how can you enter commands while the mirror is running?

they are all in the same wifi because i disabled 5Ghz.
the sudo netstat -a -p | grep 1900 shows nothing while the mirror isnt running.
i allowed all ipś and tried it with that page indicator and page module.
does it normal work as standalone or do i need more modules?

Michael Schw.

maybe i have to update something?
but how do i update magicmirror, the modules, etc.??
should the extra line of debug code end with nothing or a , or a ; ?
i added the debugging now (with nothing at the end of that extra line) and it shows this:

@sdetweil
Do you need anything else from the config.js file?

sdetweil

@Michael-Schw one of those discovery cycles should have returned new devices found

if you use Alexa phone app to look at devices, are they there? monitor, shutdown, restart?

Alexa echo devices only connect at 2.4ghz, so I don’t know what happens if a device I 5ghz only. will it get the ssdp query?

sdetweil

i redid my discovery and notice this

@sdetweil i did try to find it on my phone…and it worked but it cant do a thing.
i found : restart Spiegel pm2
spiegel refresh
Spiegel Monitor
stop Spiegel pm2

which one does what?
and can i speak german to alexa and can rename these names?
everytime i tried Spiegel Monitor, what i believe is the toggle function it says:please configure the option vcgencmd.
so do i have to put in this option vcgencmd instead of true?
this is all i got:

@Michael-Schw said in MMM-AlexaControl or MMM-AlexaOn/Off setup:

restart Spiegel pm2
spiegel refresh
Spiegel Monitor
stop Spiegel pm2

these names are device names.

remember these are plugs, so the command is alex turn on (device name) , or alexa turn off (device name)

there is a file in the translations directory for changing the device names… and language

mine looks like

{
    "PAGE": "page ",
    "REFRESH": "refresh mirror",
    "RESTART": "restart mirror",
    "STOP": "stop mirror",
    "REBOOT": "reboot mirror",
    "SHUTDOWN": "shutdown mirror",
    "MONITOR": "mirror"
}

my extension to this was to put the name between any 2 words
reboot mirror = reboot [name] mirror

my mirrors are named,
office, hall, desk, desktop, catalina, nano

I changed Monitor to Mirror
(and also provided deviceName:??? in config)

so I can say

alexa turn off hall mirror

U would say (unless u change the translations file, and redo disocvery, I think u have to delete the devices to get new name used)
alexa turn off spiegel monitor

alexa turn on spiegel refresh

some of the verbiage is hard, but best u can do with on/off switches

from the README.md


### Control devices
These are configured devices you can use. If you want to change their name you must edit the translation file inside `/translations/en.json`. You can also add languages. 

| Option            | Description
| ----------------- | -----------
| `refresh`         | This refreshs your Mirror. <br> ***Default value:*** `true` <br> ***Possible value:*** `true` and `false`
| `restart`         | This restarts your Mirror with PM2. So make sure the `pm2ProcessName` is right. <br> ***Default value:*** `true` <br> ***Possible values:*** `true` and `false`
| `stop`            | This stops your Mirror with PM2. So make sure the `pm2ProcessName` is right. <br> ***Default value:*** `true` <br> ***Possible values:*** `true` and `false`
| `reboot`          | This reboots your Pi. <br> ***Default value:*** `false` <br> ***Possible values:*** `true` and `false`
| `shutdown`        | This shutdowns your Pi. ***Note:*** When you shutdown the Pi your devices aren't available. So you must start your Pi manually. <br> ***Default value:*** `false` <br> ***Possible values:*** `true` and `false`
| `monitorToggle`   | This can switch your monitor on and off. Make sure the used command work for you. Look at the option `vcgencmd` <br> ***Default value:*** `true` <br> ***Possible values:*** `true` and `false`

devices not found

1. Devices not found: <br>
    * Make sure that your Alexa and Pi are in the same Wifi. I had also the problem that my Pi was in the 2.4GHz Wifi and my Alexa in the 5GHz Wifi. It's only a problem when you discover the devices. To solve the problem disable one of the Wifis for a moment or turn the Wifi on your Pi on and off till it works.

    * Have you used the port before? Try every devices from the mirror. Probably the name is wrong. If that happen delete the device and discover for new devices. Define yourself ports for notification and custom devices to prevent this problem.

NOT in the readme

the startPort MUST BE different for each MagicMirror device

the discovery records the ip address and port for each device, when an action is required, alexa send a web request to that ip and port. (which the module handles)

Michael Schw.

@sdetweil thank you for the help btw!!!

ok i figured out that my tv which i use as the display (Samsung LE-32 C530) has HDMI-CEC so i tried it with that and it works after i installed the cec module.
its just a shame that the tv needs 15 seconds to boot (EVERYTIME!!) and i cant disable the pop up on start which shows the source and the hdmi port used.

How can i stop the standby mode for the raspberry pi? because if the screen is off for a certain time and i turn it on again it shows me a blank black screen until i press a button or mouve the mouse (which i don want to have connected later on).

How can i make the mirror to autostart on booting the raspberry?

I have no shutdown command. Can i safley turn off the pi with this? and if yes, how do i get it?

I really wanna make this thing work perfectly. i even thinking of adding an ir frame to make it touchscreen =)
