MMM-HomeKit | Control your MagicMirror with Apple HomeKit

Okay, looks like something with my npm was broken. It was working before, so I think installing this module or Homebridge did it. Attempting to fix.

Excellent module!

Hello ! Thank you for that compliment.
Unfortunately, I don’t know where your problem comes from. What is the command you are executing that gives you this error?
Keep me informed :wink:

My Homebridge is at another Pi then the Mirror. How I have to use it?

Caimin

@Niggich Making connection to the other pi through ssh to send commands? Or if your using a module which allows to give commands through a url u can use curl… In this example I use both…

 {
       "name" : "Magic Mirror",
       "on_cmd": "curl -s 'http://192.168.X.XX:8080/remote?action=MONITORON'",
       "off_cmd": "curl -s 'http://192.168.X.XX:8080/remote?action=MONITOROFF'",
       "state_cmd": "sshpass -p 'sshpassword' ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no pi@192.168.X.XX vcgencmd display_power | grep -q '1' && echo '1'",
       "polling": true,
       "interval": 10,
       "manufacturer": "XXX",
       "model": "v 1.0.0"
   }

You might need to install sshpass: apt-get install sshpass, which allows you to connect through ssh with password without being prompted on the command line for the password.

@Caimin Thank you a lot. It is working like this. I install sshpass to send the Commands via ssh.

Hi!

I need a little help setting it up…
When turning on the mirror in the HomeKit App I get the following log:

[2020-3-29 22:26:16] [Raspberry Pi] Mirror is off.
[2020-3-29 22:26:17] [Raspberry Pi] Failed to turn on Mirror
[2020-3-29 22:26:17] [Raspberry Pi] 
Als het goed is hebt u de gebruikelijke informatie ontvangen van uw
systeembeheerder. Gewoonlijk komt het neer op de volgende drie punten:

    1. Respecteer de privacy van anderen.
    2. Denk na voordat u iets doet.
    3. Veel mogelijkheden betekent veel verantwoordelijkheid.

sudo: geen terminal aanwezig en geen wachtwoordvraag(askpass)-programma opgegeven

sudo: no terminal available and no  passwordask(askpass) programs gave up.

If anyone knows a solution, would be appreciated!

After much googling, the answer is here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21659637/how-to-fix-sudo-no-tty-present-and-no-askpass-program-specified-error

and in particular this comment

username ALL = NOPASSWD: /fullpath/to/command, /fullpath/to/othercommand

In my setup I created a file called /etc/sudoers.d/010_cmdswitch2
And the file contains

homebrid ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/chvt

chvt is the command I need to run, and homebrid is the account I use to run my homebridge with
