      @B4rth Please note that a notification never has a dedicated receiver. It is always a broadcast to all other modules. But sending notifications should definitely work with the module. Is your button working? If you are struggling with the correct URL for sending notifications, you can use this fiddle to build the correct URL.

      The below config should be a simple example for showing an alert (it sends a notification to all modules and the alert module reacts to it):

      {
          module: 'MMM-Buttons',
          config: {
              buttons: [
                  {
                      pin: 25,
                      name: "test_button",
                      longPress: {
                          notification: "SHOW_ALERT",
                          payload: {"title": "Hello World", "message": "Long Press!"}
                      },
                      shortPress: {
                          notification: "SHOW_ALERT",
                          payload: {"title": "Hello World", "message": "Short Press!"}
                      }
                  }
              ]
          }
      },
      

      Make sure to check that you are using the correct pin number and change the notification config, if you want another module to react.

        Hey guys…

        Is it me or having this module + ProfileSwitcher + Facial are not working well together.

        I have no issue using the buttons + ProfileSwitcher as I can toggle between profile! Facial recognize me but switch to nothing…

          @PointPubMedia Did you check out this section? There are some changes needed to make both work together smoothly.

            Hi…i am a new user here. In my case sing a python test program i can see every single instance of my button press is registered instantly. But in the mirror it seems MMM-Buttons doesnt register pushes unless sometimes I double or triple click.

              @RickyTerzis I released changes from the development branch, can you try experimenting with the new activeLow setting? Maybe you used the inverse wiring to the one I anticipated?

                Hi, @Jopyth, great job on all modules that you developed. They’re great!
                I`m trying to send a hide module action to the MMM-Remote-Control module in order to hide the clock (I already know that the id is module_2_clock).

                I can’t get it to work with MMM-Buttons. The button is working (worked with an alert), but I think that I doing the wrong thing on the parameters of the HIDE module action.

                           {
                            pin: 5,
                            name: "HideClock",
                            shortPress: {
                               title: "Hide clock Test",
                                notification: "REMOTE_ACTION",
                                payload: {"action": "HIDE", "identifier": "module_2_clock"}
                            },
                            longPress: undefined
                        }
                

                Can you or someone give me a clue?
                I’d be greateful, thanks!

                  @pedroken I think you almost got it, just use module instead of identifier:
                  payload: {"action": "HIDE", "module": "module_2_clock"}
