Line breaks in Compliments using MMM-Remote-Control

[alfi153]

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the combination of the default compliments module and MMM-Remote-Control.

I am using the web interface of Remote-Control to set the module compliments. Some of my texts are a bit longer and I would like to split them into two lines for better visibility.

I tried using \n within the text string to force a line break, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work (it is just ignored or displayed as text).

Is there a specific syntax or a workaround to force a line break when sending updates via the Remote-Control interface?

Thanks for your help!

@alfi153 I did’t test it, but have you tried <br> ?

@KristjanESPERANTO the module splits the line with ‘\n’ into its parts. Is RC converting that text to 0x0a

@sdetweil Hi there. I’m entering the comments via the ‘Remote control’ module in the web interface. I’m wondering if it’s simply not supported through that specific module. I’ve already tried every possible variation, but unfortunately, I can’t get it to work.

@alfi153 if you add one via the config.js does it work?

I am traveling today, cannot test til I setup my system

As a side request. Can you explain what with remote control means?

I don’t see any notifications that compliments accepts to change the data. Only a remote file is supported with a refresh time.
And I don’t see any mention of compliments in the remote control
Module doc

Ps I wrote the code for line break with \n and the remote file function in the compliments module
