@MMRIZE I saw that in the example in the GitHub page. I’m confused on where to specify which module to hide/show. Thanks.

@sdetweil to hide and show a specific module.

@3squaremirror i understood that part…

I think @MMRIZE answered

@sdetweil I’m not clear on where to specify the module I want to hide/show. Can you help me understand? Thank you.

sdetweil

@3squaremirror i believe @MMRIZE provided code to hide all, and you could have a list (or only one) module name to match for hiding/showing

"SWIPE_UP_1" : (commander) => {
  let clock = commander.getModule('clock')
  clock.hide()
},

one other question. I’m trying to make use of the onIdle function to activate a screensaver page in my MMM-pages.

from Pages’s github

SHOW_HIDDEN_PAGE	String	MMM-pages will switch to the provided hidden page name.

from Touch’s github

// will send a TOUCH_IDLE_TRIGGERED notification
onIdle: "TOUCH_IDLE_TRIGGERED",

I’ve successfully got the Touch module to send a notification based on the onIdle timer. I just don’t know how to specify my Page’s screensaver page along with the payload.

"SHOW_HIDDEN_PAGE", 'screenSaver'

my code for each module

{
        module: 'MMM-pages',
	disabled: false,
    classes: 'default everyone',
        config: {
                modules:
                    [[ "MMM-DateOnly", "clock2" ],
			[ "MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast", "clock" ],
            [ "calendar", "clock" ],
			[ "clock", "MMM-Wallpaper" ]
			],
                fixed: [ "weather", "MMM-page-indicator", "MMM-SimpleLogo" ],
                hiddenPages: {
                    "screenSaver": [ "MMM-Wallpaper", "MMM-FlipClock" ],
                    "admin": [ "MMM-ShowMeSystemStatsModule", "MMM-AnOnScreenMenuModule" ],
                },
        }
    },

{
    module: "MMM-Touch",
    position: "top_bar",
    disabled: false,
    config: {
    debug: false,
    useDisplay: false,
	autoMode: false,
    defaultMode: "default",

  threshold: {
    idle_ms: 3000, // Idle time (in milliseconds) after which the defined "onIdle" notification / callback function should be triggered
  },
  onIdle: ("SHOW_HIDDEN_PAGE", 'screenSaver'),

        gestureCommands: {
            default: {
                TAP_1: (commander) => {
                    commander.sendNotification("USER_PRESENCE", true);
                },
                PRESS_1: (commander) => {
                    commander.sendNotification("USER_PRESENCE", true);
                },
                TAP_2: (commander) => {
                    commander.sendNotification("LOAD_NEXT_WALLPAPER", true);
                },

                "SWIPE_UP_1" : (commander) => {
                  let clock = commander.getModule('MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast')
                  clock.show()
                },
                "SWIPE_DOWN_1" : (commander) => {
                  let clock = commander.getModule('MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast')
                  clock.hide()
                },

                SWIPE_UP_2: (commander) => {
                    commander.sendNotification("SHOW_HIDDEN_PAGE", "screenSaver");
                },
                SWIPE_DOWN_2: (commander) => {
                    commander.sendNotification("LEAVE_HIDDEN_PAGE");
                },

                SWIPE_LEFT_1: (commander) => {
                    commander.sendNotification("PAGE_INCREMENT", null);
                },
                SWIPE_RIGHT_1: (commander) => {
                    commander.sendNotification("PAGE_DECREMENT", null);
                }
            },
        }
    }
},

Currently, MMM-Touch’s onIdle notification or function couldn’t carry the payload value.

One solution would be modifying the source. It is not so difficult. Just a few lines are needed for that. Then make a PR and wait to be accepted by the module owner.

The real issue is… The module owner - @gfischershaw seems not to manage this module any more. As an original developer of this module, I feel some responsibility. Maybe I should get back from this unmaintained situation. (I’m not sure what to do yet.)

Second solution would be the conjunction with MMM-NotificationTrigger module. It could chain/translate one notification to other notifications. So you can relay TOUCH_IDLE_TRIGGERED to {SHOW_HIDDEN_PAGE, 'screenSaver'} . See that. Or I think there would be some equivalent modules somewhere.

@MMRIZE thank you for responding, that works well.
