MMM-SmartWebDisplay : display web contents (including YouTube) on your MM

I have seen a few examples of people displaying Action-tiles URLs in the MM. The action-tiles team does not allow username and passwords to be passed in the URL, the user must login to Action-tiles and then can navigate directly to the URL. Is there a solution to this requirement within SmartWebDisplay?

@brotherbrown831
sorry but I don’t understand what you want to do, do you want to use a URL with a name and password on it ?
Or do you want to use a pop up to log in and then access a URL ?
You say “the action-tiles team”, what it this ? Do you have any documentation ?

Thanks for a bit more detail ;-)

@Newtothis @rafaelcota

You asked the compatibility with the module MMM-TelegramBot, and I finally took the time today to integrate it.

It is in “beta” so far, I must now write the documentation (really less fun that writing code :smiling_face_with_halo: )

The code is here : https://github.com/AgP42/MMM-SmartWebDisplay/tree/beta, if you could test and let me know your feedback it will be very appreciated !!

The commands are (still time to change them if you don’t like thoses ones…) :
/swd_next
/swd_prev
/swd_play
/swd_pause
/swd_stop
/swd_url (then the url you want to display on your MagicMirror)
for example “/swd_url http://magicmirror.builders/”

for the URL I didn’t give the possibility to send a list, but could be improved.

Thanks for your feedback !

Hello,

I finalize the version, it is now available for everyone !

To update (as every module) :

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-SmartWebDisplay
git pull

Enjoy ;-)

Hi @Alain,

first please remove all your apikey on your post before :winking_face:

I see that you also use the MMM-PIR-sensor module, with a delay of 100s, this is probably the root cause of the strange behavior that you saw.

Let me explains you my analysis :

Here is how this sensor work (Source) :
PIR

The delay of detection or non-detection as to be set directly on the sensor !

So your sensor will sent to the module “MMM-PIR-Sensor” 2 possible states “HIGH” (presence) or “LOW” (no presence).

Each time the MMM-PIR-Sensor will receive a modification of the sensor status, it will sent immediately (to everyone, so to MMM-SmartWebDisplay too) a notification saying “USER_PRESENCE=true” or false.

Developer Notes (MMM-PIR-Sensor)

This module broadcasts a USER_PRESENCE notification with the payload beeing true or false you can use it to pause or disable your module.

The “powerSavingDelay” is applied after this notification is sent to everyone.

And my module “MMM-SmartWebDisplay” use this notification to stop and restart the update timer.

So by setting 100s of delay on the MMM-PIR-Sensor module, it probably totally mix up all the update timer management of my module. :loudly_crying_face:

A small example :

Nobody in front of the mirror for long time, so Mirror is off
you arrives close to the Mirror, that activate the PIR sensor, the Mirror wakes up and MMM-SmartWebDisplay also wakes up, update the html page to display and set a new refresh in 1 min (because you configure it with 1min)
your sensor doesn’t detects you anymore : during 100s, so 1min40s your Mirror will stay ON without any notification (because you desactivate “powerSavingNotification”), but MMM-SmartWebDisplay (and all other modules) received the notification “USER_PRESENCE=false”, so MMM-SmartWebDisplay stops the update of the html page.
if your sensor detects you again during this 100s, then you should see the update of the html (directly when the sensor will send the info to the Mirror) --> Do you confirm this ?

So for me your problem is on the adjustment of your PIR sensor and the value you set for this module configuration. You can follow this very good page to adjust correctly your sensor : PIR sensor

Personally I adjust the detection delay on the sensor itself and I just set 10s of “powerSavingDelay” after a notification (powerSavingNotification: true).

I hope my explaination was clear enough !

Good luck and let me know if you still face issues,

Bye

@brotherbrown831
Sure. What one does is create an actiontiles panel that they want displayed. Then copy the URL that points directly at the panel. This URL must use the http:// prefix in the address and cannot start with just panel.actiontiles.com/
Then turn the refresh setting within the config.js settings to 0
(for no refresh)
The first time that MMM-SmartWebDisplay loads the page/actiontiles panel one will be prompted to log on. Use your credentials to log on. They will be saved by the browser that is running your MagicMirror instance.

Then in the future MMM-SmartWebDisplay will just display the panel itself without the need to log on each time. So there is no need to pass the username and password “within” the URL address. There is a caveat. If you panel contains camera feeds (live Video or Still Image) your camera tile within the panel “may” need logon details like username and password to display. These will not work as username and password cannot be “passed” within the
URL string and be processed.
Just create a panel without the camera streams to be displayed.

Hello everyone, I have 2 instances of the module MMM-SmartWebDisplay running. This works well.

I also use MMM-Pages to rotate contents of the screen. I would also like to rotate one instance of the module MMM-SmartWebDisplay against one with another module. But how do I address it if I have 2 instances? Both instances have the same module name and are only different in size, position and content.

hello,

Rename the folder MMM-SmartWebDisplay2…then the MMM-SmartWebDisplay2.js and inside Module.register(“MMM-SmartWebDisplay2” like this

and call MMM-SmartWebDisplay on page 1 and MMM-SmartWebDisplay2 on page 2
