my Co ordinates etc.

So while I get up a nice map, there don’t seem to be any stations or dots showing at all. Just a map.

Also there’s no activity, just a map shows and nothing else.

Can you advise?

Lorraine

bhepler

@lmhmm - Absolutely. Let’s get you fixed up. Could you please post the relevant portion of your config.js? I want to try it on my test system and see if I can duplicate your problem.

lmhmm

@bhepler Hello Brian,

Please see the map and config. I have updated the module also and my mirror is up to date 2.24

Lorraine

Err not sure how to add the pictures?

lmhmm

@bheplerOkay here we go:

Config:

module: "MMM-BirdNET position:
"top_center
config: {
lat: 54.6633, lon: -3.3680, updateInterval: 3600000, popInterval:
30000,
dataUrl: “https://birdnet. cornell.edu/map/requeststats/” mapMode:
“terrain”
markercolor: “Light Blue” markerDistance: 300, //width:
“100px”
//height:
“100px”
zoomLevel: 7, //mapurl:
null,

@bhepler

I hope that means the photo is up too!

@lmhmm

Hi just wondered if you’d worked out why I’ve got no stations or feed just a map?

Thanks,

Lorraine

@lmhmm Your config looks weird. You missing a bunch of commas.
Also, I think you may be getting the following error in the Developers Console (ctrl+shift+i). You can filter on MMM-BirdNET and see if you see the below error.

@lmhmm Also, check the dataUrl that you have. I changed it to the one in the module Github and then it worked fine.

bhepler

@lmhmm - My apologies for the delay in responding. I’ve been out of the country for the past couple of weeks. I’ll get to your issue this weekend.

bhepler

Hmm. It appears that the BirdNET website is down at the present time. There’s not much I can do about that. Which is weird, as it was definitely working yesterday and earlier today.

As soon as it comes up, I’ll troubleshoot the config that @lmhmm posted.

lmhmm

@bhepler

So maybe I’ve got the wrong url? Can you advise the correct one? I thought I’d copied it direct? The code is my phone’s interpretation from a picture. There are no config errors as my mirror runs okays. It seems it’s maybe the url.

Please advise,

Thank you, I really appreciate your help,

Lorraine
