Change page with MMM-Pages
-
@MMRIZE he has timed change… wants something explicit … has voice via GA now… but wants interaction without GA
-
@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. :) -
@MMRIZE cannot be Alexa Skill
sadly Amazon has implemented new certification processes that MM system cannot pass
until certified all skill access is blocked -
@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)

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. :)

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);
