MMM-HomeKit | Control your MagicMirror with Apple HomeKit

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

Just installed homekit and its great… i can now have the mirror switch off when i say goodnight using shortcuts, i also have it set to turn off when im not there and switch on when i get home!

next step is to get it to switch on my playstation on voice! :)

Hello,
I am trying to setup a Mirror and make it work with homekit. I’m very unexperienced with coding and basically everything here :)
I followed the instructions and get the following error.
I would appreciate your help a lot!
Thank you in advance:

@fragler
FYI, this non-module is a piece of abandonware.

Looks like you’ve got two devices using the same ID.

Do you have homebridge on your network already?

https://homebridge.io/ is the underlying software, and has moved past what this module had supported. I personally went to a smart plug instead. There’s too many problems with this module to set it up. Took me a solid 3 weeks of debugging to get this to work part of the time.

@BKeyport Yes I have homebridge online and running. But there is no other device I’m using with homebridge.

Okay if this module does not work well, then that’s another story.
The problem with the smart plug is that when I turn off the monitor (i.e. kill power) and turn power on again, I need to turn the monitor on with a button as well. So if I were to use a smart plug I could turn on power for the monitor but would still have to press a button :/
That’s why I thought this would be a great solution with this module…
But thank you all so much for your quick replies!!
