MMM-ProfileSwitcher, A Profile/User/Layout Switching Module

A Former User

Hey Tosti, thanks for the fast reply. Your help is warmly welcome.

As you can see in the minimal example I’m only try to get MMM-ProfileSwitcher to work. The other module is not in my minimal config since I want to isolate the issue. :question:

Of course I have read the usage instruction you mentioned in your link, but your MMM will come first this MMM will come second. True story. It’s a fact. (it was only a try to see wether this works or not :smirk: ).

I’m looking forward to hear from you.

Btw: My next steps would be to set up a new raspbian image and install everything from scratch with just your MMM. But this is a bit of effort and I don’t want to do this if there are any options left.

Regards
Patrick

@PatrickGlatz
I just gave it a look and I know what’s wrong. The problem is that the code only looks at those times when switching to a different profile than the default profile. So it’s not a fault on your side but on mine.
Solution: I already solved it on my local pc and will upload the fix ~~later today~~ uploaded. All you will have to do is pull the new changes and the config you showed should work without a problem :)

Sorry for the inconvenience, a mistake on my part. Thank you for letting me know!

Greetings

Hi! Thanks for this module, seems it is what I’m looking for.
Unfortunately, I very new with all this and wolud like to know if there is a step by step guide for this, for example, if I want so show the clock and the wheather in one profile, and in other news feed… is this possible?

Kind regards

tosti007

@pepemujica Yes this is totally possible! Unfortunatly there is no step by step guide for this. However I did write a small how-to here.

In your example you would have to give the weather and clock module the same profile name in classes and give the news feed a different one.

Is that link enough information? If not let me know and I will try to explain it more in depth.

pepemujica

@tosti007 Thanks for answering, at the moment, can’t find where to change the profile name in classes, is it in a specific file?

tosti007

@pepemujica You can set them in your config file. In this example the profile will be TestA for the clock module.

{
	module: 'clock',
	position: 'top_right',
	classes: 'TestA'
},

@tosti007 Great! I got it. Is this module compatible with MMM-Voice? So I can change between profiles just with voice?

tosti007

@pepemujica Unfortunatly not, that’s up to the maker of MMM-Voice. It would be easiest to ask him to implement it for you, writing a tutorial for it would probably be too complicated.

pepemujica

@tosti007 And is it there any way to use it with the remote control? I mean, I’ve seen in the forum people who could do it, but I can’t figure how

Anhalter42

If you have installed MMM-Remote-Control and set up some classes (e.g. “default”, “someclass”), then you can switch between them by calling these URLs:

http://[RaspberryURL]:[port]/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=CURRENT_PROFILE&payload=%22default%22
http://[RaspberryURL]:[port]/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=CURRENT_PROFILE&payload=%22someclass%22

(Remove the whitespace between & and notification. “& not” gets converted to ¬ and i dont know how to prevent this :D)

pepemujica

@Anhalter42 said in MMM-ProfileSwitcher, A Profile/User/Layout Switching Module:

?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=CURRENT_PROFILE&payload=%22default%22

Awesome!!
And is it possible to add a shortcut in the control menu so there is no need to acces via url?

pepemujica

@Anhalter42 because I’ve added this
Custom

In the mirror it goes to the Custom profile, but in the remote control it goes to “{“status”:“success”}”

Anhalter42

yeah this is the response from MMM-Remote-Control. You can do anything with this; your browser decides to plainly display it as text: “status”: “success”. Of course in this case, you usually want to just send the command and don’t receive anything. So in general, if you don’t want to see a response like this, have a look at for example Submit form and stay on same page and especially jQuery / XMLHttpRequest.

If you want it to be integrated in the Remote-Control menu (the /remote.html), you have to add it yourself or request it from the developer of the MMM-Remote-Control module (unlikely though). It’s similar to the existing options like show/hide modules etc., so it isn’t that difficult to implement.

pepemujica

@Anhalter42 Ok, I’ll take a look at this. I’m not good at developing, so I don’t think I could get it, but I’ll try.

Thanks!

tosti007

@pepemujica So you have it working now? Sorry I haven’t been online recently.
@Anhalter42 Thank you for your help!

pepemujica

@tosti007 Yes, I’ve got something like this:

<a id="link">Profile</a>



document.getElementById("link").addEventListener("click", function(){
    const ventana = window.open("localhost/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=CURRENT_PROFILE&payload=%22default%22");
    setTimeout(function(){
        ventana.close();
    }, 5000); /* 5 Segundos*/
});

Hey there, perhaps I am really too stupid,. I can’t get it to run. I have this config:

{
            module: "MMM-ProfileSwitcher",
            config: {
				//includeEveryoneToDefault: true,
				title: true,
				enterMessages: {
					"you me": "Hey %profile%!",
					"me": ["looking great!"], 
					"you": ["looking great!"], 
				},
				leaveMessages: {
					"everyone": "C U %person%!", 
					"me": ["Hey why gone...?", true] 
				},
				timers: {
   				 "you": {},
   				 "me": {},
						},
				enterMessages: false,
				leaveMessage: false,
        			},
        },

and a modulbar that point out this:

"5": {
                       module: "MMM-ProfileSwitcher",
                       text: "you",
                       showUrl: "http://ip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION¬ification=CURRENT_PROFILE&payload=%22you%22",
                       },

but if I hid the bottom, nothing happens!
Think I am missing something. Do I need to set anything else off? My default view is quit perfect and loading, so yes I added the classes for the modules.

classes: 'me',

Thank You in advance !
Jimmy

@Binog For me, the config looks fine. Just to be sure: you actually replaced “ip” in your URL with the actual IP, did you?

Binog

yes, yes,. of course. the two buttons don’t work. the default does work,. and if I say default = you then I get the modules for You,. so that is no problem. but clicking on the bottom does not change a thing, other bottoms do work fine,…
