@SteveMann That’s the rough part - the original author abandoned the project - and they’re rebuilding…

https://github.com/motioneye-project/motioneyeos/releases - use the pi image there to get started - will work on everything up to Pi 4. Does not work on Pi 5.

@SteveMann Pi3 is likely being choked to death with that. It’s hard on the Pi4. If I could get it to run the way I wanted on a Pi 5, I’d upgrade to that myself.

@sdetweil MMM-Notification is not found, however, I did find MMM-ViewNotification, and it was sending as requested.

User Error. I did a typo.

Geez. 🙃🙃🙃🙃

@sdetweil

hiddenPages: {
    "blah": ["Page4"],
},

@sdetweil LIRC = Linux Infered Remote Control. Basically, will issue commands on any remote control press as programmed into it. That part I have working, and will issue commands properly.

If I issue a Volume Up command from my remote, LIRC will respond and issue a curl -X GET http://magicmirrorip:8080/api/refresh - which will trigger MMM-remote-control to refresh the mirror.

but,
the problem I’m currently having, apparently, is that the methods of sending the notification in MMM-Remote-Control isn’t exactly clear to me, and I don’t know how to modify them to trigger MMM-Pages (Your version, BTW)

curl -X GET http://magicmirrorip:8080/api/notification/SHOW_HIDDEN_PAGE/blah is what I assume should work - if I issue the web command in the browser, MM responds with {"success":true,"notification":"SHOW_HIDDEN_PAGE","payload":"blah"} however, nothing is triggered in MM.

I’m gleaning info from: https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control/blob/master/API/README.md

I’m currently attempting to use LIRC to set up a remote control to control the mirror via Pages.

What I’ve gotten so far is attempting to use MMM-Remote-Control to send notifications through the mirror to Pages and control it. I can successfully issue commands from LIRC to system built in commands, but fail in sending notifications out. They seem to do nothing, ever.

Can someone help me figure out how to use the notification sender correctly, so I can send notifications to MMM-Pages and get it to show a hidden page ? Specifically the URLs to curl to get it to do what I want?

Thanks!

@SteveMann MotionEyeOS will take in the RTSP stream and push out a web compatible stream. At that point, you can take MMM-Embed URL and show the stream. I use the older non-supported MotionEyeOS because the newer versions of MotionEye don’t want to work reliably yet in the way I want.

My motion eye settings - note, I have the low setting in use to save the Pi4 from working too hard:

the embed URL is http://192.168.X.X/picture/1/frame/

		{
			module: "MMM-EmbedURL",
			position: "top_left",
			classes: "camera1",
			config: {
				updateInterval: 0,
				animationSpeed: 0, 
				appendTimestamp: false,
				attibutes: [],
				embed: [
					"http://192.168.X.X/picture/1/frame/"
				],
			},
		},

@SteveMann RTSP isn’t directly compatible with MagicMirror. The only solution I ever found to work, and what I’ve stuck with, is load up an old Pi 4 with MotionEyeOS - and use that to convert over to web, then use something like MMM-EmbedURL to show the stream provided by MotionEye.

@mediahypno When I was looking at the mirror element, I would have gone with the built in glass or acrylic. I’ve gone bare screen now, though.

@sdetweil right - what I’m saying is that maybe it should be in the module’s JS, rather than the config’s JS.

Seems trivial to add a safeguard to automatically check for empty items before the transformer gets it. Might also protect against other bugs that way, thus improving the overall product.

For completeness - here’s the answer:

	if(ev.description && ev.description.search("YCBM") > -1) {
       					 	ev.title = "Client"
 					} 

@sdetweil That did it… Well, other than typing out event rather than ev. :)

All the same, Maybe it should be a check inside the javascript…

I think we’re gonna have to call @MMRIZE in on this one. it worked initially - however, if the description is blank in any event, it’ll stop completely, and not process anything. Here’s what I got now.

				eventTransformer: (ev) => {
					if (ev.title.search("🏠") > -1) {
						ev.title = ev.title.replace("🏠 Personal Commitment", "Personal Event");
						ev.color = 'yellow';
					}
					if (ev.title.search("✈ Flight") > -1) {
						ev.title = ev.title.replace("✈ Flight", "Personal Event");
						ev.color = 'yellow';
					}
					if(ev.description.search("YCBM") > -1) {
       					 	ev.title = "Client"
 					} 
				return ev 
				},

@slaeyer99 I personally use MMM-EmbedURL - and just directly grab either the stream (via MotionOS) or individual frames.

@sdetweil perfection, thanks. Never even thought about direct replacement - only seen more complex solutions.

Web links removed, Test client deleted, so no clicky. The event title is solely the client name, but that can be adjusted if need be, I think.

@sdetweil What I meant is to replace the Client’s name with “Client” - it’s a wildcard.

The “YCBM” is in the event description to help my booking manager (YouCanBook.ME) to track the bookings for me.

I’m wanting to take a match of “YCBM” in the description, and make whatever the title is change to “Client”. Can someone help me write the if statement to add to my transformer?

eventTransformer: (ev) => {
	if (ev.title.search("🏠") > -1) {
		ev.title = ev.title.replace("🏠 Personal Commitment", "Personal Event");
		ev.color = 'yellow';
	}
	if (ev.title.search("✈ Flight") > -1) {
		ev.title = ev.title.replace("✈ Flight", "Personal Event");
		ev.color = 'yellow';
	}
return ev
}

@sdetweil indeed it does that, but I believe this may be the wrong approach.

No matter what, MM should start, IMO. In the case of config error, could we get an error screen like above, except for have it show the output of config checker?

This would help in server/client environments like mine, or PM2 or any number of scenarios where the logs may not be in the right spot.

@sdetweil ooh, I forgot about that.
