MMM-HomeAssistant

[schlomm]

I’m just here to say “Thank you” - installed the module yesterday and after some struggling with my MQTT Backend all is working :)

[UncleRoger]

Just to be clear, this is meant to allow you to control the MM from HA, not display HA info on the MM, right?

[sdetweil]

@UncleRoger correct MMM-HomeAssistantDisplay
will display info from ha

Would you see a chance to include a “sensor” that shows whether an update for a module is available? Right now the sensor on updates can only “hide” the update message on the mirror.

With an update sensor, I could get a message on my phone and at least trigger the update remotely with the MMM-Remote module.

Thanks anyway for this great module.

I found a display (touchscreen) to setup a family dashboard and i`m making babysteps to get it going again after a long time of trying out MagicMirror

I did get this module to work and most of the buttons in HomeAssistant work, but since i`m using a GigabyteBrix debian12 pc the screen off and on does not work.

This however is working to get the screen on/off

apt install vbetool

root@debian:~# sudo vbetool dpms off
root@debian:~# sudo vbetool dpms on

root@debian:~# cat /etc/sudoers.d/magicmirror
magicmirror ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/vbetool

root@debian:~# 

So i changed the on off command to

/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/vbetool dpms off
/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/vbetool dpms on

But it stops working as soon as i start the MagicMirror using PM2 and i`m not sure why.

Are there any other options?

I was directed from [MagicMirror Forum] Digest for 1/11/2026 to that discussion and I can show you some kind of alternative regarding Home Assistant controlled MagicMirror. It is using TouchKIO as a mirror client.
Recently I did upgrade my many years existing setup and I did summarize it here:

@raymonvdm can you show the log?

I always recommend testing with manual start after you make a module change

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start 

if it comes up ok, ctrl-q, or alt-spacebar, c
then pm2 status
and pm2 start xxxx
where xxxx is the name or number on the row for your application

I found out that it stil asked for the user password when performing sudo. I had this statement in /etc/sudoers

magicmirror ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

And this in /etc/sudoers.d/magicmirror

magicmirror ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/vbetool

For now i removed the line in /etc/sudoers

I just found this awesome module and installed on our all newly installed MagicMirror.
After integrating it to HomeAssistant everything is working just fine. There is one downside:
If I switch the screen off via Home Assistant

it turns ‘off’ but switches back ‘on’ on its own after 3-5sec.

I checked the MQTT vie MQTT Explorer but I just see the commands coming from the MachiMirror

any I deal what is wrong?

here is the config I’m using:

{
    		module: 'MMM-HomeAssistant',
    		config: {
        		mqttServer: 'mqtt://192.168.178.100',
        		mqttPort: 1883,
        		username: 'mqtt-client',
        		password: 'PASSWORD',
        		deviceName: 'MagicMirror',
        		autodiscoveryTopic: 'homeassistant',
        		monitorControl: true,
        		brightnessControl: true,
        		moduleControl: true,
				/***** for xandr
        		monitorStatusCommand: 'xrandr --query | awk \'/Screen/ {print ($8 > 320) ? "true" : "false"}\'',
        		monitorOnCommand: 'xrandr -d :0 --output HDMI-1 --auto --rotate right',
        		monitorOffCommand: 'xrandr -d :0 --output HDMI-1 --off',
				*/
				/***** for Wayland Display Steuerung  */
				monitorStatusCommand: 'wlr-randr | awk \'/HDMI-A-1/ {found=1} found && /Enabled:/ {print ($2 == "yes") ? "true" : "false"; exit} END {if(!found) print "false"}\'',
        		monitorOnCommand: 'wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on',
        		monitorOffCommand: 'wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off',
        		pm2ProcessName: 'mm',
        		refreshBrowser: true,
        		customCommands: [
            		{
                		name: 'Update MagicMirror',
                		command: 'bash ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-HomeAssistant/custom_commands/update_MM.sh'
            		}
		        ]
		    }
		},

any Idea what is wrong?
Thank you

@onkelbobby generally you should post a message to the author in the module github issues section
