but you cannot define a single switch that can go to any page based on voice…
(but it sounds like that to the user)…

I did not understand this last sentence …

@MMRIZE 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.

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

@MMRIZE 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.

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 x

you CAN create a notification for EACH page

page 1
page 2
page 3
page 4
page 5

and the voice is ‘alexa, turn on page 1’
and the page 1 alexacontrol event fires the pages notification for goto page 1

this.sendNotification("PAGE_CHANGED", 0);

@MMRIZE said in Change page with MMM-Pages:

Yup, I made that.

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 …)

thanks @sdetweil now i understand. Thank you so much!

Looks like so. (If the description is right). I think it is only housed with pretty cover. 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);

MMM-GroveGestures module already has onIdle and onDetected features, 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.)

If instead you took the sensor without a cover how did you think of attaching it to the frame? 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!

the doc for the sensor he linked says

Effective recognition distance 5cm-15cm
(without obstruction of case or cover)

If so, it is very little!

See how usage looks like.

I just have to try!

@Egnos
At this moment, I don’t have the real implementation to show,
But what I tried was;
Dig a hole then Implant the sensor in the frame. This gesture sensor has a short distance, but fortunately, through thin plastic/acryl/wood/paper/glass, it works. It detects changes in magnetic fields so except for metal/mirror(metal coated) it will work.
My first intention was to cover the hole with small cardboard paper, then paint it black (I prefer a black framed mirror), But I lost interest at the finish stage, so I left it naked. :D
