@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.

@sdetweil my whole point is, since the action happens on the google assistant I would need to do port forwards in my firewall to be able to call a LAN URL with a GET method. I guess it would be possible to catch the event locally on the mirror and then call the python script or do the GET method in some other manner, but I don’t know how to do that.

One option would be to just add a physical button to the raspberry pi and when pressed it runs the GET method. It just annoys me that you can make the assistant understand a command, but not utilize it locally on LAN.

@sdetweil I’m not following your point. I get it that I could do the GET from javascript instead of running a script, but the rest you might elaborate a bit more on :)

@sdetweil this is two lines:

import requests

x = requests.get('http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@192.168.1.XXX/bha-api/open-door.cgi')
print(x.status_code)

It doesn’t really matter how I do it. The point is that it has to be done from LAN, so I need a way to interact with the mirror and get it to fire the script.

Hi,
So I build a magic mirror with MMM-AssistantMk2 and it works pretty good. I have the assistant/mirror integrated with the following:

Roborock vacuumers (1 on each floor)
Siemens EQ9 automatic coffeemachine
Hue Lighting
Video feed from the gate camera (doorbird 101D)

So, I got the assistant to recognize the open gate “Open Gate” command and respond with “Ok, Opening the front gate”. However, in order to actually open the front gate, a HTTP GET needs to be sent to the gate camera. I can do that with a python script on the Raspberry PI, however in order to get the assistant to call that script I would need to do port forwards in my firewall, which I would rather not.

I need some way to interact with the mirror, so it calls the python script. It could be a physical button but I am looking for alternatives.

Does anyone have any ideas?

You have to have AMk2 and the screen Addon by Bugsounet.

But basicly, I used the https string you gave me for the HTTP call to MMM-Sounds. That triggers the event PLAY_SOUND which can be picked up by MMM-Notification-Trigger:

{
      module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
      config: {
        triggers:[
          {
            trigger: "PLAY_SOUND",
            fires: [
              
//wakes up the screen using the screen addon
              {
                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!",
                    timer: 1000
                  }
                },
              }
            ],
          },
        ]
      }
},

I’m struggling a bit with the multiple fires within one trigger, but I had it working at a certain point :)

Hi,
I used the MMM-Notification-Trigger to wake up the screen and display an alert when it receives the PLAY_SOUND event.

@Sean I got it to work using:

{
      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!"
                },
              },
            ],
          },
        ]
      }
 },

Thanks for helping!

@Sean Yeah, I see that. When I fire this

http://MM_IP:8080/remote?action=SHOW_ALERT&message=Der%er%nogen%ved%porten!&title=PORT&timer=10&type=alert

it displays the alert.

@Sean I also tried that. The Alert does not show up in MM. It wakes the screen with USER_PRESENCE and plays the sound, but no Alert.

Hi Everyone,
Can some help me create a Notification trigger that fires multiple commands?

So I have a gate that calls PLAY_SOUND when the gate button is pressed. Besides playing the sound I would like to show an alert and wake up the screen.

So playing the sound and wakening the screen works. But I would like to add an Alert as well. The working config is like this:

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

Now, if I wan’t and alert on the same event, I tried this:

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

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

But it does not work.

Any help appreciated…

@mmourcia would be an option, thanks. I will check it out! My initial thought was that the code executing the wavfile, would also be able to execute a shell script on the PI, but a HTTP listener would also do the job.

Evidently, I can only set the Doorbird to do ONE http call pr event, otherwise a tweaked version of the monitor on http call (MMM-Remote-Control) could be used together with the call for playing a sound.

@mmourcia And I need to find out how to run a script on the same event :)

@mmourcia Hey man, just tested, it works! Why would the schedule for a HTTP call not be allowed in the scheduler by default is beyond me! :)

Thanks man. I think I’ll keep the feed open for the camera and use the MMM-Sounds for notification when someone pushes the button. That is, if I can get it to work :)

But a nice way to get the module data, thanks!
