How do all of you controle (/interact with) your MagicMirror modules?

[sdetweil]

i think you could use voice to advance pages… see MMM-Voice and Hello-Lucy modules

@sdetweil yep you can but if I ever figured out to do pages I would have suggested that 🥺😢 I’ve got voice working but pages with Lucy I’m lost😭

[sdetweil]

@dazza120 if u look at the hello-lucy module file, you can see the comnands.

Hello-lucy is really show and hide.

So, show page two. Etc

@sdetweil yeah, I had it but couldn’t figure out how to do pages even tho I went through that read me file a couple of times 😂 I just couldn’t figure it out 😢

You can integrate one or more button into your mirror frame to do all sorts of things. Wire them up to the GPIO and you can use MMM-Buttons, for example, to have them do things.

My mirror has one buttons. When in powered off mode, the button starts up the Pi. When MagicMirror is running, a single press restarts MM, and a long press shuts the pi down. You could similarly have a button to cycle from one page to the next with each button press, or several buttons to do very specific things.

Hi, I can help you get one module working with Hello Lucy. This should be enough for you to do others on your own. Sound good? Let me know.

I just have added Lucy to my “modules to add” list!:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
I’ll try to figure it out myself first (that’s the most fun) If not… @Mykle1 Is it okay to send you a message?

[dazza120]

@mykle1 does it sound good it sounds great! The farthest that I got was install the three new files in the MMM-voice folder. The other stuff like adding the pages and modules blow my tiny mind. Help would be much appreciated

Sure, you can message me, but why not create a topic (ex Hello-Lucy Help) where I can post the help for you. Then, everyone else can see and use the examples posted there. Yeah, I like that idea. You create the topic, explain your needs, and we’ll get you up and running.

@dazza120

Read the post above this one. Same goes for you. One of you create the topic and explain what you’ve done so far and we’ll go from there
