The TapPlastics stuff looks to be the same as the Acrylics Online stuff, but at least you can get it to size. The Acrylics Online sheet is just a tad bit small for most monitors. I attempted to contact them ages ago about getting a custom size, but suprise suprise they didn’t respond.

No I haven’t looked since. Moving house this month and I’ll get back into it after that.

I wonder how big the sheet is and if they would cut it for you, perhaps you could split the cost with others.

Ahh you are correct that is how I have it connected, I just had a dyslexic moment and named the opposing pins by accident :/

This guide should cover it. Although that is for older raspberry pi models but still worth a read.

For raspberry pi 3 I’ve connected the pins [DI to 20] and [CI to 24] as labelled in this image.

Specifically for MagicMirrors on a Raspberry Pi with a LPD8806 led strip, this module allows other modules to trigger light sequences or trigger from a http endpoint.

Description

This is my first module so don’t expect too much :p

This enables realtime notifications from IFTTT to your MagicMirror install, via a JSON POST endpoint of the mirror. Full instructions in the project:

Technically, this module could be used for any webhook service such as Zapier too.

Wow that is not obvious or documented.

However, that worked :) Thanks heaps!

I dumbed the module right down:

node_helper.js

const NodeHelper = require('node_helper');

module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
    start: function() {
        console.log('[IFTTT] Starting node_helper');

        var self = this;
        setTimeout(function () {
            self.sendSocketNotification('MSG', {message: 'test'});
        }, 10000);
    }
});

MMM-IFTTT.js

//...
    socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
        if (notification === 'MSG'){
            Log.info(payload);
        }
    },
//...

Still not getting the log in dev console :(

Hi community, I’m pulling my hair out trying to get this one working.

I’ve got my MMM-IFTTT module nearly completed, except for a small hickup.

In the node_helper.js I’m sending a socket notification that is not getting through to the UI. It was working at some stage before nesting it in another function, so I assume it’s a scope issue. I’ve tried debugging everything everywhere, even using this.io to send it the hard way.

I’m using the new ES6 anonymous function syntax, ie:

this.expressApp.post('/IFTTT', (req, res) => {

which should keep the this reference from outside of the function and all my console logging suggests it does, however I think that the io reference is not the same one somehow, and despite the this.io.of(this.name).emit(notification, payload); succeeding in the node helper library, the notification simply doesn’t show in the UI dev console.

This is also apparent when trying the var self = this; method, using the self object even immediately doesn’t send through the socket.

Any help on this scope stuff would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I’ll share what I’ve found, but I too am still looking for a local provider in Brisbane so I don’t have to pay ridiculous postage. I also want a custom size for my mirror which seems harder than it should be.
