Activate Profiles (via MMM-ProfileSwitcher) using MMM-Remote-Control...

[Snille]

Hi all,
I’m trying to switch profiles with the MMM-Remote-Control module via notifications to the MMM-ProfileSwitcher module.
But I can’t get it to work. I do get the MMM-ProfileSwitcher to “switch” but only to a profile called [object Object].
My profile in this case is called “Snille”.
The Profile Switcher work otherwise with the MMM-Touch-Navigation module, so it’s not broken otherwise.

Iv’e tried with the following URL (and variants of that):
http://MagicMirorIP:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=CURRENT_PROFILE&payload={“Profile”:“Snille”}
As long as the “json” is ok at the end I get the “Switched to profile [object Object]” on the mirror. But, of course I don’t have any “[object Object]” profile.
I do get a: {“status”:“success”} from the MMM-Remote-Control as well (as long as the “json” string is ok as well).
Anybody have any idea?

What about if you remove the double quotes from Profile? Just a guess.

@mortenbirkelund {“status”:“Unexpected token P in JSON at position 1”}

Tried that…

@Snille It is not an object, that you are supposed to send, see the documentation, just a simple string, i.e. ...?action=NOTIFICATION¬ification=CURRENT_PROFILE&payload=%22Snille%22.

%22Snille%22

Oh! Works! I can’t believe that I did not try that… Thank you!

Bonus for anyone who wounder why I wanted to do this…

I’m a user of “Alexa” (Amazons Echo Dot). I have 6 dots in my house. I wanted to be able to interact with the mirror with Alexa. And, yes I know there are lot’s of modules and stuff out there for this. But I have tried and not been satisfied with different modules/solutions that I found.

Now, It happens I already use a small software called “HA-Bridge” for controlling all kind of things using Alexa (for example all my lights via Z-Wave using a Fibaro HC2 controller). So this software can be configured to “visit” URL:s when called up on with a voice command though Alexa (in reality HA emulates a Philips HUE light that Alexa can “find” under “Smart House”, that give 3 different commands: On, off and dim.). This opens up a sea of opportunities as you can imagine.

So, now I say: “Alexa, turn on Snilles Mirror” to view my profile. (Switches to my profile)
Or: “Alexa, turn off Mirror Screen.” (Monitor off)
Or: “Alexa, turn off Mirror” (Shutdown the mirror)
And so on…
Yes… Imagine the possibilities.
