MMM-BirdNET

bhepler

MMM-BirdNET is a module to display nearby submissions to the BirdNET project at Cornell University. BirdNET is a machine learning algorithm that identifies birds by their song. Anyone can download their free app for their smartphone and submit samples for identification.

This module plots submissions within the previous 24 hours on a map. Additionally, it will randomly select a submission and display what type of bird the machine thinks made the song.

@thgmirror - FIxed. The repository was set to private for some reason.

I added the module, but nothing is displaying on my MM. Here is my config, I am using MMM-Pages for my MM (hence ‘classes’ being specified.

Using the dev console in my browser, looks like I am seeing 404 errors in trying to reach the destination:

Any ideas?

@bhepler
Disregard, it started connecting and is working great!

@BerkSmash1984 Glad to hear it! Thank you for the thorough bug reporting.

@bhepler No problem. Awesome module! Thank you for creating it!

This is very cool, and something I’ve been wondering about. I just backed the Birdweather PUC on Kickstarter ad was wondering about a module to alert about a bird from the PUC or my own BirdNet-Pi. Could this be modified to monitor just my own station and alert when a bird is detected?

@mitm
You can display the chart of your BirdNet-Pi as a picture with a MM-module, see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/17955/birdnet-pi-chart-on-mm2?page=1

@thgmirror I saw that! I’m a rank beginner in this, but I don’t want the chart. I’m looking for a pop up “There’s a Western Bluebird somewhere outside” sort of thing that frees only to my BirdNet account. If it could sort by birds unseen in comparison to an eBird list, that would be even better, but I think I may have to learn to make something like that myself.

@mitm - Looking at the Birdweather PUC page, it looks like it should be possible. The Birdweather website is able to sort the submissions by station, so I should be able to duplicate that and pull submissions for a given source. I’ll investigate after I get this popup panning thing resolved.

@bhepler That’s appreciated! This magic mirror is my self-imposed intro to all things computer science, so I have no actual programming skill, but I’d happily help you out as I can!

Update! Version 1.1.1 has been released.

V1.1.1

Added an option to introduce a delay between the popups. During the delay period the map will fly back to the origin lat/lon and wait for the designated period.
