  • MMM-TelegramBot integration with Motion detection

    Refer article (https://randomnerdtutorials.com/telegram-esp32-motion-detection-arduino/)
    I have configured an ESP-32 device for motion sensing and it sends an alert message to my phone using TelegramBot, I have used the existing “magicmirror bot” created for MMM-Telegrambot to receive the messages.

    MMM-Telegrambot module allows only one way communication from App on phone to Magic Mirror.
    I was wondering whether it would be possible to also to display the alert messages received on MM bot on telegram app to display (or forward) the alert message to display on the MagicMirror screen using MMM-Telegrambot module.
    I hope i have been clear in stating the requirement.

  • RE: MMM-LocalTemperature. No display of values

    @sdetweil Ok Problem solved. I installed MMM-DHT-Sensor module instead of MMM-LocalTemperature module and it is working like a charm. Absolutely no issues during installation and worked the first time it was fired up. This indicates there is some issue with the MMM-Local Temperature module. I opened an issue in the Github page. Hope it can be addressed.

  • RE: MMM-LocalTemperature. No display of values

    @sdetweil The dht.py script does read the temperature and humidity indicating that the sensor is working. However, even after changing the read interval to 30 seconds, the intermittency continues. As far as the MMM-LocalTemperature module is considered it does not display any value at all. This aspect is confusing. If the senor does give intermittent readings at least the module should be able to read and display them. Can i be doing something basically wrong in configuration?

  • MMM-LocalTemperature. No display of values

    The MMM-local temperature module does not display temperature and Humidity on the screen. Even the header for the Module MMM-LocalTemperature does not show. The weather module which accepts local temperature value from module also does not display the values even when they have been included in config.js.
    I have gone through the forum on this topic . I have tried every option but it has not solved my issue. Steps taken to resolve;

    1. Replaced the existing DHT22 sensor with new one. Also connected a 10K pull-up resistor to the sensor. Connected sensor to GPIO22 and powered with 3,3v supply from Pi.
    2. Re-installed module MMM-Local Temperature
    3. Re-installed wiringpi
    4. Rechecked the config.js file, pinSheme: "WPI’
    5. Locally run a DHT.py script which displays values intermittently.
    6. npm start pm2 does not throw up any error of the module (MMM-LocalTemperature).
      Request help in resolving the issue.

  • RE: Display logos?

    @Bungle68 For images stored in a local folder i have used the module MMM-ImageSlideshow previously. However, i have now moved to using MMM-Google Photos which is excellent and photos can be refreshed quite easily via Google Photos app. For Logo try
    MMM-SimpleLogo. Though it currently not maintained.

  • RE: Replacing Radar Sensing module (RCWL-0516) in place of PIR Sensor

    @wishmaster270 Wow and thanks once again. Mission successful. I installed and configured the RCWL-0516 Radar sensor successfully with your modules as described by you. It was very smooth going with no hiccups. Now the MM is decluttered with no PIR sensor sticking out of the frame. The radar sensor has been conveniently placed behind the mirror and it is working perfectly through the glass. As the delay is configurable i am able to set it as per my requirement.
    Thanks.

  • MMM_Alexa Control: Alexa Command words

    @ JosefJantzen
    I successfully installed and integrated the Alexa Control module. I have a Pi 3B and an Alexa DOT alexa (3 gen). I had no issues in pairing it with my Alexa device. I also use MMM-Pages. After configuring, Alexa has assigned the device id to each page. I can easily switch between pages by giving the command “Alexa turn on page3” or “Alexa turn on page6” etc. Apparently Alexa has configured the commands as a WEMOS device (On and Off).
    My question is that is it possible to change the command word of Alexa to *“Alexa show me page3” or “Show me page 7” etc?
    Thanks!

  • RE: Replacing Radar Sensing module (RCWL-0516) in place of PIR Sensor

    @wishmaster270 Thanks for the info. However, i have a small query,
    The PIR sensor has a configurable time delay which keeps the Pin “high” even after no motion is detected. However, the RCWL has no such provision.
    In the config, is the delay value* for keeping the monitor “ON”, independent of the PIR time delay ? If it is so then once the RCWL detects motion the pin will be ‘high’ momentarily then go ‘low’. But the delay should keep the monitor ‘ON’ as per value(in seconds).
    Please confirm if my understanding of the function is correct.
    {
    module: ‘MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification’,
    config: {
    delay: 60, “*THIS VALUE”
    profiles: {
    “pageOneEverone pageTwoEveryone”: 600
    }
    }
    }

  • RE: Replacing Radar Sensing module (RCWL-0516) in place of PIR Sensor

    @wishmaster270 Okay, so i got an RCWL circuit module board and replaced it with the PIR sensor. It does work “out of the box”, with the MMM-PIR module, BUT there is a limitation, the monitor switches “ON” on detection of motion, but switches off immediately(2 seconds) after motion detection. The pin is high only as long as the motion exists. Is there a way to keep the monitor ON for some time duration, like the delay adjustment in PIR sensor.?
    Some websites have suggested to increase the capacitor value on the module which can provide delay upto 40 seconds. However, need a software configurable option if possible.
