MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3 and MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call

@Jose1701 Dear Jose,
you are referring to my post but may I’m the wrong person.
You may ask the developer, @xIExodusIx, too.

As I’m not knowing exactly what your problem is, I just can guess what’s going on…
from configuration perspective I do not see an issue - mine is similar.
As I wrote before I only have ‘MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3’ in use, NOT ‘MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call’,

For ‘MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3’ I’m aware of some problems, but I do not know if this aligns with your problems.

do you have the right (actual) fork? in my case this was https://github.com/xIExodusIx/MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3.git
I’m not sure if this is correct: In your config a username is missing. As far as I’m aware of you have to use a username/password combination - therefore I remember that I had to create a separate user for using the module.
there were some requirements for the module - some python libraries as I remember correctly. - Do you have installed them in a proper version?

This is the “guessing” version.
If you could describe the “problem” more exact or concrete may we get other ideas…

Good luck!
Regards,
Ralf

Hi,

sorry for the late response but I was ill and laying in bed.

I will have a look. Actually I have the following “proofed”.

Yes, I’m using this one, too.

Well, until now I didn’t need more. Everything is working fine except the arrows and colours. But I will see if sth. is needed.

I think I have the right ones and up to date but I will have a look, too.

Thanks so far.

Kind regards

Jose

That was the reason. Don`t know it shows the calls without a password but not the arrows.

Now everything is working fine.

Thanks a greets

@xiexodusix - I set up my MagicMirror from scratch and now wanted to integrate the FRITZ-Callmonitor to it, unfortunately with no luck. No calls are displayed, the phonebook has non-stop rotating icon. In the docker logs (Yes, I’m using latest MagicMirrorOS with integrated Docker) I get the following error:

[2026-01-11 02:10:11.646] [ERROR] [app] Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...

As you can see, I have created username and password only for MM.

Starting fritzconnection from (host) commandline works, incomming calls are registered and shown in Terminal.

@Mathes75

probably python missing, see https://khassel.gitlab.io/magicmirror/faq/dependencies/#use-the-fat-image

You can change the image in the .env file.
