MMM-Remote-Control

[Dennis-010]

Hey all,

After troubleshooting the calendar module with the help of Sam I stumpled upon a new “problem”.

I installed the MMM-Remote-Control module to be able to use motion sensors and HASS to turn on/off the screen/monitor.

The module works flawlessly exept for the monitor on and off command. I can start, restart and turn off the pi with the module.
I’m using a Pi4 with 2 micro hdmi ports, monitor isd plugged in hdmi0 (left port) Already tried on a different monitor for testing purose.

Also already changed the output commands to

'xrandr -d :0 --output HDMI-1 --auto',

            {
                module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
                // uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
                // position: 'bottom_left',
                // you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
                config: {
                    customCommand: {  // Optional, See "Using Custom Commands" below
                      monitorOnCommand: 'xrandr -d :0 --output HDMI-1 --auto',
                      monitorOffCommand: 'xrandr -d :0 --output HDMI-1 --off'
                    },
                    showModuleApiMenu: true, // Optional, Enable the Module Controls menu
                    secureEndpoints: true, // Optional, See API/README.md
                    // uncomment any of the lines below if you're gonna use it
                    // customMenu: "custom_menu.json", // Optional, See "Custom Menu Items" below
                    // apiKey: "", // Optional, See API/README.md for details
                    // classes: {} // Optional, See "Custom Classes" below
            }
            },

Thanks for figuring all of this out. I also reverted back to the X11 window driver.
For completeness, just add --rotate right to the command:

customCommand: {  // Optional, See "Using Custom Commands" below
  monitorOnCommand: 'xrandr -d :0 --output HDMI-1 --auto --rotate right',
  monitorOffCommand: 'xrandr -d :0 --output HDMI-1 --off'
},

@Dennis-010 pi4 bookworm uses the new Wayland display system instead of x11…
xrandr doesn’t work

from discord last night

@sdetweil

Ah have not found that on Google yet,
Is there a custom line available to have this fixed?

[sdetweil]

@Dennis-010 sorry, don’t know what you mean ‘custom line’

i don’t know if any of us know what to do yet… wayland right now is only setup on pi4… apparently there is a setting in raspiconfig to got back to x11…

@sdetweil said in MMM-Remote-Control:

@Dennis-010 sorry, don’t know what you mean ‘custom line’

Well, I started with:

monitorOnCommand: "echo 'on 0.0.0.0' | cec-client -s -d 1",

Then changd it to:

monitorOnCommand: 'xrandr -d :0 --output HDMI-1 --auto',

So I was wondering if there was a new “custom” line of code I can use. But u already said thast there might be no solution yet.

@Dennis-010 he had another post

yeah ! just found for wayland 
[3:58 PM]
for turn on: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-2 --on
[3:58 PM]
for turn off: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1 wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-2 --off

@sdetweil Saw this and I maybe putting out old news because most people do
sudo raspi-config and then hit enter. Saw some text that appear to type in
sudo raspi-config nonint do_wayland <W1/W2> with

W1 - Use the X11 backend
W2 - Use the Wayland backend

@sdetweil

That line infortunatly did not do the trick.

I used the revert option from @ankonaskiff17 to revert back to X11 and now the commands are working again.
Only thing now is: when monitor turns back on it’s set back to landscape instead of 90 degrees right portrait.

I remember seeing a fix for that somewhere, so I’ll be looking for that.
