Magicmirror touchscreen tablet dashboard

Nice job on this. I was also thinking of going the tablet route with MM. I never thought of the server approach, which seems to make it a lot easier. Although I’m guessing streaming video wouldn’t work out so well (if I wanted to implement that).
Question: How did you set up the client on the tablet? Is it just a full-screen web browser?
-
@wfsaxton Yeah its just a fullscreen browser. I’ve tried doing google cast and a smart assistant on it but neither of them worked for me.
-
Your project is quite interesting.
I also have a pizero running MM on server mode and a tablet as a dashboard.I would like to know how you manage to move between the different screens as it is a fullscreen browser.
Thanks in advance

@frentemorao he uses the MMM-Pages module which creates logical pages by showing and hiding modules in groups.
-
@sdetweil thanks for the explanation but I am afraid it’s not the answer I was waiting for…
I understood he touches the screen to move between pages. Am I right?
-
@frentemorao I doubt it, pages will cycle thru, mmm-carousel can too.
I haven’t seen a module that does touch screen swipe. I have seen swipe with additional sensorshere’s a talk about mouse gestures in browsers

Hi,
you can use MMM-Touch to react to swipes. I am not sure if it works with pages but it does with the MMM-ProfileControl. -
@wishmaster270 very cool…
-
@wishmaster270 do you think this solution will work in a tablet considering the server is in an external rpi?
-
@frentemorao Did not test that. I have it running on the same Pi in my case. But as MMM-Touch only sends notifications to other modules I do not see a reason why it shouldn’t.
-
@wishmaster270 I can confirm you that it does work in an Android tablet !!!
Now I have to figure out how it interacts with Pages (and MMM-Remote-Control)
