Ideas Needed
-
@sdetweil I’m not following your point. I get it that I could do the GET from javascript instead of running a script, but the rest you might elaborate a bit more on :)
-
@MilkShake show me your script that is called when the action occurs
-
@sdetweil my whole point is, since the action happens on the google assistant I would need to do port forwards in my firewall to be able to call a LAN URL with a GET method. I guess it would be possible to catch the event locally on the mirror and then call the python script or do the GET method in some other manner, but I don’t know how to do that.
One option would be to just add a physical button to the raspberry pi and when pressed it runs the GET method. It just annoys me that you can make the assistant understand a command, but not utilize it locally on LAN.
-
@retroflex The mirror and the gate are on the same LAN. The assistant understands the “Open Gate” command and replies with “Ok, Opening the gate”, but if I were to use a Google Action to do the GET, it would come from the internet.
I don’t know how to catch the event locally on the mirror. If I did, I would just call the python script and the gate would open.

@MilkShake the actions run locally on the mirror, they are TRIGGERED from the module… not as callbacks I don’t think
(i haven’t done that myself, but it seemed logical before) the old recipe stuffyou just create a little script in maybe the new A2D but old assistant had it to to trigger events…
here is fiddling with the radio on the mirror

How I do URL calls in python is through urllib.request - import that library then:
urllib.request.urlopen("http://pi.hole:60001/remote?action=MONITORTOGGLE")Depends on how far outside you wanna go outside the MM ecosystem.
edit: reminds me, I gotta re-write that for the new config, pi-hole and the mirror being two different units now.
-
@BKeyport but u have to use a helper to launch the python code…
way overhead for a fetch or post -
@sdetweil True, if you’re staying in the MM ecosystem - in my case, I couldn’t get the modules I wanted to work the way I wanted, so I wrote up a python script to cover it, and it runs independently of MM
He wanted a python method, so I gave him options.

I went the way of dataplicity.io/wormhole, NGINX, IFTTT and MMM-NotificationTrigger. That way I should be able to use a webhook to execute the python script.

@Bugsounet Thanks Bugs! I will look into that when I have time for it.
