Show SMS text message on Mirror

hawkesley

@broberg Thanks for that. I did see the module, but as I understand it this will just notify that there is a message , rather than display it?
The intended use I have is to display the message because the viewer may not be able to use a mobile phone.
I can send the message to my website and maybe forward it to the mirror from there perhaps using the wordpress api. This is much more complicated though.

@hawkesley reading the readme file tells you that you can set displayMessage to true, ie display the message is possible. Install it and try it. Eitherway you need some app like pushbullet to forward the sms text to other devices.

@broberg Ok. Will do if pushB is available for iphone.
Also just discovered MM-syslog which looks promising if it can use an http get i guess?

broberg

https://www.pushbullet.com, yes works with ios.

The syslog module works simply enough via http get,

hawkesley

Thanks will try both.

@hawkesley
Trying MMM-syslog but cant get access.
This device is not allowed to access your mirror.
Please check your config.js or config.js.sample to change this.
I modified the whitelist as follows :e-mail:

port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["::fff:0.0.0.0/1", "::fff:128.0.0.0/2", "::fff:192.0.0.0/3", "::fff:224.0.0.0/4", "127.0.0.1", "::ffff:192.168.1.1/24", "::ffff:192.168.1.109","::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],

The http is : http://192.168.1.112:8080/syslog?type=normal&message=Test Message
Any thoughts appreciated.

@hawkesley did you insert exactly what was showing in the error to the whitelist?

To test, if MMM-syslog suits your requirements you could simply set ipWhitelist: [], which will allow all connections. In addition you might want to check this thread. In your case you could try to add "192.168.1.1/24" to support IPv4

@yawns Thanks, will look at that.
In reply to strawberry I inserted this “::ffff:192.168.1.109”,
Access denied on CLI was 192.168.1.109

@hawkesley Hi,
I tested ipW [] and that worked for MMM-syslog.
I changed the ipW as suggested with “192.168.1.1/24” and that also works.
So, thanks very much both.
My remaining question is if I can send the message to MMM-syslog from outside my local network with this ipW?
I will try later today.
