    @Sean
    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
    pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo npm start
    
    > magicmirror@2.7.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror

    My config.js is here:

    {
        			module: 'MMM-OnScreenMenu',
        			position: 'bottom_right',
    		},
    		{
      			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,
    Scott

      @smackenzie5 said in [Guide] Control MM via Google Home:

      {
      “sender”:{
      “name”:“IFTTT”
      },
      “notification”:“ONSCREENMENU_PROCESS_ACTION”,
      “payload”:{actionName: ‘monitorOff’
      }
      }

      JSON syntax is somehow strict than usual JS convention.

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

      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,
        Scott

          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

              @smackenzie5
              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?

                    Also if i were using MMM-Remote-Control besides MMM-OnScreenMenu, how would it work?

                      @Sean So i followed all the steps and looked at the conversation you had with smackenzie, but i still cant get my monitor to turn off, here my
                      config.js

                          {
                          			module: 'MMM-OnScreenMenu',
                          			position: 'bottom_right',
                      		},
                          {
                          module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
                          config: {
                            useWebhook: true,
                            triggers: [
                              {
                                trigger: "MONITOR_OFF_FROM_IFTTT",
                                fires: [
                                  {
                                    fire: "ONSCREENMENU_PROCESS_ACTION",
                                    payload: {"actionName": "monitorOff"}
                                  }
                                ]
                              }
                            ]
                          }
                          },
                      
                      

                      IFTTT request

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

                      and here the log when i say Magic (the keyword)

                      reqpost? { notification: 'MONITOR_OFF_FROM_IFTTT', payload: null }
