@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.
