      Hello
      I was thinking that is it possible to sent custom module_data payload via remote control
      So I can display module at position of my choice . It would make quite easier to program via python by simply sending http get requests

      Regards Saif

        @saifkazi Have a look at node_helper.js and the answerPost() and answerGet() functions. You should be able to modify one to catch your additional data and modify the position of a given module. Not sure if you can change the position on the fly, or whether you need to write the config and restart the mirror.

        Problem with config or JavaScript? Copy/paste it into JSHint.
        Check out the detailed walkthroughs on install, config, modules, etc.

          @ninjabreadman That is indeed not very simple. It was something I wanted to implement too, but it turned out to be a little more complicated than I initially thought, since the MagicMirror project does not directly support this. But it could be done, and if so a PR or even just an initial implementation would be awesome.
