MMM-NotificationTrigger second trigger not working

[Arynio]

Basically, I want to use MMM-NotificationTrigger to turn my TV on and off by using the notification(MOTION_DETECTED with some value) from MMM-MotionDetector.
This is my config for MMM-NotificationTrigger:
{
module: “MMM-NotificationTrigger”,
config: {
triggers:[
{
trigger: “MOTION_DETECTED”,
fires: [
{
fire:“TURN_OFF”,
exec: “echo ‘on 0.0.0.0’ | cec-client -s -d 1”,
},
],
},
{
trigger: “TURN_OFF”,
fires: [
{
delay: 20000,
fire: “OKAY”,
exec: “echo ‘standby 0.0.0.0’ | cec-client -s -d 1”,
},
],
},
]
}

},

The turning on part works, however the second trigger never reacts to the TURN_OFF and never sends an OKAY. Am I doing something wrong ?

[sdetweil]

@arynio delay is 20 seconds… a long time

maybe try 2000

[Arynio]

@sdetweil Have tried that, but that doesn’t change anything.
My main problem is that the second trigger never reacts.
I have never seen it fire a OKAY as an answer

[sdetweil]

@arynio who is listening for the fire notification?

not in your config.

turn_off fires okay after 20 seconds

but no one is listening for it

[Arynio]

@sdetweil Yeah TURN_OFF fires fine.
MMM-NotificationTrigger is supposed to listen to its own TURN_OFF and fire again so that it will turn the screen off after a 20-second delay

[sdetweil]

@arynio add a module that reports all the notifications

my SampleModule does this
https://github.com/sdetweil/SampleModule

then open the developers window, ctrl-shift-i on the keyboard, and select the console tab to see the messages

[Arynio]

@sdetweil Can i do this via ssh or do I have to connect my keyboard to my pi?

[sdetweil]

@arynio if u set

address:“0.0.0.0”,
ipWhitelist:[],

in config.js for mm

then you can use a browser on your PC to access mm, and do the same debugging

This is what happens when motion is detected:

MMM-MotionDetector: Motion detected, score 28
MMM-NotificationTrigger.js:84 [NOTTRG] TURN_OFF is emitted.
MMM-MotionDetector.js:89 MMM-MotionDetector: Motion detected, score 29
MMM-NotificationTrigger.js:84 [NOTTRG] TURN_OFF is emitted.

So i know that there are some erros about not being able to connect but it still works fine regardless.
Still the main problem is that TURN_OFF is emitted but I never get a reaction to it from my second trigger.

[sdetweil]

@arynio said in MMM-NotificationTrigger second trigger not working:

stdout: ‘opening a connection to the CEC adapter…\nERROR: … 10208]\tcould not start CEC communications\n’,

so there was an error

did it get emitted? (NOTTRG)
does it depend on the results from exec?
( I do not know anything about module, just guessing)

do u see it on the notifications received by other modules?

[Arynio]

@sdetweil Yes the TURN_OFF gets emitted and i can see it. But MMM-NotificationTrigger doesn’t react to it, doesn’t fire the OKAY and doesnt execute the “echo ‘standby 0.0.0.0’ | cec-client -s -d 1”

@arynio
I haven’t tested. But as far as I know, a notification from the module itself would not be heard by itself to prevent infinite loop possibility.

@arynio

https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/26a76f80d63e5c9746b6db712d6901219f8b6b93/js/main.js#L97-L99

if (module !== sender && (!sendTo || module === sendTo)) {
  module.notificationReceived(notification, payload, sender);
}

module.notifcationReceived() doesn’t work when the recipient module and the sending module are the same.
A module cannot hear its voice.

If you want to use a chained shell commands with delay, make .sh file and execute it.

@mmrize Okay will do that thanks
