but I can’t tell from the log which code issued the show/hide. only that the profileswitcher had it locked

But you can ralize all you can do with MMM-pages and MMM-page-indicator with MMM-ProfileSwitcher and MMM-ProfileControl. So there is no need to mix Pages and Profiles.

so. can u force profile switcher to switch to that users profile?

I’m trying to switch a day and night time image with profilepicture. Using modulescheduler to switch the image based on the time.

As far as I can tell, each module is running correctly, as I’m not seeing any error in the console log.

i think the issue has to do with LockStrings, and i don’t know how to fix it

Will not show MMM-Profilepicture. LockStrings active: module_2_MMM-ProfileSwitcher

Thread is here

I was searching for identification via BT on the RPi and this is what I have found so far:

“…present/absent can be done with very little power consumption on rPi and iPhone. Install bluetooth dongle on rPi as: (sudo aptitude install bluetooth bluez-utils bluez-compat). Figure out mac of your phone device by making it searchable and then do (hcitool scan) on rPi. Then connect to your device (make sure its searchable) as: sudo bluez-simple-agent hci0 mac_of_your_device and say yes on both sides. Then sudo bluez-test-device trusted mac_of_your_device. Now they both “know” each other. Then do sudo hcitool name mac_of_your_device in your favourite script to figure out if the iphone is nearby. This will not create a connection - but just say hi to it. If it returns a name, phone is nearby. If it returns nothing - phone is not nearby or bluetooth is switched off. Compared to creating connections or other distance computation methods out there - this method conserves battery on both sides and keeps airwave pollution to a minimum.” (found here)

and this would be even better with distance sensing:

I am having an issue with MMM-ProfileSwitcher and using it with MMM-RandomBackground or MMM-RandomPhoto. I have tried some simple troubleshooting steps, but am not sure how to proceed further and hope you could help.

I have simplified my config.js to try and eliminate other sources as being the issue. Currently I am experimenting using only the clock module, MMM-RandomBackground and MMM-ProfileSwitcher. I have 3 profiles ‘TestA’, ‘TestB’ and default. I ideally like to be able to show a random photo on my frame and alternate having overlays of weather / time / news / etc. based on the profile.

My idea is to have a class that shows the random photo at a reduced opacity that can have some overlay infomation (clock, weather, news, etc.). And another class that only shows the photo at full opacity.

The problem I have is that if my config.js has more than one entry for MMM-RandomBackground, it ignores more than the one entry. I am sure I have configured it correctly and have included my config.js below, but I only see a background photo for “TestA” Profile.

modules: [
	   {
			module: 'MMM-ProfileSwitcher',
			header: 'Profile',
			config: {
				defaultTime: 10000,
				defaultClass: 'default',
				everyoneClass: 'everyone',
				useLockStrings: true,
				leaveMessages: false,
				enterMessages: false,
				timers: {
					// when TestA is selected swap to the defaultClass after the defaultTime
					"TestA": {},
				    	//
				        // When TestB is selected swap to TestA after 20 seconds
				        "TestB": {
						profile: "TestA",
					    //	time: 20 * 1000
					},
					"default": {
						profile: "TestB"
					}
				}

			}
		},
		{
			module: 'alert',
			displayTime: 10000
		},
		{
			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar"
		},
		{
			module: "clock",
			disabled: false,
			classes: "TestA",
			position: "bottom_left",
			config: {
				timeFormat: 12,
				displaySeconds: false,
				showPeriod: false,
				clockBold: false,
				dateFormat: "MMMM Do"
			}
		},
		{
			module: "clock",
			disabled: false,
			classes: "default",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
				timeFormat: 12,
				displaySeconds: false,
				showPeriod: false,
				clockBold: false,
				dateFormat: "MMMM Do"
			}
		},
		{
			module: "clock",
			disabled: false,
			classes: "TestB",
			position: "top_left",
			config: {
				timeFormat: 12,
				displaySeconds: false,
				showPeriod: false,
				clockBold: false,
				dateFormat: "MMMM Do"
			}
		},
		{
			module : 'MMM-RandomBackground',
			disabled: false,
			classes: "TestA",
			position : 'fullscreen_below', // Any region but this one makes the most sense
			config : {
				animationSpeed : 2000,
				updateInterval : 50000,
				opacity : 1
			}
		},
			{
			module : 'MMM-RandomBackground',
			disabled: false,
			classes: "TestB",
			position : 'fullscreen_below', // Any region but this one makes the most sense
			config : {
				animationSpeed : 2000,
				updateInterval : 50000,
				opacity : 0.5
			}
		},
		]

};

If you are able to offer any insight as to why this might be happening or further troubleshooting I could do, I would greatly appreciate it.

*** Full disclosure ***
I originally posted this help request under another topic, but thought there would be a better chance that I might get more timely help with my issue in this topic. Sorry for the cross-post. :)

However i’d like to use MMM-Buttons as a toggle switch to enable me to essentially enable or disable the PIR sensor module:

i.e.
Profile 1 - PIRSensor wakes and turns off the monitor as normal
Profile 2 - PIRSensor doesn’t do anything on motion being detected and the screen stays off

I was thinking of modifying the code to do this but does anyone know if this module will allow me to achieve the results? Essentially having two profiles the same but profile 1 includes the PIRSensor module?

I send the current_profile with MMM-Buttons and use it with MMM-RadioDE,
with
classes: ‘Radio’
under the module name

konsole:

source-code:

[Error] TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'modules[i].name')
	(anonyme Funktion) (MMM-Modulebar.js:83)

this is at this line:
if (modules[i].name === data.module) {

and this is what the bottoms look like:

```buttons: {
		"1": {
		     module: "MMM-MotionEye",
		     text: "door",
		     showUrl: "http://ip:8081/motioneye/1",
		     hideUrl: "http://ip:8081/motioneye/1/hide",
		    },
                "2": {                            
		    module: "MMM-Remote-Control",
                    symbol: "refresh",
                    showUrl: "http://ip:8080/remote?action=REFRESH",
                    },
                "3": {

                    //Ignium: 1,
                    //text: "me",
                    //showUrl: "this.sendNotification('CURRENT_PROFILE', 'me');",
                    img: "url.jpg",
                    showUrl: "http://localhost:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION¬ification=CURRENT_PROFILE&payload=%22me%22",
                     width: 30,
		     height: 40,
		     //profilename: "me",
                    },
                "5": {
                    module: "MMM-ProfileSwitcher",
                    //text: "You",
                    img: "url.jpg", 
		    showUrl: "http://ip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION¬ification=CURRENT_PROFILE&payload=%22default%22",
                    width: 30,
		    height: 40,
		    //profilename: "You",
		      },

of course, ip has a relevant IP-adress. Interestingly button 1-3 work, except for 4 and 5. Any one could help?

undefined is not an object (evaluating ‘modules[i].name’)

I cannot really interpret the output of the console: here it is:

The log says
Cannot GET /modules/MMM-TouchNavigations//MMM-TouchNavigations.js

Where does the double // comes from? (Between …Navigations and MMM-Touch…)
I don’t find it in the config of TouchNavigations…
Any ideas?

      notification: "CURRENT_PROFILE",

    },
    shortPress: {

      payload: "Radio"
    }
