[Remote-Control] Shutdown, Configure and Update your MagicMirror

m0111k

@jopyth in light of topic resurrection, I’m looking into creating multiple functions for my pi’s. I’m using MMM-NetworkScanner and MMM-Remote-Control. The idea is like follows:

When I leave home, my mobile goes offline from home network. I’m looking for a command to enable camera (reboot y/n) to enable another project I’d like to combine with this. (Pi Camera Notifier: https://iotbreaks.com/build-a-camera-alert-application-with-raspberrypi-3-and-iosandroid-pushbullet-app/) turning it into a security cam. The commands available in the readme of MMM-RC didnt hand me a clue for further investigations

I’d love to see these work in conjunction that’d give it a whole new dimension :)

Same error as above but in English. Def restarts MM with no issue but MM RM displays error oddly?

robiv8

Nobody an idea?
Now the notification does not work anymore! Somehow I have the feeling that this block any other modules.
You can send but it does not matter! Also no error message.

@Jopyth What Happen? and how to solve it?

robiv8

I have the impression that Jopyth does not have time to maintain the module. Last answer here was 9 months ago.
Too bad, is an excellent module

@jopyth I’ve done the Italian translation if you would like to add it. ;)

Hi everyone, these is a new version, lots of credit goes to @shbatm for this. Please give it a try and see if it fixed the various issues. There are also better error messages, which might help us narrow down the problem. Without further ado, this is the changelog:

[2.0.0] - 2019-02-21

Huge shoutout to shbatm for his work on this new major version, which brings a new API, custom menus and commands and lots of other stuff:

Added

REST API interface for controlling all aspects of the MagicMirror from HTTP RESTful-style GET and POST calls, based on principles from MMM-Api
- Full API Documentation at API/README.md
Live daily updates of modules.json from the MagicMirror wiki, based on principles from MMM-Remote-Control-Repository.
Incorporated some features found in MMM-OnScreenMenu that were not originally in this module.
- Monitor (Connected Screen) On-Off Status and Toggle
- Delayed calls (“DELAYED” Query option and .../delay API paths)
- If using Electron: Open Dev Tools, Minimize, Toggle Fullscreen
Configuration Option to send custom shell commands to use. Currently, only custom monitor on/off/status commands are supported.
Module Control menu - Automatically generated from the API to control the different modules you have installed, based on their notificationReceived function.
Custom menu items. See Custom Menu Items in README
Norsk bokmål translation

Changed

Updates to remote.html and the node_helper.js to use direct SocketIO communication back and forth instead of separate HTTP calls.
- Future framework for following PM2 logs and more live update options.
General clean-up and standardization of status reporting for GET and POST calls, to original URLs and to new API URLs.
Updated to ES2015 (ES Version 6) function calls in most locations.
Added USER_PRESENCE controls from AgP42
Added/updated french translations from BKeyport and Mysh3ll
Added SHOW/HIDE/TOGGLE ALL modules option per request from Rene1709

Upcoming Changes

Add additional MMM-OnScreenMenu features:
- Moving modules’ positions
PM2 Log Follower / Terminal Window
Added Notification Echo option to config to echo all Module Notifications to the remote’s DevTools console for debugging.
Allow for text input in the Module Controls menu to be able to provide a notification payload.

Thanks for doing all the work. Just upgraded. However I had problems before waking and sleeping the screen and before I was able to change this in the node_helper.js to use:

vcgencmd display_power 1 instead of tvservice. The command works via ssh but when I tried to change like below the screens sleeps but I can not wake it up via the remote.html menu. Anyone with the same problem?

 monitorControl: function(action, opts, res) {
            let status = "unknown";
            let monitorOnCommand = (this.initialized && "monitorOnCommand" in this.thisConfig.customCommand) ?
                this.thisConfig.customCommand.monitorOnCommand :
                "sudo vcgencmd display_power 1";
            let monitorOffCommand = (this.initialized && "monitorOffCommand" in this.thisConfig.customCommand) ?
                this.thisConfig.customCommand.monitorOffCommand :
                "vcgencmd display_power 0";
            let monitorStatusCommand = (this.initialized && "monitorStatusCommand" in this.thisConfig.customCommand) ?
                this.thisConfig.customCommand.monitorStatusCommand :
                "vcgencmd display_power --status";
            if (["MONITORTOGGLE", "MONITORSTATUS", "MONITORON"].indexOf(action) !== -1) {
                screenStatus = exec(monitorStatusCommand, opts, (error, stdout, stderr) => {

@jopyth I would love to give it a try, but I need first to replace the monitor on/off commands with more suitable CEC commands (I use the cec-utils package) as I have a TV instead. :)

Please tell me what do I have to edit to use the following commands?

Turn tv on: echo on 0 | cec-client -s -d 1

Turn tv off: echo standby 0 | cec-client -s -d 1

Tv status: echo pow 0 | cec-client -s -d 1
