MMM-SystemOptions

Here’s a simple menu module that work with MMM-Remote-Control (which is required). For those using a touchscreen, this lets users open a menu to access common controls for their mirror. When an item is clicked, it sends a notification to MMM-Remote-Control to execute the action.

Thank you so much Sdetweil

@MMRIZE Excellent!
No more need to do ugly patch. Thank you for this module.

@BKeyport
You can see the browser-side log in the backend (terminal or log file) without ‘npm run start:dev’ or dev-console of chromium.
Frankly said, I’m a bit tired with always saying “open your dev-console and let’s see whether there be suspicious errors,… no, that is element tab, console tab is another, you can see those tabs in upper right side,… first you should have stopped the pm before,…” 😃

I made this module because my MM is in my living room, and at night it’s really bright. I found a module that would dim at sunset and brighten at sunrise, but I wanted more control than that. So I forked it and started modifying it.

With MMM-AutoDimmer, you can set schedules with a time to dim, a time to brighten, and how much to dim. You can have multiple schedules so that, for example, it dims at night and it also dims while you’re at work.

The latest version also can react to notifications. I use this in conjunction with a module for HomeAssistant. In my case, I have a schedule that is active 24/7, but only when it receives a notification that my phone is not connected to my home wi-fi. HomeAssistant knows when my phone is connected to my home wi-fi and sends a notification stating whether or not I’m connected. If I’m not connected, the schedule enables and it dims fully (essentially turning off the monitor) to save energy while I’m not home. When I reconnect to wi-fi, that schedule is disabled and it is bright again.

The Home Assistant module can be found here: https://github.com/Fifteen15Studios/MMM-homeassistant-sensors
(It’s also linked on the GitHub page for MMM-AutoDimmer)

@sdetweil The other option is to use an alternative calendar display module, like MMM-CalendarExt3Agenda which is designed for a literal billion CSS options.

@MMRIZE thank you for responding, that works well.

Description:

MMM-NotifCustomActions is a technical module designed to do the glue between modules or do simple JS function.

It reacts on module notifications.

For example, it can send a specific notification to a module or execute a shell command when another module broadcasts a notification.

JS functions can be executed on browser side or on server side (ex: shutdown).
For simple JS code, all can be written in module config; for complex JS functions 2 specific files are automatically loaded and are accessible by the module.

Example of simple configuration

This example does:

a shutdown command (node side) when notification ACTION_SHUTDOWN is received. a sent of notification PAGE_SELECT with payload "musicPage" (client side) when notification SPOTIFY_CONNECTED is received. actions: [ { notification: "ACTION_SHUTDOWN", action_node: function(self, sender, payload) { exec("sudo shutdown -h now"); } }, { notification: "SPOTIFY_CONNECTED", action_client: function(self, sender, payload) { self.sendNotification("PAGE_SELECT", "musicPage"); } }, ] Download:

Description:

This module communicates with a IT8951 card to display MagicMirror² on a e-ink screen. It opens MagicMirror² page on a Chrome browser (with Puppeteer) and observes each DOM update. Periodically, the e-ink is fully refreshed and partially refreshed on DOM update.

Partial refresh is done in a flashy way by default (that is needed to support the 16 gray levels) but if image is only B/W (without gray), the refresh mode is changed to have a direct update without flash. Another way to have a fast refresh without flash is by adding the CSS class eink-4levels to a module. Thus, the refresh is forced to 4-level gray only.

The IT8951 is typically used by some Waveshare e-paper screens.

Screenshots:

Sample of display with multiple modules:
d-screen-music.png
Each module’s area is individually updated when data changes.
All modules on 4 gray levels are updated seamlessly. Modules on 16 gray levels are updated with a flash area (here: the song cover).

Additional informations Force refresh by notification

A full refresh can be done by sending a notification IT8951_ASK_FULL_REFRESH.

