      @AxLed Thanks. I used that module as a reference and ran the commands manually…it still takes a long time BUT at least using a sensor could help a user more easily activate it.

      Can I ask what sensor your are using?

              I developed https://github.com/thobach/MMM-Gestures for that purpose which takes care of both:

              • power saving with an infrared distance sensor
              • gesture control to toggle between MMM-pages, news, show news details and scroll through news page

              It works with well for me, but needs some hardware: Arduino, gesture sensor, IR sensor.
