Change page with MMM-Pages

@sdetweil Sad to hear it.
But I think through IFTTT it might be possible (though not tested, but…)
I mean, not Alexa implemented mirror, but use Alexa Echo to command a mirror (via IFTTT and webhook endpoint) -
@MMRIZE ah, and MMM-AlexaControl can do that locally (and already supports pages)

@Egnos
We might have many user-input methods for the mirror, but you need to have them already. What do you have? physical button? touchscreen? command from a smartphone? IR sensor? face detection from a webcam? Geo-fence detection? IFTTT event? noise detection? voice command without GA? Alexa skill? by email(yes, even it possible)…
What do you want? then we can discuss about it. :)Hi @MMRIZE and thanks for your reply.
I wanted to understand which methods were possible to change the page using the notification method (excluding GA that I already use …).I was interested in “MMM-GroveGesture” (Maybe combined with a PIR…) but I have seen that some have reliability problems. Have you ever tried it?

Thanks very much for the valuable advice!

MMM-AlexaControl already provides support for MMM-Pages, using the notifications configuration options
next and back, and you can add actions to go to a specific pages (hard coded number)
AlexaControl creates fake/virtual wemo plugs, which can be turned on or off…
they cannot receive any data … so you can say ‘Turn on page 2’ which sends notification to pages to go to page twobut you cannot define a single switch that can go to any page based on voice…
(but it sounds like that to the user)… -

Yup, I made that. :)
@Egnos said in Change page with MMM-Pages:
That is a different H/W and different module with
MMM-GroveGesture. MMM-Swipe is using HC-SR04, Ultrasonic Sensor, it is different with PAJ7620 gesture sensor.@Egnos said in Change page with MMM-Pages:

Not with Echo, But with Google Home I had success,(+ IFTTT + Nginx + dataplicity.io + MMM-NotificationTrigger) It is definitely possible.

Which one do you recommend between the two? Did you find “MMM-GroveGesture” reliable?

It would be perfect (I am oriented to the purchase of a Nest Audio …) but I see the thing too “complicated” … :grinning_face_with_sweat:

the way AlexaControl works , it creates a switch, on or off…
a switch doesn’t get any data from the voice command
on 12? makes no sense
so you cannot create a single generic go to page x, notification
and use voice to give xyou CAN create a notification for EACH page
page 1
page 2
page 3
page 4
page 5and the voice is ‘alexa, turn on page 1’
and the page 1 alexacontrol event fires the pages notification for goto page 1this.sendNotification("PAGE_CHANGED", 0); -

Sorry @MMRIZE but I didn’t understand that the module “MMM-GroveGesture” was created by you and I apologize if I doubted its reliability.
I found the sensor you mentioned, in a nicer form to see, I am attaching the link:
https://shop.m5stack.com/products/unit-gesture-recognition-sensor-paj7620u2
Can you confirm that it is the same HW that you used?Furthermore, would it be possible to link the functions of the gesture sensor to a motion sensor (PIR)?
For instance:
IF the motion sensor does not detect movement THEN do not activate the gesture sensor (also because the monitor would be off …)
IF the motion sensor detects movement THEN also activate the gesture sensor (also because the monitor would be on …)@sdetweil said in Change page with MMM-Pages:

But I think its better without housing (Because you may want to dig this sensor to wooden mirror frame. In that case, without housing would be better to assembly)
Another possible issue might be HY2.0-4P Cable included. That connector would not fit with bare GPIO pins of RPI. You may need something like below cable (only one piece);

onIdleandonDetectedfeatures, So these features could be used for your idle/wakeup behaviours. (But the sensor itself has not long distances like PIR, so to use PIR together would be better idea.) -

Do you leave the sensor naked or cover it with a self made cover?

Ok, I hope you will help me when I have to make it work!:winking_face:

From your tests what is the minimum distance that the hand must have from the sensor?
Thank you very much!
