MMM Pages turn Pages manually

[AceTheFire]

Hello.

I’m using MMM-Pages (https://github.com/edward-shen/MMM-pages) and want to turn Pages manually. I’m already using “MMM-Telegram-Bot” (https://github.com/bugsounet/MMM-TelegramBot) for controlling the mirror. As I can see on github, the Telegram-Bot can use custom command (f.e. sending out notifications). How is it possible to turn the pages manually?

Maybe it works with the notification “this.sendNotification(“PAGE_CHANGED”, 2);”, but I don’t get that to work…

Here is my what I have put in config.js.
rotationTime: 1800000, do it automatic.
Set it to 0 (Zero), it work here.

    {
      module: 'MMM-pages',
      config: {
        rotationTime: 1800000,
        modules: [
          [ // Page 1
            'updatenotification',
            'currentweather'
          ],
          [ // Page 2
            'MMM-Telegram-Bot',
            'calendar'
          ],
          [ // Page 3
            'clock',
            'compliments'
          ],
          [ // Page 4
            'MMM-network-signal',
            'MMM-ServerStatus'
          ]
        ],
        fixed: [
         'clock',
         'compliments'
        ]
      }
    }
  ],
  useHttps: false,
  httpsPrivateKey: '',
  httpsCertificate: '',
  logLevel: [
    'INFO',
    'LOG',
    'WARN',
    'ERROR'
  ]
},

@assassins so there’s no option to send that notification to turn pages manually?

Hi
i have installing MMM-Pages to, and i do the changing with MMM-page-indicator.

MMM-Carousel is also a good choice to change the pages manual.

@foxy25 thx for your help, but “Page-indicator” isn’t a touch button, isn’t it? I thought it is just an Indicator. How do I change my pages with that module?

@acethefire u may have to add mmm-touch or mmm-buttons to get touchable widgets

@acethefire I’ve used an Android app call KWGT to make a widget on my phone that works with the Tasker app (needs to be purchased) and the RESTask plugin to send a notification to MM to move between pages, I made a PC app in Python to do the same thing which was a lot easier to do than I would have thought! There’s the MM-Remote Android app that has built in buttons for moving between pages.

@acethefire On https://github.com/edward-shen/MMM-pages#notifications the usable events are described. I use them for example here: https://github.com/thobach/MMM-Gestures/blob/094ef30fe4a7e9204846a4f77d6314b61ee1d758/MMM-Gestures.js#L85
