@drkineticpie also u can enable a bit more logging from the module

edit the node_helper.js
and uncomment line 69 ( remove the //), and restart mm

this.evdevReader.on("EV_KEY", (data) => {
            // console.log("key : ", data.code, data.value);

and the module will write a message for each key detected

the messages will be shown in the terminal window where you do npm start

@sdetweil
Apparently the keypass does not arrive at the mirror

However, I have to say that the shortcuts of magicmirror work.
I.mean F11 and Alt and a Key

sdetweil

@drkineticpie is there a key definition in the test steps defined in the module instructions?

do u need to use a special device name to read it?
also found by using the instructions

DrKineticPie

Please forgive me my English is really not particularly good :D

If I do the steps 1&2 from the tutorial is called my keyboard mini Keyboard

sdetweil

@drkineticpie but you should be able to get the key names

sdetweil

@drkineticpie so it should be

type 1, code 2, for the numb pad 1 key

sdetweil

@drkineticpie looks like u might need to use the evdev method, and eventPath

DrKineticPie

this.evdevReader.on("EV_KEY", (data) => {
            // console.log("key : ", data.code, data.value);

Okay right now I do not understand much but I try :D

Is that the reason why in the logs then no keys are detected ?

And how do I tie this in as you mean?

DrKineticPie

@sdetweil said in Change Pages with NumPad:

so it should be
type 1, code 2, for the numb pad 1 key

For the reason that I can see so a change easier I have decided to switch the monitor by button on or off the whole now looks like this:

      module: 'MMM-KeyBindings',
      config: {
        evdev: { enabled: false },
        enableKeyboard: true,
		actions: [
          {
				key: '1',
				state: 'KEY_LONGPRESSED',
				mode: 'DEFAULT',
				notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION',
				payload: { action: "MONITORTOGGLE" }}]
     }
    }

sdetweil

@drkineticpie ok. I think u needed
evdev: {enabled:true }
and
keyboardEnabled:false

and probably the dev name and path

DrKineticPie

and probably the dev name and path

I would have to deal with even more with that. Let me know in the course of the day if it worked out

DrKineticPie

@drkineticpie i see the same. seems module is broken, no updates for 3 years… issues open for the same problems…

DrKineticPie

@sdetweil I have now also decided to do it differently, unfortunately it does not work :D

I have a python script:

import requests 
import keyboard

keyboard.add_hotkey("shift+t", lambda: requests.get('http://127.0.0.1:9000/some/endpoint'))

keyboard.wait()

Then magicmirror is started via nohup…
However, the script does not work
