Can we add additional cmdSwitch2 platform for other shell command? If so, module controlling could be added besides screen on/off

Yes! Absolutely. Just add this to the “switches” sections.

{
    "name" : "Name of the HomeKit command",
    "on_cmd": "bash command to show a module",
    "off_cmd": "bash command to hide a module",
    "state_cmd": "bash command to get the hide / show status'",
    "manufacturer": "Raspberry Pi Foundation",
    "model": "Raspberry Pi 3 Model B",
}

Your config.json should look something like this.

"platforms": [{
  "platform": "cmdSwitch2",
  "name": "Raspberry Pi",
  "switches": [{
    "name" : "Mirror",
    "on_cmd": "tvservice --preferred && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chvt 7",
    "off_cmd": "tvservice -o",
    "state_cmd": "tvservice --status | grep -i 'HDMI DMT'",
    "manufacturer": "Raspberry Pi Foundation",
    "model": "Raspberry Pi 3 Model B",
  },
  {
    "name" : "Name of the HomeKit command",
    "on_cmd": "bash command to show a module",
    "off_cmd": "bash command to hide a module",
    "state_cmd": "bash command to get the hide / show status'",
    "manufacturer": "Raspberry Pi Foundation",
    "model": "Raspberry Pi 3 Model B",
  }]
}]

Excellent module!

Got everything working fairly easily. I am attempting to add my own switches, but the issues I am having is that the “on_cmd” and “off_cmd” do not use npm correctly. Any ideas? This is the error it’s throwing. Didn’t have luck Googling.

Okay, looks like something with my npm was broken. It was working before, so I think installing this module or Homebridge did it. Attempting to fix.

Excellent module!

Hello ! Thank you for that compliment.
Unfortunately, I don’t know where your problem comes from. What is the command you are executing that gives you this error?
Keep me informed :wink:

@XC2DN
My Homebridge is at another Pi then the Mirror. How I have to use it?

Caimin

@Niggich Making connection to the other pi through ssh to send commands? Or if your using a module which allows to give commands through a url u can use curl… In this example I use both…

 {
       "name" : "Magic Mirror",
       "on_cmd": "curl -s 'http://192.168.X.XX:8080/remote?action=MONITORON'",
       "off_cmd": "curl -s 'http://192.168.X.XX:8080/remote?action=MONITOROFF'",
       "state_cmd": "sshpass -p 'sshpassword' ssh -oStrictHostKeyChecking=no pi@192.168.X.XX vcgencmd display_power | grep -q '1' && echo '1'",
       "polling": true,
       "interval": 10,
       "manufacturer": "XXX",
       "model": "v 1.0.0"
   }

You might need to install sshpass: apt-get install sshpass, which allows you to connect through ssh with password without being prompted on the command line for the password.

Niggich

@Caimin Thank you a lot. It is working like this. I install sshpass to send the Commands via ssh.

Hi!

I need a little help setting it up…
When turning on the mirror in the HomeKit App I get the following log:

[2020-3-29 22:26:16] [Raspberry Pi] Mirror is off.
[2020-3-29 22:26:17] [Raspberry Pi] Failed to turn on Mirror
[2020-3-29 22:26:17] [Raspberry Pi] 
Als het goed is hebt u de gebruikelijke informatie ontvangen van uw
systeembeheerder. Gewoonlijk komt het neer op de volgende drie punten:

    1. Respecteer de privacy van anderen.
    2. Denk na voordat u iets doet.
    3. Veel mogelijkheden betekent veel verantwoordelijkheid.

sudo: geen terminal aanwezig en geen wachtwoordvraag(askpass)-programma opgegeven

sudo: no terminal available and no  passwordask(askpass) programs gave up.

If anyone knows a solution, would be appreciated!
