      I run MM on a 7inch touch screen on my ROI Server. There is no keyboard or mouse attached. It runs stats and displys data from my weather SQL database etc but I would like to stop MM with a touch button. I have looked at all the Touch Button modules and they only Shutdown or Reboot. None actually only stop MM. I tried modifying one of these using ‘npm stop’ but to no avail. (I start it with npm start).

      I dont always have a computer running that I can remote into it and do Ctrl Q to stop it. A touch button would be handy but Im stumped.

      Thanks

        @harney Hi, I recently had the same problem and wrote a module to exactly do this job (MMM-TouchButton).

              @harney because of the problems within the MM world, I ended up controlling my buttons with external python scripts. More flexable, more configurable, and able to do exactly what I want.

              The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"
