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

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

there are multiple

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?

@MilkShake So IFTTT makes a webrequest that looks like this:

URL: https://MMPUBLICURL/webhook
Method: POST
Content type: application/json
Body: { “sender”: { “name”:“IFTTT” }, “notification”: “OPEN_GATE”}

I thought I could do something like:

{
module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
      config: {
        useWebhook: true,
        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!"
                    }
                },
              }
            ],
          },
		  {
			trigger: "OPEN_GATE",
			fires: [
				exec: "home/pi/open_gate.py"
			],
		  
		  
		  },
        ]
      }
},

What is the correct syntax to fire a script?

Hi,
I am having difficulties with the syntax of MMM-NotificationTrigger. I have this syntax working (semi):

{
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!"
                    }
                },
              }
            ],
          },

        ]
      }
},

I need to add a trigger using webhook for the notification “Open_Gate” that fires a local script. Every time I change the syntax it seems to get broken. Can anyone help?

@Bugsounet Thanks Bugs! I will look into that when I have time for it.

I went the way of dataplicity.io/wormhole, NGINX, IFTTT and MMM-NotificationTrigger. That way I should be able to use a webhook to execute the python script.

@retroflex The mirror and the gate are on the same LAN. The assistant understands the “Open Gate” command and replies with “Ok, Opening the gate”, but if I were to use a Google Action to do the GET, it would come from the internet.

I don’t know how to catch the event locally on the mirror. If I did, I would just call the python script and the gate would open.
