I have a touchscreen, would like to call up a module via a button

sdetweil

@kent there are modules that provide soft buttons… that button would send a notification to the pages module
like https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-TouchButton
to surface your Wifi page, and then it will return to the rotation

from the doc
PAGE_CHANGED int MMM-pages will switch to the provided page index.

Thank you. I have that module setup. I have a button that can turn the wifi display on and off. The way I have it configured it seems to affect only the current page. for example I put the wifi on 2 pages, and the touch module turns it off on each page individually. I’ll look at the config more. I’m glad to hear I am on the right track

@kent what is the notification you are sending

PAGE_CHANGED, 3 now, page 4 or page 1 next
PAGE_INCREMENT, from current page

All you can do is change a page,
or
stop changing pages/resume changing

I am using a simplified version of the example button config from the github page.

              config: {
                  buttons: {
                    "1": {
                      module: "all",
                      symbol: "toggle-on",
                      symbol2: "toggle-off",
                    },
                    "2": {
                      module: "MMM-2Day-NOAA-Forecast",
                      text: "Forecast on",
                      text2: "Forecast off",
                      symbol: "fas fa-sun",
                      symbol2: "far fa-sun",
                    },
                    "3": {
                      module: "MMM-WiFiPassword",
                      text: "Wifi",
                      text2: "off",
                      symbol: "fa-solid fa-wifi",
                      symbol2: "fa-thin fa-wifi",
                    },
                  }
                }

I take back some of what I said… the module I am currently using is MMM-ModuleBar. I’ll look at touchbutton again.

@kent right, that module provides buttons that show/hide A module
