[MMM-OnScreenMenu] Simple On-Screen Menu for controlling the MagicMirror²

My recommendation would be to use something like MMM-Carousel w/ Navigation to put everything in different slides. You can set the timeout to 0 to keep it on the slide you have chosen, and then add menu items to jump to each slide (this is what I use on one of my mirrors, combined with MMM-KeyBindings to allow control from a bluetooth remote).

This is how I initially had by mirror set up. However I ran into issues with a php form I had in MMM-iFrame-Ping not working correctly. The form worked fine displayed on its own, but I was never able to get the submit buttons to work properly when it was a part of the Carousel. That led me to your module where the form has worked perfectly.

Beginner question!
With the module “Remote Control” you enter the address in the browser xxx:8080/remote.html
Then you have the menu.
How does it work with OnScreenMenu, or does not work there.
Thanks

@robiv8 OnScreenMenu puts a little floating button on your mirror (either visible always, or only visible when you hover over that corner) and gives you a menu on the mirror’s screen itself. The new version has an option to use MMM-Remote-Control and basically takes a small mini version of the “/remote.html” page and puts it in an iFrame on the MIrror’s screen.

Basically – Remote Control is a remote (phone, another computer, etc.) and OSM is for the actual mirror, if you have a touchscreen, or use a mouse, keyboard, or physical remote (w/ MMM-KeyBindings).

Thanks for the explanation

I just installed Magic Mirror and still learning all the idiosyncrasies of the system. I installed the OnScreenMenu (stable) version and I just found this forum topic. I see there is a new version in the developer channel.

Can I install the developer version (0.2) on top of the current version? How would I completely remove the older version if I have to?

Thanks for all the great work!

You can simply rename the current folder in the MagicMirror/modules folder. Then install the developer version. If that works well for you then you can delete the previous folder that you renamed. If the new version does not work for you then you can remove the new version folder and rename the previous version folder back to the way it was.

Firstly, thank you for providing us this fantastic module!

I have a position question: when I set a bottom_right position for it, your module button layout is as following:

When I set a bottom_right position for another module, for example, mm-hide-all, but the layout is as following:

If I’d like to place my another module mm-hide-all at that position, which your MMM-OnScreenMenu is on, how shall I do? Could you give me some suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
