@sdetweil Thanks Sam! I ended up copying the SD card to a new one.

Hi,
Can someone help troubleshoot my sound settings on my RPI4 with Raspbian OS? I use the MMM-Sounds module to trigger sounds at different events, but since copying the SD card to a new one, it seems to have lost the ability to play wav files. Cannot remember how I used to set it up!

When i do Aplay sound.wav nothing happens it plays the wav with no sound.

When I do aplay -l:

card 2: Device [USB2.0 Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

When I do:

speaker-test -c2 -twav -l7 -D plughw:2,0

the speaker outputs front left…front right…front left…etc. so I know it is working.

Thanks a lot for the help!

@sdetweil The problem for me is, that when it automatically reboots at 6:00 (which has worked fine for years), MM all of a sudden does not start up anymore. So each morning I wake up to a mirror with the Raspbian OS desktop open and the RPI seems to be unresponsive. I cannot SSH or MSTSC to it. When I cut off power to the MM and reboot it that way, it comes up fine (usually).

MilkShake

@sdetweil Yes, it could have something to do with that. I need to look into how to view that. Thank you.

Hi,
I setup my mirror years ago and used a feature like crontab to have it reboot once pr day.

Now, I would like to remove the autyomatic reboot, but I cannot find what triggers it.

Nothing under crontab -e and nothing in /etc/rc.local.

last -x produces this for one day:

Kragh    pts/0        192.168.1.20     Wed Feb 11 17:41   still logged in
Kragh    tty1                          Wed Feb 11 06:01    gone - no logout

shutdown system down  6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v Wed Feb 11 06:00 - 06:00  (-00:00)

Help is much appreciated…

read carefully.

You are absolutely correct. Thanks for pointing it out.

@MilkShake said in Receive a HTTP request and subsequently wake up display and display alert/notification:

It works when I include the notification in the URL like this:

http://MMIP:8090/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=SOMEONE_AT_THE_DOOR

Simply, you can use this.
http://MMIP:8090/webhook?notification=SOMEONE_AT_THE_DOOR
That is the GET method.

for the shellscript, your trial seems right, but you should take care for the path and the permission.
I think this would be right. (It depends on your environment)
exec: "bash /home/Kragh/monitor_on.sh",
// OR
exec: ". /home/Kragh/monitor_on.sh",

Well, I got it working, sort off.

I cannot get http://192.168.1.100:8090/webhook?action=notification=SOMEONE_AT_THE_DOOR to work. It returns a 200:OK but nothing is displayed.

I have to use http://MMIP:8090/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=SOMEONE_AT_THE_DOOR for it to work.

Oh well, succeded in turning the display on as well:

{
        module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
        config: {
                useWebhook: true,
                triggers: [
                        {
                                trigger: "SOMEONE_AT_THE_DOOR",
                                fires: [
                                        {
                                                fire: "SHOW_ALERT",
                                                exec: "vcgencmd display_power 1",
                                                payload: {
                                                        title: "PORTEN",
                                                        message: "Der er nogen ved porten!",
                                                        timer: "20000",
                                                }
                                        }
                                ]
                        }

                ]
        }
},

Last thing to do is to also play the doorbell. I need to configure the speaker on the rasp4 first.

MilkShake

Also, do you know the syntax for executing a shell script in MMM-NotificationTrigger?

I though it would be like this:

{
        module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
        config: {
                useWebhook: true,
                triggers: [
                        {
                                trigger: "SOMEONE_AT_THE_DOOR",
                                fires: [
                                        {
                                                fire: "SHOW_ALERT",
                                                exec: "home/Kragh/monitor_on.sh",
                                                payload: {
                                                        title: "PORTEN",
                                                        message: "Der er nogen ved porten!",
                                                        timer: "10000",
                                                }
                                        }
                                ]
                        }
                ]
        }
}

monitor_on.sh is set as executionable.

@MMRIZE All I have is this:

https://www.doorbird.com/downloads/manual_d10x_en_de.pdf

It works when I include the notification in the URL like this:

http://MMIP:8090/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=SOMEONE_AT_THE_DOOR

That is sweet. Now I need to exec a shell script also.

