      @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 :-)

                  @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?
