      @sdetweil Not sure how to do that to the MQTT channel, but can I send a notification when it’s started up? That would be picked up by the MQTT mirror addon?

        @sdetweil Ok, I found the mosqitto_pub command, so I can publish with that to MQTT, which startup script is it, and can I make sure it’s done loading before running the command?

          @fribse how do u start mm? pm2?

          if so it runs the installers/mm.sh

          pm2 info xx
          where xx is the name or number of the pm2 entry shown by pm2 status
          will show u the command used to start mm

          if you used my install script and selected pm2,
          then the script is
          ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

            @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

                @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 :-)

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

                    @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 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?
