[MMM-Buttons] Connect multiple buttons to send configurable notifications

[PointPubMedia]

Hey guys…

Is it me or having this module + ProfileSwitcher + Facial are not working well together.

I have no issue using the buttons + ProfileSwitcher as I can toggle between profile! Facial recognize me but switch to nothing…

@PointPubMedia Did you check out this section? There are some changes needed to make both work together smoothly.

Hi…i am a new user here. In my case sing a python test program i can see every single instance of my button press is registered instantly. But in the mirror it seems MMM-Buttons doesnt register pushes unless sometimes I double or triple click.

@RickyTerzis I released changes from the development branch, can you try experimenting with the new activeLow setting? Maybe you used the inverse wiring to the one I anticipated?

Hi, @Jopyth, great job on all modules that you developed. They’re great!
I`m trying to send a hide module action to the MMM-Remote-Control module in order to hide the clock (I already know that the id is module_2_clock).

I can’t get it to work with MMM-Buttons. The button is working (worked with an alert), but I think that I doing the wrong thing on the parameters of the HIDE module action.

           {
            pin: 5,
            name: "HideClock",
            shortPress: {
               title: "Hide clock Test",
                notification: "REMOTE_ACTION",
                payload: {"action": "HIDE", "identifier": "module_2_clock"}
            },
            longPress: undefined
        }

Can you or someone give me a clue?
I’d be greateful, thanks!

[Jopyth]

@pedroken I think you almost got it, just use module instead of identifier:
payload: {"action": "HIDE", "module": "module_2_clock"}

@Jopyth

have installed the module, just small maybe stupid question. (i have no skills in electronics)
when you talk about pin 24, pin 25, do you mean GPIO24 - GPIO25 ?

Hello Power Users,

i also have a problem with MMM-Buttons, that Buttonpress is only sometimes recognized if i press twice or triple.

Intension:
I want to change MMM-Pages with to buttons, to move left/right through my pages.
MMM-Remote-Control is set up and works.
Moving through pages work bei MMM-Remote-Control Links and sendnotification.

My setup:
Raspberry 1 B+
2 Buttons (circuit closed when pressed)
connected between 1: GND an BCM26; 2: GND and BMC20
I tested the buttons with a python script an they are recognized

I searched this forum and still have some questions.

1. Do Buttons on GND work or do i have to put them on +3,3V with a resistor instead?
2. how do i use activeLow in MMM-Buttons Configuration? … activeLow: true ?

Looking forward getting some tips.

Regards AxLed

Maybe play around with the min and max Presstime.

Wondering that this works with the module… when u press the Button the gpio would be set to low which is equal to 0.

Afaik this isn’t possible through the module. Maybe u find a solution in the web, fo how changing the input state detection.

And yes, u should use resistors for giving the GPIO a defined state when not pressing. When u don’t want to connect them physically (but i recommend) u could use the internal resistors (check below on this site http://wiringpi.com/the-gpio-utility/)

So normal way (or the way i used) is to connect the button like this:

@cruunnerr
Thanks for the tips, you made my day, it works now.
What i did: Changed the wiring from negativ (GND) to 3.3V (with resistor) as shown on picture of cruunnerr wiring diagram.

No i try to get a rotary switch and got it working, as i need some WAF (Woman acceptance faktor) for my mirror.

We could open a petition XD

@cruunnerr

Your wiring diagram is fantastic. Is that a program?

Jap, its called Fritzing
