hey thk for module !

i try to use it but i have some problem:

i have put that on my conf file .

	{
            module :  'MMM-KeyBindings' ,
            config : {
				enableNotifyServer : false 
            }
        },

i just want to use a local keyboard for now and i probably change after for remote.
and on my module of pages organisation

i have put your config :

Module.register("Print_text_from_txt",{
	curentPage: -1,
	defaults: {
		updateInterval:  1000,// 30 * 60 * 1000 //reads the file every 30 mins
	
	


    /*** defaults ***
     *
     *   Add items below to your moduleName.js's `defaults` object
     *
     */
        /*** MMM-KeyBindings STANDARD MAPPING ***/
        /* Add the "mode" you would like to respond to */
        keyBindingsMode: "DEFAULT",
        keyBindings: {
            /* Add each key you want to respond to in the form:
             *      yourKeyName: "KeyName_from_MMM-KeyBindings"
             */
            Right: "ArrowRight",
            Left: "ArrowLeft",
            /* ... */
        },
    },

/////////////////////////////
	start: function(){
		this.setupKeyBindings(); //key binding test

		this.sendSocketNotification("START", this.config);
	},
/////////////////////////////
notificationReceived: function(notification, payload){
		if (this.validateKeyPress(notification, payload)) { return; }
		if (notification === "PAGE_NUMBER_IS")
		{
			this.curentPage = payload
			this.sendNotification("PAGE_CHANGED", this.curentPage);
		}
///////////////////////////

@rak Have you tried pairing the remote using the Bluetooth menu/GUI on the desktop?

shbatm

@jchenaud I am away right now and will take a closer look at your issue when I am back in town.

rak

@shbatm Thanks. Much appreciated. No urgent need. Looking forward to your reply.

I tried both. GUI and command line. Both gave the same error message. I even tried a 2nd remote without success. Same error message.

rak

@shbatm, did you had a chance to look into this? Thanks for an update.

rak

Solved it.

I added “pairable on” to the mix. After that it worked.

Works like a charm. Only thingis that after restarting MagicMirror (pm2 restart MagicMirror) the evdev service ist typically stopped and needs a restart as well (pm2 start evdev).

Not sure whats missing here.
