MMM-Remote-Control Alternative

[Dennys1]

hi,
I would like to make Home Assistant installed on a second Raspberry send a command to RemoteControl to go to a specific page (e.g. Page3) of MM,
maybe there are other ways but I don’t know them

@Dennys1 as you have home assistant, and probably use mqtt for other devices
use this
https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-MQTTbridge

and on the HA side see this, for example
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/publish-mqtt-from-an-automation/58967

@Dennys1 I have another mirror project I support, and added code to auto register a device as a switch with HA . then I can turn on/off in automation.

I use a nodered registered alexa device to trigger my ‘good night’ automation which locks the doors, turns off the lights and turns off the screen of the mirror in the hall (over mqtt)

@Dennys1 Sam’s got the best idea for you. There’s other ways to do it, but that by far is the easiest.

I’ve actually run into the same initial issue as the author. When mmm-googleassistant and mmm-remote-control are both installed it automcially closes magicmirror.

Any ideas?

@atwist the googleassistant author has coded it that way don’t know why.
