    @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"}

                have installed the module, just small maybe stupid question. (i have no skills in electronics)
                when you talk about pin 24, pin 25, do you mean GPIO24 - GPIO25 ?

                  Hello Power Users,

                  i also have a problem with MMM-Buttons, that Buttonpress is only sometimes recognized if i press twice or triple.

                  Intension:
                  I want to change MMM-Pages with to buttons, to move left/right through my pages.
                  MMM-Remote-Control is set up and works.
                  Moving through pages work bei MMM-Remote-Control Links and sendnotification.

                  My setup:
                  Raspberry 1 B+
                  2 Buttons (circuit closed when pressed)
                  connected between 1: GND an BCM26; 2: GND and BMC20
                  I tested the buttons with a python script an they are recognized

                  I searched this forum and still have some questions.

                  1. Do Buttons on GND work or do i have to put them on +3,3V with a resistor instead?
                  2. how do i use activeLow in MMM-Buttons Configuration? … activeLow: true ?

                  Looking forward getting some tips.

                  Regards AxLed

                    i also have a problem with MMM-Buttons, that Buttonpress is only sometimes recognized if i press twice or triple.

                    Maybe play around with the min and max Presstime.

                    connected between 1: GND an BCM26; 2: GND and BMC20
                    I tested the buttons with a python script an they are recognized

                    Wondering that this works with the module… when u press the Button the gpio would be set to low which is equal to 0.

                    1. Do Buttons on GND work or do i have to put them on +3,3V with a resistor instead?
                    2. how do i use activeLow in MMM-Buttons Configuration? … activeLow: true ?

                    Afaik this isn’t possible through the module. Maybe u find a solution in the web, fo how changing the input state detection.

                    And yes, u should use resistors for giving the GPIO a defined state when not pressing. When u don’t want to connect them physically (but i recommend) u could use the internal resistors (check below on this site http://wiringpi.com/the-gpio-utility/)

                    So normal way (or the way i used) is to connect the button like this:

                      @cruunnerr
                      Thanks for the tips, you made my day, it works now.
                      What i did: Changed the wiring from negativ (GND) to 3.3V (with resistor) as shown on picture of cruunnerr wiring diagram.

                      No i try to get a rotary switch and got it working, as i need some WAF (Woman acceptance faktor) for my mirror.

                      Regards
