Module: MMM-iFrame

The MMM-iFrame module is for MagicMirror. It is a simple way to add an iFrame of any web content to your MagicMirror. Please note that not all websites support being in a iFrame.

Use case examples

Nest Camera streaming

As of right now, Nest Camera only support streaming to iFrame when the camera feed is set to public. When you set it to public, you'll get a live URL and a iFrame embedded URL (should look like https://video.nest.com/embedded/live/wSbs3mRsOF?autoplay=1). Put that url into the config.url[]. For more info, check out this thread https://nestdevelopers.io/t/is-there-a-way-to-get-nest-camera-streams-in-an-iframe/813.

D-Link Camera streaming

D-Link cameras streams can be easily embedded into an iFrame. Some cameras require a username and password. You can construct a URL that looks like this http://admin:[email protected]/mjpeg.cgi and put it in the config.url[].
