      I’m having trouble with Step 2 - Installing nginx.

      I was able to follow Step 1 and have a wormhole URL from Dataplicity. However, I get the following error messages when running the line “sudo apt-get install nginx”

      I tried continuing with the other lines but just got error messages that the files were missing.

      Thoughts?

      Thanks,

        Hmmm. Sometimes, Repositories could not be reached by accident. (Due to Network problem, DNS mismatch, Server maintenance, or any other reasons. Who knows.) Try again later.

        Before that; try this;

        sudo apt-get update
        suod apt-get upgrade

          Can you read through the code below and determine where the error is?

          First, updating like you said did the trick. After updating/upgrading I was able to download everything and complete Step 2. Went on to complete Steps 3 & 4 and the IFTTT test worked.

          Now, I’m trying to use the format of your test code and rewrite it to turn my monitor off using OnScreenMenu. I get the following error message:

          pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd MagicMirror

            			module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
            			config: {
          			    useWebhook:true,
          			    triggers:[
          			      {
           		       		trigger: "ONSCREENMENU_PROCESS_ACTION",
           		       		fires: [
           		       		  {
           		           		fire:"notificationReceived",
           		           		payload: (payload) => {return payload}
          		        	  },
          		        	       ],
          			      },
          			]
          			}
          		},
          

          My IFTTT is here:

          {
           "sender":{
            "name":"IFTTT"
           },
           "notification":"ONSCREENMENU_PROCESS_ACTION",
           "payload":{actionName: 'monitorOff'
           }
          }
          

          Thoughts?

          Thanks,

            }

            JSON syntax is somehow strict than usual JS convention.

            {
              "sender":{
                "name":"IFTTT"
              },

              }
            }
            

            will work. you have failed/missed on using double-quotation marks.

              Thanks - that fixed the error message however it still doesn’t turn the monitor off.
              I’m not sure what else to look at now. Below is what I’m seeing but with no error message, kind of hard to tell what to work on.

              I’m considering installing Remote-Control and seeing if I can get that to work unless you’ve got another thought.

              Thanks,

                I don’t know anything about OnScreenMenu. Have you any link to inspect?
                I think your “fire” would be wrong. “NotificationReceived” is not usual type of notification conventions. Anyway if i see how Onscreenmenu works I may tell you more.

                  OnScreenMenu is one of the 3rd Party modules here:
                  https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-OnScreenMenu

                  I used notificationReceived because it was similar to your example of SHOW_ALERT.
                  From alert.js - show_alert: function(params, sender) {
                  From MMM-NotificationTrigger.js - notificationReceived: function (notification, payload, sender) {
                  Maybe not correct but that’s why I did it.

                  Here’s where I got the example used for the content of notification and payload:
                  https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-AlexaOnOff/blob/master/README.md
                  Again, maybe not correct but that’s why I did it.

                  {
                      module: 'MMM-OnScreenMenu',
                      position: 'bottom_right',
                  },
                  {
                      module: 'MMM-AlexaOnOff',
                      config: {
                          devices: [{ 
                                name: "Magic Mirror",
                                on: { 
                                  notification: "ONSCREENMENU_PROCESS_ACTION",
                                  payload: { actionName:'monitorOn' }
                                },
                                off: { 
                                  notification: "ONSCREENMENU_PROCESS_ACTION",
                                  payload: { actionName:'monitorOff' }
                                },
                          }]
                      }
                  }
                  

                  Thoughts?

                  Thanks,
                  Scott

                    As far as I read OnScreenMenu module,
                    it needs notification like this;

                    • notification : ONSCREENMENU_PROCESS_ACTION
                    • payload:
                      • “actionName” : “monitorOn”

                    So you can make your IFTTT & NotificationTrigger recipe like this;
                    IFTTT recipe

                    {
                      "notification": "MONITOR_ON_FROM_IFTTT",
                      "payload": null
                    }
                    

                    MMM-NotificationTrigger

                    module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
                    config: {
                      useWebhook: true,
                      triggers: [
                        {
                          trigger: "MONITOR_ON_FROM_IFTTT",
                          fires: [
                            {
                              fire: "ONSCREENMENU_PROCESS_ACTION",
                              payload: {"actionName": "monitorOn"}
                            }
                          ]
                        }
                      ]
                    }
                    

                    I didn’t test those codes on real machine so there could be some syntax error, but I believe you can understand the concept

                      You sir, are a freakin’ genius - it works perfectly.
                      Thanks again for all the effort.

                        @Sean If possible could you give an example of how our config file should look like if we wanted to use the google home to turn on and off the monitor?
