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

@xIExodusIx Dear Carsten, this is awesome!
Thanks a LOT!
Currently - in my installation - the Info Box which is signalling the call is not a „message-box“ and disappears when call is ended.
Did you modify this -then I would hesitate to install newest version…
Thanks a lot for your effort!
Warmest regards,
Ralf -

Thanks a lot for your effort!Hi Ralf,
I did not change the appearance of the message-box, in the module it is an alert, I only tried to let it disappear right when you answer the incomming call, because on my MM2 the message box blurres the background and I can not clearly see all other modules and the “MMM-Current-Call” module, that also shows me if the current call is incomming or outgoing, but now the message box disappears when the incomming call is answered.
The MMM-Current-Call" module makes only sense if you have more then one telephon-line, so you can see how many people are talking right now, and if the calls are incomming or outgoing.Hope that will help you to decide.
Regards
Carsten -
@xIExodusIx Thanks again, this helps!

I played a little bit around with the colors and changed also the appearance of missed calls, the missed calls now will be displayed in color “magenta” with a “star”. You can edit the colors by yourself by editing the “MMM-Fritz-Box-Callmonitor-py3.js” file, you can’t miss these entrys.
I also edited the README.md file again.
I will push these changes to github at my next update, but I have to test a little bit more because I have to wait for the unwanted calls that are in my blocked “phonenumber range list”, and I don’t know when these unwanted calls are incomming.
But hopefully I got most of the annoying problems under control. :-)Regards
Carsten -
@xIExodusIx It’s good practise to keep style information not in the *.js code but in the CSS file of module - than everybody can make persistent changes to style related issues in custom.css which will not been overwritten by module updates…
Warm regards,
Ralf -
Yes, I know, but I don’t know how to transfer this code-lines to the .css file, the code for appaerance and color were in the module.js file before I began to try to get it work. I only modified them.
The last two problems I have with the module is, to show the correct number in the callist, not “sip:myown number”, when an incomming call is blocket by the “number range list” and to hide the alert of these calls.
On these problems I still work.

@xIExodusIx Dear Carsten,
quick feedback for you: Just installed your newest version.
And - to my big surprise - it works like I would like to have…
I only have installed "MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3 " - to be 100% clear, may there is the difference.
But with only this module incoming calls are displayed/signalled (grey’ish / white color) and the message box disappears either when the call is taken or if the caller hangs up.
This exactly is what I would like to have.
You definitely have done something magical because the initial code holds the message box until call is ended.
THANKS!!!You ARE a coder :-)
Warmest greetings to Hamburg (as your git-account now reveals),
RalfFor the CSS stuff - my apologies…
I cannot guide here, as well. I’ve seen your color coding in dependency from call-type.
I GUESS you can solve this with case-dependent CSS-attributes and so avoid the complete “switch”-clause.
But this is far beyond my own capabilities - may Sam (@sdetweil ) can lead through this… -
Hi,
I`m new to magicmirror and I like the CallMonitor a lot.
Everthing works fine for me except the arrows and colours. I installed MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3 and MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call. I put the necessary information in the conifg as ou can see:
{ module: 'MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call', position: 'top_right', // This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions. config: { showDirection: "true", colorEnabled: "true", } }, { module: 'MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3', position: 'bottom_right', // This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions. header: "Letzte Anrufe", // This is optional config: { // See 'Configuration options' for more information. showContactsStatus: "true", fritzIP: "192.168.178.1", showContactsStatus: "true", maximumCallDistance: "240", maximumCalls: "4", reloadContactsInterval: "1", showOutgoing: "true", colorEnabled: "true", password: "******", } },An idea what am I doing wrong?

@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,

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

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... [2026-01-11 02:10:11.684] [ERROR] [app] Error: spawn python3 ENOENT at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:285:19) at onErrorNT (node:internal/child_process:483:16) at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:90:21) { errno: -2, code: 'ENOENT', syscall: 'spawn python3', path: 'python3', spawnargs: [ '/opt/magic_mirror/modules/MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3/fritz_access.py', '-i', '192.168.0.1', '-p', '*********', '-u', 'magicmirror' ] } [2026-01-11 02:10:11.686] [ERROR] [app] MagicMirror² will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?As you can see, I have created username and password only for MM.
Starting
fritzconnectionfrom (host) commandline works, incomming calls are registered and shown in Terminal. -
probably python missing, see https://khassel.gitlab.io/magicmirror/faq/dependencies/#use-the-fat-image
You can change the image in the
.envfile. -
@karsten13 to get this right: Using the fat image would have at least python on board. And to get everything to work I would need to add a script, adding the dependencies for MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3:
Execute
npm installto install the dependencies.
(Optional) Executesudo apt-get install python3-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev && sudo pip install --break-system-packages fritzconnectionto allow access to your FRITZ!Box phone book and recent calls. This can take a few minutes.Will definitely give it a try!

Hello @karsten13,
I have changed the docker image to fat in .env file. Unfortunately, after pulling the docker image, the script stopped with error: No such container: 1b169eacdb711[~35 more numbers/letters].
Magic Mirror stopped working :( What did I do wrong? -

@karsten13
Sorry for being that unspecific.

looks like there is an old container but no idea why docker is unable to remove it.
You can try
cd /opt/mm/run docker compose down docker rm -f $(docker ps -aq) docker compose up -d -
@karsten13
Doesn´t look good. I’m too noob about Docker to really understand what’s going on:pi@magicmirrorMB:~ $ cd /opt/mm/run/ pi@magicmirrorMB:/opt/mm/run $ docker compose down [+] down 1/1 ✔ Container 1b169eacdb71 Removed 0.0s pi@magicmirrorMB:/opt/mm/run $ docker rm -f $(docker ps -aq) Error response from daemon: No such container: 1b169eacdb71 pi@magicmirrorMB:/opt/mm/run $ docker compose up -d WARN[0000] No services to build [+] up 2/2 ✔ Network magicmirror_default Created 0.2s ✔ Container mm Created 0.9sAfter last line just nothing happens. No prompt, no display on mirror.
Can I check where the strange container is called or where the reference is? -
show
docker ps -a.From the logs it looks like the strange container was deleted but I see no
labwccontainer.
