Hi, thanks for replying!

Yes, I do have the alert module as the first:

modules: [
		{
			module: "alert",
		},
		{
			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar"
		},

And here is the interesting thing:

This code does work:

{notification: 'SHOW_ALERT', schedule: '55 14 * * *', payload: {title: 'test1', imageUrl: "https://mir-s3-cdn-cf.behance.net/project_modules/disp/366be133850498.56ba69ac36858.png", timer: 30000}},

But this code (which is only changing the imageURL is not working, and the image is set for public! :(

	  {notification: 'SHOW_ALERT', schedule: '54 14 * * *', payload: {title: 'test2', imageUrl: "https://www.dropbox.com/s/XXXX/kids2.png", timer: 30000}}

Is there a way to show the image with a local path instead of an URL? I can’t seem to make it work either :(

@tagriel if you open the image in an icognito window of your browser, can you see it? Otherwise the settings are probably still broken.

If the local path doesn’t work, you can make use of the internal web server of the magic mirror. you can add a public directory in a module, like i did in the v2 of MMM-soccer and access the images via /MMM-soccer/image.png

Yup, I’m able to see it on Incognito mode, I’ve been uploading images to other servers and it still is the same, is not dropbox either :(

Hi, I manage to get it working with box instead of dropbox, amazon, google, and everything else that I’ve tried.

I was searching for MMM-soccer but I can’t seem to find any module with that name. Could you share the module URL? I think the idea of having an internal web server might do the trick here. I think is better to have it hosted locally because box URL is veeeeeery long and specific, it has so many chars in the URL that I believe it will work today but maybe not tomorrow.

@strawberry-3-141 Looks nice!
I’m trying to do the same from a python script and/or bash script.
Do you known how to trigger an alarm from curl or python?
thanks in advance.

@tagriel the url would be https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-soccer

but the only thing you need is a module let’s call it imageserver, which is only responsible as an image host.

directory structure:

MagicMirror
- modules
  - imageserver
    - public
      - kids.png
    - imageserver.js
    - node_helper.js

imageserver.js

Module.register("imageserver", {});

node_helper.js

const NodeHelper = require('node_helper');
module.exports = NodeHelper.create({});

config.js

{
	module: "imageserver"
},

command

MM.getModules()[0].notificationReceived("SHOW_ALERT", {title: 'My Title', message: 'Some Text', imageUrl: '/imageserver/kids.png'}, {name: 'test'});
