Really cool module , i’ve installed it, looks great!
But ummzzzh i’ve touched on the button Turn off Display, but after a restart mirror shows no display , maybe a stupid question but how can i turn it on again?

@M1K3rSz – Glad you tried it! Sorry you ran into some trouble.

To get the monitor back on:

1. Via ssh: tvservice --preferred && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chvt 7
   • Sets the HDMI output back on to preferred settings, then changes the virtual terminal off of then back on to the desktop channel. This is the same command that most modules that turn on the monitor uses.
2. Via notification sent from another module, such as MMM-Remote-Control:
   • Notification: ‘ONSCREENMENU_PROCESS_ACTION’,
     Payload: { actionName:‘monitorOn’ }

The Monitor Off menu item is best used when you have another module that wakes up the mirror (PIR sensor, button, etc.).

Is there a way to disable hovering all together? I’m using an IR frame and while it does work, the issue is with hovering and closing the menu. Clicking the close (X) icon doesnt work because the cursor is still hovering over the menu, therefore keeping the menu open. You need to click somewhere else on the screen to get it to close. I looked for a way to disable hovering all together since I think that will solve the issue, but couldnt find a way.

Hi, is there any way to register multiple items in a single button?

Something such as (and I’ve tried this ;) )…

moduleToggle1: {
    title: "TL> Clock etc",              
    icon: "eye-slash", 
    names: { 
             name: "clock", 
            name: "calendar"
    } 
},

Sorry if this is obvious, just a noob here!! Either way - this is an amazing plugin!!!

MODULE UPDATED

This module has been updated to Version 0.2.1 in the develop channel.

Major Changes:

• Removed all of the server-side functions in favor of using MMM-Remote-Control pending PR#104. When using this version, you will need to also have MMM-Remote-Control Version 2.0.0 or above installed for all functions to work. This is a strategic move to allow simplification of this module and focus on the front-end, while MMMRC handles the heavy lifting on the back-end.
• You can now use MMMRC as a menu item, or the whole menu:
  

Once the pull request is accepted for MMM-Remote-Control, this will be merged into the master branch.

Thanks for the great module, it has solved a lot of the issues I had when I was using carousel to organize my modules.

Is there a way to set a default hidden/displayed for each module in the menu when starting? I have my MM set up with the clock and a photo slideshow to always be displayed, and then I have 4 ModuleToggles set to show other information when needed (calendar, weather, etc). I would like to be able to start MM with these other modules hidden as opposed to having everything open automatically and having to close each one manually. Alternatively a timer to close modules automatically after XX seconds would work as well. That would also allow us to open a module and see the info and walk away without having to close it manually.
