MMM-Touch

sdetweil

@MrCoffee Yes, Sean stepped away from MM for personal reasons a few months back. No one has taken over active support for this module. (he had like 70 modules)

MrCoffee

@sdetweil
Maybe someone else uses the module with its “onNotification” option and might help out.

sdetweil

@MrCoffee I don’t see a module of this name with his name

I see https://github.com/gfischershaw/MMM-Touch

and what is the question about onNotification?

when a notification is received, you can examine and optionally respond (somehow)

MrCoffee

@sdetweil Yes that is the same module. Sean changed the ownership when he left: Seans modules

The onNotification function seems important to me. if I change to page two for example, the gestures can be defined in another way compared to page one.
My problem is, when I add the code and restart my mirror everthing stays black. usually if there is a bug in the config.js an error is mentioned. but in this case it just stays black.
If I uncomment the code everthing is fine again.
This even happens when i use the example code. Knowing that it wont do anything on my magic mirror, it should start anyway.
So i am wondering if there is a bug or if i am doing something wrong?
Do you use the module?

sdetweil

@MrCoffee no… never seen it before…

how do you start MM

npm start
or pm2?

if npm start , keyboard alt-spacebar, n to minimize
if pm2,
pm2 logs --lines=100

if still nothing obvious, open the developers window, ctrl-shoft-i on the mirror keyboard,
select the tab labeled console and scroll up… errors are usually in red text

MrCoffee

@sdetweil Thanks I didn´t know these commands. Unfortunately I use it installed by docker and headlless on a other device.

sdetweil

@MrCoffee yeh, skip docker til you get it working…

MrCoffee

@sdetweil I just tried ctrl-shift-i with a working mirror. On the tab console I could see a css error, but everything works.
Then i added the onNotification code. Still the same. no mirror starting, and on the console tab there is no error. it ends with “initializing MagicMirror”.
But nothing happens.

sdetweil

@MrCoffee ok, then it must be back on the terminal window where i started MM

either there is a module missing
a syntax error
or some fatal problem in the front end (mmm-touch.js)

MrCoffee

@sdetweil Ok. The module MMM-Touch can create a detailed log (says the config). But it is not written where I can find it:-) Is there a common place for it?
