Change page with MMM-Pages

@sdetweil
For the gesture, you can use MMM-Touch(touchscreen) or MMM-GroveGesture(gesture sensor).
Yup, it was my PR time… :D

@Egnos
If you want to use MMM-Pages as simply time-based rotation, just assign rotationTime to your module configuration.

sdetweil

@MMRIZE he has timed change… wants something explicit … has voice via GA now… but wants interaction without GA

MMRIZE

@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. :)

sdetweil

@MMRIZE cannot be Alexa Skill

sadly Amazon has implemented new certification processes that MM system cannot pass
until certified all skill access is blocked

MMRIZE

@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)

sdetweil

@MMRIZE ah, and MMM-AlexaControl can do that locally (and already supports pages)

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?

This solution of using Alexa Echo might interest me: have you already done some tests?

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 two

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

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.

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

I did not understand this last sentence …

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:
