MMM-Openhab

[tmcgregor]

I have started building my own MagicMirror and would like to use your module to display who’s home based on phones connected to the wifi. I already have OpenHab set up with a sitemap showing who is home. After following your readme file, I now get a white box with nothing in it and chromium opens when MagicMirror does.

I made a copy of the sitemap and called it MMMOpenhab.sitemap and added your extra code. The sitemap works and I can access it. I get no errors when running npm start dev so MagicMirror can see the MMM-OpenHab module. I’m just not sure whats going wrong.

@tmcgregor Just FYI, you could also have that solution with the module MMM-NetworkScanner.

@tbbear Hi, What is the command to type into the terminal to download this module? Thank you

[sdetweil]

@georgeashton02 where would you find this module?

[georgeashton02]

@sdetweil I have found all of the information about it I just cannot find the information needed to install the module… Thanks

[sdetweil]

@georgeashton02 ok, how do you install modules in general?

Yeh you need to clone all the files of the module then mostly npm install that module but i need the address to clone for the files

@georgeashton02 said in MMM-Openhab:

but i need the address to clone for the files

i’m not sure I understand that… you mean github?

you know how to use search? google, or on github itself

@sdetweil Thanks i was being dumb, however i do have another problem any ideas why this is throwing errors at me?

sitemap MMM label="MMM-Openhab"
{
	        // Set for MMM-Openhab
	Webview url="/static/MMM-View.html"
}

Frame label="TV"
{
    Switch item= BedroomTVPower
    Switch item= BedroomPauseTv
}

Frame label="Lights" 
{
    Colorpicker item= My_Room_Light_Colour
    Switch item= My_Room_Lights
}

This was all working before i added the code that i was told to add by the MMM-openhab github page…

[sdetweil]

@georgeashton02 where are those? In config?

[georgeashton02]

@sdetweil Yes, That code if from my openhab .sitemap file

[sdetweil]

@georgeashton02 ok, i dont know what that means

[georgeashton02]

@tbbear when i add that line my code throws errors back at me? The code worked before regardless of what the name is…

Any suggestions thanks

[tbbear]

@georgeashton02 As u can see the error is already marked… The name of your sitemap is MMM.sitemap so name it as MMM not ourhome

[georgeashton02]

@tbbear No I understand this, as i said the name even when changed doesnt make a difference for some reason

[tbbear]

@georgeashton02 I dont know why your check tthows an error cause i typed your sitemap and i could run it without any problems in openhab2.5

[georgeashton02]

@tbbear That is very odd… what would you suggest i do?

[tbbear]

@georgeashton02 use it!

[georgeashton02]

@tbbear I used this sitemap, put the url for my sitemap in the config script and put that config script into the magic mirror config file. What other steps do i need to complete. Im sorry very confused my bad… Thanks
