npm start
send a ctrl-q
to the MM UI

or pm2 on boot

pm2’s JOB is to keep the app running… if it ends, pm2 will restart it…
so then you will have to issue a command

pm2 stop x

where x is the name or number on the line for the app you want to stop
from the output of

pm2 status

like this

┌────┬─────────────────────┬─────────────┬─────────┬─────────┬──────────┬────────┬──────┬───────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┬──────────┐
│ id │ name                │ namespace   │ version │ mode    │ pid      │ uptime │ ↺    │ status    │ cpu      │ mem      │ user     │ watching │

Could you help?

I developed the module a view years ago to provide buttons to toggle some modules (like snowfall) and to realize user presence notifications via remote connection.

These buttons finally behave like expected. I already tested MMM-Smarttouch and MMM-OnScreenMenu but never got it working in satisfying way with my infrared frame.
