Ideas Needed

How I do URL calls in python is through urllib.request - import that library then:

urllib.request.urlopen("http://pi.hole:60001/remote?action=MONITORTOGGLE")

Depends on how far outside you wanna go outside the MM ecosystem.

edit: reminds me, I gotta re-write that for the new config, pi-hole and the mirror being two different units now.

@BKeyport but u have to use a helper to launch the python code…
way overhead for a fetch or post

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil True, if you’re staying in the MM ecosystem - in my case, I couldn’t get the modules I wanted to work the way I wanted, so I wrote up a python script to cover it, and it runs independently of MM

He wanted a python method, so I gave him options.

maybe by using traits (google actions)
example of recipes there

this doc can help to make it

I went the way of dataplicity.io/wormhole, NGINX, IFTTT and MMM-NotificationTrigger. That way I should be able to use a webhook to execute the python script.

@Bugsounet Thanks Bugs! I will look into that when I have time for it.
