Is there any command line that I can send an alert?

I’m new to programming and I’m trying to create a magic mirror. Do i have to create a .js to execute the alert?

@User_1234 you should use one of the notification modules see the 3rd party list

then u can use a web browser or commandline curl to send notifications for actions,

What kind of alert? What is it that you’re trying to accomplish?

@User_1234 Hi, the module MMM-RemoteControl is able to send alerts…you can do this from your phone or tablet to your mirror.

I also would like to be able to trigger alerts from outside the MM eco-system… For example - MMM-Buttons doesn’t work for me due to lack of pull resistors on my switches, and the lack of support for internal ones, as well as having lights that I’d like to light up for various button pushes and statuses.

I’d love to use a python script to set up the buttons functionality instead of MMM-Buttons, and trigger actions within MM.

I’m trying to show an alert if I forget something on or the house is on fire

@BKeyport
possble. some modules like RemoteControl and notificationTrigger, can receive HTTP Request. If your script can send custom HTTP request(to localhost or internal IP), those modules can control other modules.
