MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3 and MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call

Hi,

sorry for the late response but I was ill and laying in bed.

I will have a look. Actually I have the following “proofed”.

@rkorell said in MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3 and MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call:

do you have the right (actual) fork? in my case this was https://github.com/xIExodusIx/MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3.git

Yes, I’m using this one, too.

@rkorell said in MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3 and MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call:

I’m not sure if this is correct: In your config a username is missing. As far as I’m aware of you have to use a username/password combination - therefore I remember that I had to create a separate user for using the module.

Well, until now I didn’t need more. Everything is working fine except the arrows and colours. But I will see if sth. is needed.

@rkorell said in MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3 and MMM-Callmonitor-Current-Call:

there were some requirements for the module - some python libraries as I remember correctly. - Do you have installed them in a proper version?

I think I have the right ones and up to date but I will have a look, too.

Thanks so far.

Kind regards

Jose

That was the reason. Don`t know it shows the calls without a password but not the arrows.

Now everything is working fine.

Thanks a greets

@xiexodusix - I set up my MagicMirror from scratch and now wanted to integrate the FRITZ-Callmonitor to it, unfortunately with no luck. No calls are displayed, the phonebook has non-stop rotating icon. In the docker logs (Yes, I’m using latest MagicMirrorOS with integrated Docker) I get the following error:

[2026-01-11 02:10:11.646] [ERROR] [app] Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...

[2026-01-11 02:10:11.686] [ERROR] [app] MagicMirror² will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?

As you can see, I have created username and password only for MM.

Starting fritzconnection from (host) commandline works, incomming calls are registered and shown in Terminal.

@Mathes75

probably python missing, see https://khassel.gitlab.io/magicmirror/faq/dependencies/#use-the-fat-image

You can change the image in the .env file.

Mathes75

@karsten13 to get this right: Using the fat image would have at least python on board. And to get everything to work I would need to add a script, adding the dependencies for MMM-FRITZ-Box-Callmonitor-py3:

Execute npm install to install the dependencies.
(Optional) Execute sudo apt-get install python3-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev && sudo pip install --break-system-packages fritzconnection to allow access to your FRITZ!Box phone book and recent calls. This can take a few minutes.

Will definitely give it a try!

Hello @karsten13,
I have changed the docker image to fat in .env file. Unfortunately, after pulling the docker image, the script stopped with error: No such container: 1b169eacdb711[~35 more numbers/letters].
Magic Mirror stopped working :( What did I do wrong?

karsten13

@Mathes75

which script?

show content of “the script” and output of docker compose config

Mathes75

@karsten13
Sorry for being that unspecific. I changed the .env file in the “Docker image to use” section:

# Docker Images to use:
MM_IMAGE="karsten13/magicmirror:v2.34.0_fat"
LABWC_IMAGE="karsten13/labwc:latest"
MMPM_IMAGE="karsten13/mmpm:latest"
WATCHTOWER_IMAGE="ghcr.io/nicholas-fedor/watchtower:latest"

Executed cd /opt/mm/run && docker compose up -d --force-recreate and the download started. After successfully pulling the image, Terminal stopped here:

@Mathes75

looks like there is an old container but no idea why docker is unable to remove it.

You can try

cd /opt/mm/run
docker compose down
docker rm -f $(docker ps -aq)
docker compose up -d

Doesn´t look good. I’m too noob about Docker to really understand what’s going on:

pi@magicmirrorMB:~ $ cd /opt/mm/run/
pi@magicmirrorMB:/opt/mm/run $ docker compose down
[+] down 1/1

After last line just nothing happens. No prompt, no display on mirror.
Can I check where the strange container is called or where the reference is?
