MMM-Remote-Control Alternative
-
hi,
I have Magic Mirror on a raspberry pi4, I’m trying to use the MMM-Remote-Control module but it conflicts with MMM-GoogleAssistant, I tried everything but I couldn’t make it work, my main purpose is to send commands from Home Assistant, there is an alternative to Remote Control ?
thanks everyone -
@Dennys1 what is the conflict? shouldn’t be any
-
this is the error when remote control is enabled in config.js,If I remove it everything works fine
-
@bugsounet whats the deal here ?
-
the problem is that GoogleAssistant does not load if Remote Control is present and magic mirror is stopped, I have tried different versions of Remote Control but without success,
the operating system is Debian version: 11 (bullseye) Kernel version: 6.1 on Raspberry
Thank you -
@Dennys1 I understand what is happening. I asked the GoogleAssistant author to explain why
-
ok, thanks for your cooperation

@Dennys1 I’m the moderator here

@Dennys1 What are you trying to do? I’m running most of my automation stuff outside of the MM ecosystem for sanity reasons. MMM-RemoteControl never did anything right for me.
-
hi,
I would like to make Home Assistant installed on a second Raspberry send a command to RemoteControl to go to a specific page (e.g. Page3) of MM,
maybe there are other ways but I don’t know them -
@Dennys1 as you have home assistant, and probably use mqtt for other devices
use this
https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-MQTTbridgeand on the HA side see this, for example
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/publish-mqtt-from-an-automation/58967 -
@Dennys1 I have another mirror project I support, and added code to auto register a device as a switch with HA . then I can turn on/off in automation.
I use a nodered registered alexa device to trigger my ‘good night’ automation which locks the doors, turns off the lights and turns off the screen of the mirror in the hall (over mqtt)
-
@Dennys1 Sam’s got the best idea for you. There’s other ways to do it, but that by far is the easiest.
-
I’ve actually run into the same initial issue as the author. When mmm-googleassistant and mmm-remote-control are both installed it automcially closes magicmirror.
Any ideas?
-
@atwist the googleassistant author has coded it that way don’t know why.
