        For testing in terminal :

        1- Create a button.py file with this :

        import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
        import time
        
        GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
        GPIO.setup(24, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)
        GPIO.setup(25, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)
        
        tries = 0
        
        while (tries < 200):
            if GPIO.input(25):
                print("Open")
            else:
                print ("Close")
            time.sleep(0.5)
            tries = tries + 1
        
        #GPIO.cleanup()           # clean up GPIO on normal exit
        
        

        2 - Execute with “python button.py”

        3 - Test your button.

            @istepgueu im assuming the following would just send out a test broadcast that the pm2 logs can see? It sees the notifications from all the other modules i.e CALENDA_EVENTS etc… when they happen.

            {
                                module: 'MMM-Buttons',
                                config: {
                                    buttons: [
                                        {
                                            pin: 5,
                                            name: "TEST",
                                            shortPress: {
                                                notification: "TEST_ACTION",
                                                payload: {action: "ACTIONON"}
                                            },
                                            longPress: undefined
                                        }
                                    ]
                                }
                            },

                  @istepgueu So my button registers properly but its not sending out a notification at all. There are no errors and my mirror loads correctly. I’m using the pin5:test code above.

                    @Mar you can you test with this code and capture log from firebug

                    {
                                    pin: 5,
                                    name: "power",
                                    longPress: {
                                        title: "Power off",
                                        message: "Keep pressed for 3 seconds to shut down",
                                        imageFA: "power-off",
                                        notification: "REMOTE_ACTION",
                                        payload: {action: "SHUTDOWN"}
                                    },
                                    shortPress: undefined
                                }

                      @istepgueu Alright now this is weird. I have my MM running via HDMI, and also opened it up in a Chrome tab on my laptop. When i press the buttong the inspector shows the log of the button and I get a popup on Chrome. But nothing is happening on the screen connected to the actual pi?
