Trying to make a "Incoming call" module for iphone
-
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to set up real-time iPhone call notifications on my MagicMirror² display. I’ve set up a basic “PhoneCalls” module, that acts as an endpoint that can receive call information.
What I already have working:
- Module “listening”
- Server endpoint running on port 8282
- CSS styling for call display
- Module configured to show caller name and duration
- Backend ready to receive POST requests to
/phone-call
with this structure:
{
“deviceId”: “iphone1”,
“status”: “started” or “ended”,
“caller”: “Phone Number or Contact Name”
}
What I’m missing:
A way to get my iPhone to send these call status updates to the endpoint. Has anyone successfully implemented this? I’m particularly interested in:- Current methods for capturing iPhone call events
- Solutions for sending this data to the MagicMirror’s local endpoint
- Alternative modules or approaches if this isn’t the best way
My setup:
- MagicMirror²
- iPhone (latest iOS)
- Local network access between phone and mirror
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

After extensive googling, it seems this isn’t possible (any longer). Damnit.
