Ok so i got it to work with MMM-Remote-Control, So now i am wondering how can you have multiple commands, like send multiple notifications to for ex. turn on and off the monitor? Any ideas? @Sean

Hi, Thanks for the guide. I got it working as IFTTT actually sends a webrequest to my mirror. I am having trouble with the syntax of NotificationTrigger. I already use that module to turn on my Mirror if my gate button is pushed and display an alert.

I would like to execute a script when the trigger OPEN_GATE is received. Here is my current config:

{
module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
      config: {
          triggers:[
          {
            trigger: "PLAY_SOUND",
            fires: [
              {
                fire:"USER_PRESENCE",
                payload: function(payload) {
                  return false

                }
              },

              {
                fire:"SHOW_ALERT",
                payload: function(payload) {
                  return {
                    type: "notification",
                    title: "Porten",
                    message: "Der er nogen ved porten!"
                    }
                },
              }
            ],
          },

        ]
      }
},

Can anyone help with the syntax to add a trigger for “OPEN_GATE” notification that fires a script?

@MilkShake
Got it to work using:

{
   module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
   config: {
     useWebhook:true,
	 triggers:[
	   {
	      trigger: "PLAY_SOUND",
		  fires: [
		    {
			fire: "USER_PRESENCE",
			payload: function(payload) {
                  return false
                }
			}
		  
	   ]
	 },
	 {
	    trigger: "OPEN_GATE",
		fires: [
		   {
		   fire: "OPENING_THE_GATE",
		   exec: "sudo python /home/pi/open_gate.py"
		   }
		]
	 },
   ]
  }
},

Hi guys,
thanks for the great guide @sean.
I am currently using it with MMM-Carousel w/ Slide Navigation and it works fine.
I am struggling to execute a command for another project. https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/123787-raspberry-pi-powered-surveillance-camera-monitoring-display
The command is /etc/init.d/displaycameras {start|stop|repair}.
How can I execute the command via webhook?
I would be delighted to hear from you.
With kind regards
mopedmann
