    Hi everyone,

    I’m trying to set up real-time iPhone call notifications on my MagicMirror² display. I’ve set up a basic “PhoneCalls” module, that acts as an endpoint that can receive call information.

    What I already have working:

    • Module “listening”
    • Server endpoint running on port 8282
    • CSS styling for call display
    • Module configured to show caller name and duration
    • Backend ready to receive POST requests to /phone-call with this structure:
      {
      “deviceId”: “iphone1”,
      “status”: “started” or “ended”,
      “caller”: “Phone Number or Contact Name”
      }

    What I’m missing:
    A way to get my iPhone to send these call status updates to the endpoint. Has anyone successfully implemented this? I’m particularly interested in:

    1. Current methods for capturing iPhone call events
    2. Solutions for sending this data to the MagicMirror’s local endpoint
    3. Alternative modules or approaches if this isn’t the best way

    My setup:

    • MagicMirror²
    • iPhone (latest iOS)
    • Local network access between phone and mirror

    Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

      After extensive googling, it seems this isn’t possible (any longer). Damnit.
