Help please

Hello, for my project I want to add multiple different screens - like an app. The monitor I bought is not a touch one so it cannot work like an iPad.

So can I add multiple screens and with the voice command of “next” can it switch to another screen? How can I do that if it is possible?

This would really help me. Thank you

@innovation There are a few ways to do this. I’ve done this for a kitchen display where I have several pages that rotate in sequence, but are also controlled manually with an IR remote control (using the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to go to previous.next pages).

I’m using a combination of the Profile Switcher module (https://github.com/tosti007/MMM-ProfileSwitcher.git) and my own Profile Carousel module the I wrote to handle input from the IR remote (https://github.com/jclarke0000/MMM-ProfileCarousel).

My config looks like this:

    {
      module: "MMM-ProfileSwitcher",
      disabled: false,
      config: {
        defaultClass: "L_CALENDAR",
        everyoneClass: "L_ALL",
        includeEveryoneToDefault: true,
        defaultTime: 10000,
        useLockStrings: true
        // animationDuration: 500,
        // timers: {
        //   "L_CALENDAR" : {
        //     profile: "L_FORECAST"
        //   },
        //   "L_FORECAST" : {
        //     profile: "L_CALENDAR"
        //   }
        // }
      }
    },

    {
      module: "MMM-ProfileCarousel",
      disabled: false,
      config: {
        profiles: ["L_CALENDAR","L_FORECAST","L_NOTES"],
        carouselDelay: 10000, //10 seconds
        carouselResumeDelay: 1 * 30 * 1000, //30 seconds
        useScreensaver: true,
        screensaverProfile: "L_WORDCLOCK",
        screensaverTimeout: 1.25 * 60 * 1000,
        screensaverBlackoutPeriod: {
          start: 11,
          end: 12
        }        
      }
    },

And every module has one or more class names applied that indicate which profile the module should be visible for:

The clock module is visible for all profiles, so it looks like this:

    {
      module: "clock",
      position: "top_left",
      classes: "L_CALENDAR L_FORECAST L_NOTES",
      config: {
        timeFormat: 12,
        showPeriod: true,
        displaySeconds: false
      }
    },

While my weather module is only available on one page, so it looks like this:

    {
      module: "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast",
      position: "top_right",
      header: "Forecast",
      classes: "L_FORECAST",
      disabled: false,
      config: {

In your case, you’ll need to work with one of the Voice modules to provide input to Profile Switcher. You can explicitly set the current profile using the sendNotification function:

  this.sendNotification("CURRENT_PROFILE",  "profile name");

@innovation I think u can do this with MMM-Pages and MMM-Swipe.

pages does the same classes organization of modules, and swipe handles sending notifications to pages to change to different psges
