Sending notifications from python to MM

@bream
Hi,
what are you trying to do with your buttons?

Here are some sample links for MMM-Remote-Control:

Change Pages (to use with MMM-Pages):
http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=PAGE_DECREMENT
http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=PAGE_INCREMENT

Some MM Basic Operations:
http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=REBOOT
http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=SHUTDOWN

Some Display Operations:
http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT80/remote?action=MONITORON
http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=MONITOROFF

Hope that helps.

Hi, thanks for replying. That’s helpful to see spelled out.

I’m trying to hide or show the newsfeed module at the moment and trying to figure out the url to do that.

Based on your post and what I can figure out from the MMM-Remote-Control readme, I’ve tried the following, but they don’t work
http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=HIDE&payload={%22name%22:%22newsfeed%22}
http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=HIDE&payload=NEWSFEED
http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=HIDE& notification=newsfeed

I’m obviously not interpreting the info in the readme correctly. Can you suggest a url that will hide the module?

The link has to look like:
http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=HIDE&module=module_7_newsfeed

You have to use the right module name, in my case it is “module_7_newsfeed”, you can find this out by opening your MM in your firefox browser and use F12 Button and check the HTML source, what the name of your newsfeed module is.

Hope this helps.

It does - the buttons work as required now. Thank you :)
So that looks like it’s the position of the module in the config file so it’ll remain static unless I change the config for some reason.
I really appreciate that. Thanks again.

And how to trigger an alert from python or bash (curl)?
Is possible to show an image in the alert popup?

@cyberdie
From python, the following will result in an alert

>>> import requests
>>> url = 'http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=SHOW_ALERT&title="This is the title"&message="And this is the message"'
>>> requests.get(url)

I can’t answer as to how you’d place an image within the alert though

Thanks @bream !
