MagicMirror isn't publishing 'user_presence' on start up?

[fribse]

@sdetweil Ok, yes, I used your script.

So it just says

# This file is still here to keep PM2 working on older installations.
cd ~/MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

So I guess that just launches it, but it’s not actually ready at that point, thus the MMM-MQTTbridge is also not ready to receive the ‘hdmi off’ command.
Aren’t there some sort of notification that says ‘done, ready for running’ when it starts, I could put that notification in the MMM-MQTTbridge so that would also launch the ‘SCREENON’ back to MQTT.

@fribse there is no simple way…

do you get an error from trying to post the message?

if so, I would check and loop and sleep a little, then try again

[fribse]

@sdetweil Darned, that’s really sad, it seems logical to make a notification that says done setting up, and running. Oh well, always room for improvement in the code :-)

[sdetweil]

@fribse yes, inside… but u are outside (Oh I see, change the module)

from the doc
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/development/core-module-file.html#subclassable-module-methods

ALL_MODULES_STARTED

[fribse]

@sdetweil Ahaaaa, way cooler :-)

So I guess I should add this to the notiDictionary.js
I’m unsure of the payloadValue?

{
  notiId: "ALL_MODULES_STARTED",
  notiPayload: [
    {
      payloadValue: '1',
      notiMqttCmd: ["SCREENON"]
    }
  ]
}

[sdetweil]

@fribse sorry, now no idea, don’t know the module internals

[fribse]

@sdetweil Ok, gotcha. I’m trying to figure out the notification, currently the MMM-MQTTbridge doesn’t pick it up.
I’ve set up MMM-ViewNotifications, but I’m drowning in noti’s.
I made this config

    {
      module: "MMM-ViewNotifications",
      position: "top_left",
      header: "Notifications",
      config: {
        excludeModules: ["clock","newsfeed","currentweather","calendar","MMM-News-QR"]
      }
    },

What did I do wrong since it still displays noti’s from these?

[sdetweil]

@fribse u can filter messages by placing part of the modulename in the filter field

[fribse]

@sdetweil Hey Sam, sorry you lost me, “filter field”?

@bugsounet If you are still around, do you have any idea about the notification format in notiDictionary.js?

[sdetweil]

@fribse sorry, I was using the dev window, console tab
