Hello,

I am using your module what is really great and works perfectly fine on my side.

I configure it to allow some others fonctions, after finding out that the fonctions from the module “MMM-Remote-Control” can be used on your navigation module. I also read part of the “node_helper.js” of this module to try to find out the possibilities avaliable.

This allow me to add the ability of “refresh” and “monitoroff” and “monitoron” on my navigation menu :

                {
                        module: "MMM-Navigate",
                        header: "Navigation",
                        position: "middle_center",
                        config: {
                                        Alias: [
                                                'Changer de Page (Press puis rotation)',
                                                'Luminosité écran (Press puis rotation)',
                                                'Afficher adresse Remote',
                                                'Ecran off/on (Press puis rotation)',
                                                'Recharger affichage',
                                                'Redemarrer le MagicMirror',
                                                'Reboot RPI',
                                                'Shutdown RPI'
                                        ],
                                        Action: [
                                                [{notification:'PAGE_INCREMENT',payload:''},{notification:'PAGE_DECREMENT',payload:''}],//action array, first press locks menu, after this rotation CW/CCW executes, second press release lo$
                                                [{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "BRIGHTNESS&value=100"}},{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "BRIGHTNESS&value=50"}}],
                                                {notification: "SHOW_ALERT", payload: {type:"notification",message:"http://192.168.xx.xx:8080/remote.html"}},//single action, execute on press
                                                [{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "MONITOROFF"}},{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "MONITORON"}}],
                                                {notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "REFRESH"}},
                                                {notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "RESTART"}},
                                                {notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "REBOOT"}},
                                                {notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "SHUTDOWN"}}
                                        ],
                                        GPIOPins: [26,20,19]//rotary cw, rotary ccw, rotary press (BCM Numbering)
                                        },
                },

But then I tried 2 others improvment that I couln’t fullfill :

• change the timer value to display the notification : to do so I add the value “timer” for the notification :

 {notification: "SHOW_ALERT", payload: {type:"notification",message:"http://192.168.xx.xx:8080/remote.html",timer: 15}},

But this had no impact…

• add the possibility to change the brightness of the screen directly from the navigation menu, to do so I tried :

[{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "BRIGHTNESS&value=100"}},{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "BRIGHTNESS&value=50"}}],

but also :

[{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "BRIGHTNESS", value:100}},{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "BRIGHTNESS", value:50}}],

but no way to make it work…

Would you have any advice how to realize such fonctions ?

Thank you in advance,

[AxLed]

Hi,

thanks for your request, i checked my code and can give you a solution for the brightness issue.
I found out, that it seems to be a problem with MMM-Remote-Control, node_helper.js

But there is a workaround:
Replace line 618
res.send({"status": "success"});
through
if (res) { res.send({"status": "success"}); }

Thanks to glitch452 who found the error, details see:
https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control/issues/76

Sample code for config.js, Module MMM-Navigate:

{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "BRIGHTNESS", value: "200"}},

Great ! Thank you so much !

But as said on the link you gave :

@axled said in MMM-Navigate, Navigation inside MagicMirror with Rotary Encoder:

Thanks to glitch452 who found the error, details see:
https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control/issues/76

the line to replace is

res.send({"status": "success"});

and not

 self.sendSocketNotification(query.action, query.value);

Then it is working perfectly !

@AgP42
You are right, i told you the wrong line, i corrected my thread above.
I am glad it is working on your MM as needed.

Hi,

i installed this module with the Rotary Encoder KY-040. Scroll through navigation work fine, but nothing happened, when I press the button on the encoder.

Test with Url (yourmmip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=PRESSED) works fine.

What could be the problem ??

@Eisblume
Did you use the right Pin (either in config or on the pi) for the ‘press’ signal of the rotary encoder?
Is the module MMM-Remote-Control installed and working?
