      Ok, finally I found the right module. So the remote module in MagicMirror (MMM-Remote-Control), and then ‘rest_command:’ setup in HA.
      That way the motionsensor can turn the screen on and off in the mirror. For now I’ve made it simple with just defining four commands, two for on / off and two for dim / undim. And then just use those services in HA automations.
      Works perfectly.
      Now I need to turn some modules on and off depending on the time of day.

      The HA commands:

      rest_command:
        turn_off_mm_screen:
          url: http://IP:8080/api/monitor/off
        turn_on_mm_screen:
          url: http://IP:8080/api/monitor/on
        dim_mm_screen:
          url: http://IP:8080/api/brightness/75
        undim_mm_screen:
          url: http://IP:8080/api/brightness/100
      

      One of the automations (at night)

      - id: '1557033756115'
        alias: Turn on bathroom light at night
        trigger:
        - entity_id: binary_sensor.bathroom_movement
          from: 'off'
          platform: state
          to: 'on'
        condition:
        - after: '23:00'
          before: '7:59'
          condition: time
        - condition: state
          entity_id: light.spejl
          state: 'off'
        action:
        - data:
            brightness_pct: 10
            entity_id: light.spejl
          service: light.turn_on
        - data: {}
          service: rest_command.turn_on_mm_screen
        - data: {}
          service: rest_command.undim_mm_screen
      

      Next step would be to modify rest_command so that I don’t have one for each action, but send a payload that is modified to the command that I want.

          @fribse Nice job! I’m strictly using home assistant. Not tied to Magic Mirror at all. Home Assistant is a cool thing and I have it running my entire house :)
