Send a notification to your MagicMirror

[chrisfr1976]

Hi,

is there a chance to send a notification from outside to the Mirror? I‘d like to use an Apple shortcut to start some actions from outside. Another my could be Alexa but I think all Alexa-modules do not work anymore?!

I tried so far:

pm2 send mm emit "Cookidoo_view"

and

node -e "require('electron').ipcRenderer.send('MY_CUSTOM_NOTIFICATION', { message: 'Hello from Node\!' })"

And i tested a notification script but also without success:

var NodeHelper = require("node_helper");

var helper = NodeHelper.create({
    start: function () {
        this.sendSocketNotification("Cookidoo_view");
    }
});

module.exports = helper;

Any ideas?

Hi, yes but I used a different approach. I wanted to get a link from my module. Now the link is automatic saved an I can get it with an Apple shortcut. See MMM-Cookidoo.

@chrisfr1976 see the 3rd party list

AlexaControl still works, but requires a real echo device to do the voice action and interface to MagicMirror

@chrisfr1976 did you resolve this?

notifications between modules can ONLY be sent/received in/from the modulename.js side,
in browser…

socket notifications are ONLY between the modulename.js AND the node_helper loaded with this module
