MagicMirror Pimatic (Home Automation) Dashboard

Mr.Sponti

@Zinkeler - Sorry, but I can’t help here. I’m running 2 pi’s with separate installations of pimatic and MagicMirror. The first Raspberry hosts pimatic including several interfaces (Homeduino, MySensors, arexx temperature logger) and the second is mounted behind a HDMI Monitor hanging at the wall of my diningroom.

@Mr.Sponti - thank you for your answer.
I now setup a second PI and installed Pimatic.
On both PI´s i installd socket.io and socket.io-Client.
My second pi works fine with pimatic and my first Pi works with MagicMirror.
I installed your modul as you described.

If i run a test on my MagicMirror-PI:

pi@raspberrypi3:~ $ node testpim.js
connected
[ { id: 'temperatur',
    name: 'Temperatur',
    template: 'device',
    attributes: [ [Object], [Object] ],
    actions: [],
    config:
     { class: 'HomeduinoRFWeatherStation',
       protocols: [Object],
       values: [Object],
       processingTemp: '$value',
       processingHum: '$value',
       xAttributeOptions: [],
       id: 'temperatur',
       name: 'Temperatur' },
...```
i see, that socket works too.
But on my MagicMirror is only get the message "Connecting to pimatic ..." 
 config.js:
*{
            module: 'MMM-M1-Pimatic',
            position: 'bottom_center',
            header: 'PIMATIC',
            host : 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xx',
            port : 80,
            user : 'user',
            passwd : 'passwort',
            config: {
                device: [
                    { 
                        name: 'Schrankschalter',
                        icon: 'icon-Default',
                        attributeName: 'schrankschalter.state',
                        defaultValue: false,
                        notification : 'Eingeschaltet'
                    },
                ],
            },
        },*
What am i doing wrong??
Thanks

Ich weiß, dass github in der Readme genau das zeigt, was du probierst, aber meiner Meinung nach ist das falsch.

{
            module: 'MMM-M1-Pimatic',
            position: 'bottom_center',
            header: 'PIMATIC',
            config: {
                host : 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xx',
                port : 80,
                user : 'user',
                passwd : 'passwort',
                device: [
                    { 
                        name: 'Schrankschalter',
                        icon: 'icon-Default',
                        attributeName: 'schrankschalter.state',
                        defaultValue: false,
                        notification : 'Eingeschaltet'
                    },
                ],
            },
        }

Meiner Meinung nach müssen host, port, user und passwd in den config Bereich.

@yawns

Who can help me with this?
I am running MM on one RPI and Pimatic on another one.
But I have no idea how to get the information of Pimatic on the MM screen.
If somebody can tell me what to install where …
Thanks in advance!
Peter

Mr.Sponti

@Peter
I’ve reworked my MMM-Pimatic modul but need now to adjust the description on gihub. The modul connects to a pimatic server to listen on device attribute changes and displays changes as notifications on the MagicMirror screen. Temperature values can be displayed in a separate table. As soon as I’ve completed the Readme, I will send you a message.

Peter

@Mr.Sponti thanks!
Would be great!
Peter

Mr.Sponti

@Peter Here you can find the latest version of my MMM-Pimatic module. The README isn’t yet covering all features but should be sufficient for the installation and basic configuration of the module.
Please feel free to contact me if you need help to get it running.

Peter

@Mr.Sponti thanks!
I will try it as soon as possible.
I will let you know the results!
Peter

And I have no idea what to do (how to install) socket.io-client.