Modules forced to 4 or 16 gray levels

To force gray levels, one need to add classes on modules in config file:

This class forces non flashy (but only on 4-levels gray) update of this module:

classes: "eink-4levels",

This class forces on 16-levels gray (but flashy) update of this module:

classes: "no-eink-4levels", Download:

here are the amendments to boot/config.txt file. For BULLSEYE, you have to use different parameters to make them work

these work for pi3 and pi 4

Pre BULLSEYE

Disable the PWR LED
dtparam=pwr_led_trigger=none
dtparam=pwr_led_activelow=off

Disable the Activity LED
dtparam=act_led_trigger=none
dtparam=act_led_activelow=off

Disable ethernet port LEDs
dtparam=eth_led0=4
dtparam=eth_led1=4

BULLSEYE ONLY

Disable the PWR LED
dtparam=pwr_led_trigger=default-on
dtparam=pwr_led_activelow=off

Disable the Activity LED
dtparam=act_led_trigger=none
dtparam=act_led_activelow=off

Disable Ethernet port LEDs
dtparam=eth_led0=4
dtparam=eth_led1=4

@AxLed
Hallo,
is there a way to deaktivate this Fade out? i want it olways on.
Thanks Robi

OK Sorry, i found it by my self 🙂
in MMM-Navigate.js
// this.hide(10000);

@wishmaster270 done.

@Bungle68 I put a small power strip inside the frame and power the monitor, pi and anything else requiring 110v and have one power cord out to an outlet…

@DeMaddin
Any success?

@BKeyport If you want to spin your own, take a look at Sams MMM-PythonPrint example he has posted in these forums. It can run any python script with little tweaking. It sure helped me get off the ground with this.

I’m going to flesh my OneButtons out to do many actions with just one button (or many actions with several buttons) and add the tv cec or lcd commands to sleep and wake up. And shutdown and Reboot. It can send any notification that is useful to the Mirror or modules running. I am thinking of having it do something fun like if double clicked fast… pop up a screaming halloween face… My brother likes to try to “Break” thinks. I want to give him a surprise.

I think it’s possible to do one button with maybe 6 or seven different actions. I’ve got four working so far and when I get it where I think it’s stable, I’ll put it out on git hub for some feedback.

@lavolp3 said in MMM-Keyboard (a virtual touch keyboard):

Naaaa nanana Nana Nana
You can touch this!

As part of a bigger project to build a touch kitchen dashboard, I programmed a virtual touch keyboard based on the npm module simple-keyboard.
This module can basically interact with every other module using the MM notification system!

Download:

https://github.com/lavolp3/MMM- Keyboard

Screenshots:

example screenshot

Features: working with MM’s notification system (see below), can interact with every other module you can think of! (the notification function needs to be programmed into the module) supports en and de locales, more on request standard and numeric keyboard supported Working with the Keyboard Opening the keyboard

The keyboard works with MagicMirror’s notification system. You can broadcast notifications from another module using the following parameters

this.sendNotification("KEYBOARD", { key: "uniqueKey", style: "default" });

The payload of the notification must be an object containing two parameters:
key: You can use any unique key, it is advised to use the module name. MMM-Keyboard will take the key and send it back for the module to understand it.
style: Use “default” or “numbers” here

Receiving data

As soon as you hit the “SEND!”-Button the keyboard sends back the written content using the format

this.sendNotification("KEYBOARD_INPUT", { key: "uniqueKey", message: "test" });

You can fetch this message by checking for the key component. Here an example:

notificationReceived : function (notification, payload) { if (notification == "KEYBOARD_INPUT" && payload.key === "uniqueKey") { console.log(payload.message); } }, Implemented modules MMM-Bring (PR prepared, not implemented into master yet)

Planned:

MMM-Todo an own Timer / Alarm module

For further implementations, contact me or send it as an issue here!

Thanks

Thanks to @jheyman for alpha testing and Francisco Hodges for the beautiful simple-keyboard npm module!

that is very detailed information i was looking for man thanks for sharing, love this sort of detailed information

@MMRIZE

Thank you for your quick reply!

I really appreciate you taking the time to provide an example for me to work with. Most of this makes sense, despite my lack of programming skills.

Can I use the predefined PageDown animation within the custom definition? I’d like to avoid having to remake animations you’ve already provided.

My other question is how do I set temporary identifiers to the modules so the correct animation gets pulled? I don’t think module name or classes alone will work since I need the identifier to change based upon scene selection. Nor do I want to load multiple instances of the modules as I’m already pushing the heat up a bit. Please forgive my ignorance here, I’m sure it’s already well documented, I just don’t know where to begin.

@N6NG you had to do the grep exactly Iike it I typed it, else it will return nothing…

@Riaanh this looks like being started under docker
