      @istepgueu no change. the script is recognizing the press, and so is it through the browser on my laptop. But nothing on the HDMI screen attached to the pi.

        It is completely strange this story. Have you ever managed to have alerts other than the module buttons on the HDMI?

          @istepgueu yes im so stumped with this. its obviously working…just not on the instance on the hdmi monitor. Ive not used alerts before this, the only things ive attached to the pi are a pir sensor with a script on boot that turns my monitor on/off along with a few modules (tube status, wunderlist, and system stats) all of which are working fine.

            Sorry but I have no idea … Maybe @Jopyth the creator of the module could help you?

                So seems like I only ever get to the “Initialize button power on PIN X” log statement when accessing the MM from a remote browser. Otherwise the pi doesnt hit this part of the script on its own.

                Only error I can see so far is this when loading midori from command line (though still initializes the pin via the browser so maybe midori doesnt like this line but chrome ignores it?

                ** Message: console message: http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-Buttons//MMM-Buttons.js @86: SyntaxError: Unexpected token '('. Expected a ':' following the property name 'sendAction'.

                  @istepgueu @Jopyth Whoo hoo got it.

                  MMM-Buttons.js: Semi colons on line 71/72 and line 86 needs to be changed to:

                  sendAction: function(description) {
                  

                  where as it currently just reads:

                  sendAction(description) {

                    @Mar Good thing you found this error. Very strange, that it did not complain on my Pi before.
