@dinkybluebug245 hey nice work! What did you change in the remote control module to switch between partymodus and normal?

dinkybluebug245

@schlachtkreuzer6 In Nodehelper.js - I changed lines 104-117. I didnt need the option of monitor on and off, as I have a PIR sensor attached to my display.

if (query.action === 'MONITORON')
		{
			exec('cp ../MagicMirror/css/party_custom.css ../MagicMirror/css/custom.css', opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
			exec('cp ../MagicMirror/config/party_config.js ../MagicMirror/config/config.js', opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
			exec('pm2 restart mm', opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
			return true;
		}
		if (query.action === 'MONITOROFF')
		{
			exec('cp ../MagicMirror/css/normal_custom.css ../MagicMirror/css/custom.css', opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
			exec('cp ../MagicMirror/config/normal_config.js ../MagicMirror/config/config.js', opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
			exec('pm2 restart mm', opts, function(error, stdout, stderr){ self.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res); });
			return true;
		}

As the functions had changed, I then changed the text displayed in the app , by changing the text in the remote.html file. Line 80- 87

               <div id="monitor-on-button" class="menu-element button main-menu">
                    <span class="fa fa-fw fa-glass" aria-hidden="true"></span>
                    <span class="text">Party Mode</span>
                </div>
                <div id="monitor-off-button" class="menu-element button main-menu">
                    <span class="fa fa-fw fa-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></span>
                     <span class="text">Calendar Mode</span>
                </div>```

Bangee

yawns

@nobita
Please take a look at his css file, escpacially this part:

.calendar, div#module_2_MMM-WunderGround table.small {
	background-color: rgba(63, 182, 236, 0.23);
    border-radius: 10px;
	padding: 10px;
	box-shadow: 5px 5px 5px 1px #d3d3d3;
	
}

Add these to your custom.css file and play around with it

Could you please write a more detailed Readme file on how to install and how to make adjustments to MMM-Remote-Control? I’d like to do this for a display in my kitchen as well but I’m a NOOB and some of the stuff you mention just doesn’t make sense to me. Thanks.

I really like what you’ve done here, and am looking to do something similar.
I’ve got a touchscreen monitor so firstly wondering if I can have them on different pages and swipe between them.

I would also like this if I could have a slideshow playing and then when music played on my sonos speakers then that module would show instead of the slideshow, or over the top of?

Anyone have any ideas?
