    Can you confirm the get URL to hide and show all?

Hi! First of all thanks a lot for creating this awesome module, it really expands the capability of what a Magic Mirror can do.

I just wanted to point out that I had an issue turning on the screen after turn it it off using the module. I went to the “node_helper.js” file to see which function you were using:

 if (query.action === “MONITORON”)
      {
      exec(“tvservice --preferred && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chvt 7”, opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
      return true;
      }
      if (query.action === “MONITOROFF”)
      {
      exec(“tvservice -o”, opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
      return true;
      }
      This function wasn’t really working for me and it seems a bit outdated. You can go further on the reasons why on this links:

https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/52042/turning-tvservice-on-and-off-leaves-screen-blank

http://www.elinux.org/RPI_vcgencmd_usage

I just changed that code to:

      if (query.action === “MONITORON”)
      {
      exec(“vcgencmd display_power 1”, opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
      return true;
      }
      if (query.action === “MONITOROFF”)
      {
      exec(“vcgencmd display_power 0”, opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
      return true;
      }

And everything seems to work perfectly for me now. I’m using a Raspberry pi 1 and Midori as a web browser. 

My question is, would you be able to implement this changes in order to solve this issue for another users? (and also to keep my same valid configuration in case of an update)

Thanks!

        I have not been able to work on anything mentioned here, yet, but at least got out a release with a few cool contributions by other people, and a few simple fixes and additions. I do not know when I will be able to look at your questions and issues, but maybe in one or two weeks (especially turning display on and off apparently works much better with the vcgencmd command). If anyone is reading is this in the hopes of finally getting an answer from me, please feel free to post again and remind me, if have not been able to solve it yourself.

        Here is the change log:

        [1.1.4] - 2017-09-17

        Added

        • Dutch translation
        • Updating a module tries to install dependencies with npm install
        • Module identifier is shown if a module is locked with lock strings
        • Confirmation dialog before restart and shutdown

        Fixed

        • Internal save file format and mistakenly hiding modules which were hidden by other modules
        • Restart should work for new installations

        Changed

        • German translation for power menu changed from “Ausschalten” to “Energieoptionen”

            So, I’m having a really unexpected bug, where this module somehow negates my custom CSS for the header color of all modules. No idea how/why, but when the page first loads, it’s fine, but as the last of the modules (including this one) load and are activated, the color suddenly snaps back to the default #aaa.

            I know for certain it’s this module, since disabling it in the config fixed the header issue. I think this was introduced in the newest update, but I’m not 100% for-sure positive. I do know it started right around the most recent release date though.

              Hello, excellent module. I have built the translation file into Spanish: es.json
              you want it?

                @pepebc Sure. Can you make a PR?

                @pyrosmiley Did you start using the brightness adjustment? That definitely overrides brightness of headers and text. Maybe reset to default? That should solve the problem.

                  This module is great - a couple items related to support for the ‘official 7" pi touchscreen’
                  I can probably code this up and submit a PR if you want - the on/off is easy to do because that is already in the helper. Brightness would need to get moved to the helper away from the CSS tricks.

                  It is interesting that controlling the brightness of a monitor itself over HDMI is surprisingly non-existent, but the 7" touchscreen h/w rev: 1.1 does indeed support direct brightness manipulation:

                  You can control the brightness of the backlight itself by:

                  echo X > /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/brightness
                  

                  where X is a value between 0 and 255

                  And you can turn off the backlight with

                  echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/bl_power
                  

                  and turn it back on with:

                  echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/rpi_backlight/bl_power
                  

                  Earle

                    @Jopyth I didn’t think I had (actually I don’t think I ever even noticed it!) but I guess I bumped into it just enough to change the value. All good now. Thanks!
