MMM-GroveGesture to control MMM-Carousel & MMM-CECControl

jim.dw

Hi All, new to this whole thing and I’ve muddled my way towards a nice little selection of modules on my MM2. My plan is to run it on a 40" LED behind a full height mirror in the hallway.

I think I’ve reached my limit from a technical standpoint so was wondering if anyone could tell me how to control MMM-Carousel and MMM-CECControl from MMM-GroveGestures?

Currently Carousel works on a timed loop and I can’t seem to figure out a way to fire a change slide command.
In MMM-CECControl I can’t see how to send the ON / OFF command, let alone trigger it in GroveGesture.

Ideally I want to do

Up - TV On
Down - TV Off
Clockwise - Next slide
Anti-clockwise - Previous Slide

I might mess around with combinations like UP UP to display the Wifi Password, but I’m sure once I figure out the above I’ll be sorted.

Can anyone lend an assist?

@nischi , @barnabycolby apologies if this is a netiquette faux pas to tag you in as the authors of the modules. I’m still not sure what’s acceptable practice on forums

Hi,

Not sure if you got your ideas sorted or not but ive just been tru the same process and i came up with these solutions to my problems, hopefuly you or someone else can find them usefull.

        "UP": {
          notificationExec: {
            notification: "CAROUSEL_GOTO",
            payload: 4,
          }
        },

        "DOWN": {
          notificationExec: {
            notification: "CAROUSEL_GOTO",
            payload: 5,
          }
        },

        "LEFT": {
          notificationExec: {
            notification: "CAROUSEL_PREVIOUS",
            payload: null,
          }
        },

        "RIGHT": {
          notificationExec: {
            notification: "CAROUSEL_NEXT",
            payload: null,
          }
        },

I use MONITORON and MONITOROFF for the onIdle and onDetected

    onIdle: {  
//      shellExec: "vcgencmd display_power 0",
          notificationExec: {
            notification: "REMOTE_ACTION",
            payload: { action: "MONITOROFF", },                      
                            }
            },

    onDetected: {
//      shellExec: "vcgencmd display_power 1",
          notificationExec: {
            notification: "REMOTE_ACTION",
            payload: { action: "MONITORON", },                      
          		    }
    	    },

i also found that if i use MONITOROFF then the shellExec: "vcgencmd display_power 1" command will not work.
