      Hi there,

      Im still relatively new to the world of Magic Mirror and programming as well. As per topic, I have created a script that generates a JSON file as an output and i would like MM to make use of this output in one of my modules.

      is this possible?

        I am not sure if you still need it, but just in case:
        As far as I know there is the “python-shell” library which lets you do exactly that.
        Paul-Vincent Roll used it in his facial recognition module, that’s how I found out.

          Hi @tosti007 ,

          I found out that by making use of the “exec” command works too. I came across this command while i was looking at the PIR sensor module ( https://github.com/paviro/MMM-PIR-Sensor ) . Thanks for sharing anyway!