MilkShake

@MMRIZE said in Receive a HTTP request and subsequently wake up display and display alert/notification:

@MilkShake

First, What request method and body is emitted from the gate?
It should be something like;

endpoint : http://MYMM:8090/webhook

requestMethod : "POST"

requestHeader: "Content-type: application/json"

requestBody : (
{
  notification: "SOMEONE_AT_THE_DOOR"
}
If you select “GET” as requestMethod, you may need to deliver the notification as parameter instead of requestBody JSON

Then you can configure like this.
{
	module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
	config: {
		useWebhook: true,
		triggers: [
			{
				trigger: "SOMEONE_AT_THE_DOOR",
				fires: [
					{
						fire: "SHOW_ALERT",
						payload: {
							title: "Someone arrives home",
							message: "Welcome back home!",
							timer: "10000",
						}
					}
				]
			}
		]
	}
},

Thanks man! I will try that out. I think the doorbird appliance is using application/json POST requests, even though that is hard to find in the documentation.

@MilkShake
What is the request body from the gate? “SHOW_ALERT”? I think it would be better to emit other dedicated custom notification other than “SHOW_ALERT”.

It is just a webhook that is meant to get cached by MMM-NotificationTrigger module, that in turn should be able to send notifications to the Alert module.

@sdetweil said in Receive a HTTP request and subsequently wake up display and display alert/notification:

@MMRIZE he is trying to get the alert module popup

Yes. Well, I would actually like to execute a shell script that turns on the screen and display an Alert/Notification. I had this working on a previous version of MM, but now I cannot seem to figure it out.

MilkShake

Hi,
I have been trying to display a notification on my MM upon the receival of a HTTP request that comes from my gate. When womeone pushes the button at the gate, the gate is able to do a HTTP request.

It is setup to request: http://MYMM:8090/webhook

When that is fired I receive a 200:OK.

In my config I have:

{
      module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
      config: {
        useWebhook:true,
        triggers:[
          {
            trigger: "SHOW_ALERT",
            fires: [
              {
                fire:"SHOW_ALERT",
                payload:{
                        "title": "PORTEN",
                        "message": "Der er nogen ved porten",
                        "timer":5000
                        },
              },
            ],
          },
        ]
      }
 },

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Much appreciated :)

@ferby09

Yeah, mine is not constant with that. Some times it can work 3 days and sometimes it is hours. I am looking into logs now.

MilkShake

@sdetweil said in Rasp4 running MagicMirror stops responding after some time:

@MilkShake could be

I would start by looking in the /var/logs folder where the system logs are written

there are multiple

so you would need to look at the latest dates,
usually when u boot the previous is saved and a new is started

Thansk man. I will dig around and see what I can find. It is annoying to say the least.

Hi All,
I have a magic mirror that I built 3 years ago, running on a Rapsberry 4. It uses a small motionsensor on the left of the mirror to activate. After booting the rasp it usually works for 2-3 days after which it stops responding to SSH, motion detection and RDP. I can still ping it.

Would anyone know how to go about troubleshooting this? Could it be memory build up?

Best regards

Hi, Thanks for the guide. I got it working as IFTTT actually sends a webrequest to my mirror. I am having trouble with the syntax of NotificationTrigger. I already use that module to turn on my Mirror if my gate button is pushed and display an alert.

I would like to execute a script when the trigger OPEN_GATE is received. Here is my current config:

{
module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
      config: {
          triggers:[
          {
            trigger: "PLAY_SOUND",
            fires: [
              {
                fire:"USER_PRESENCE",
                payload: function(payload) {
                  return false

                }
              },

              {
                fire:"SHOW_ALERT",
                payload: function(payload) {
                  return {
                    type: "notification",
                    title: "Porten",
                    message: "Der er nogen ved porten!"
                    }
                },
              }
            ],
          },

        ]
      }
},

Can anyone help with the syntax to add a trigger for “OPEN_GATE” notification that fires a script?
