MMM-Loxone

I just experienced a similar issue, but It appears not to be caused by MMM-Loxone. I am Invastigating it…

@idoodler
I found this passage in your code:

    _togglePresence: function _togglePresence(isPresent) {
        if (isPresent) {
            // Check if hdmi output is already on
            exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -s").stdout.on('data', function(data) {
                if (data.indexOf("0x120002") !== -1)
                    exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice --preferred && chvt 6 && chvt 7", null);
            });
        } else {
            exec("/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o", null);
        }
    }

So you are using “tvserice -o” which seems not to work for me.
would this be an alternative? Link

Executing the commands vom @E3V3A here Link brings the Monitor Signal back, but only 1 time.

Any idea?

Hi, using this command brings back the Monitor signal:

xset -display :0 -dpms

I just implemented vcgencmd it looks like it is a bit quicker. I will check it out the next few days and will push it if everything works.

Yeah, but that only work with Rapsberry Piss , so if you want it to work on other devices, you need to use xset, and if you want to use xset on the Pi, you now also need to tell it that the blank screen should be black, with xsetroot -display :0 -solid black.

idoodler

@e3v3a I think xset just blanks the screen without powering off the HDMI signal?

idoodler

@bobbythemoh Can you please post your pm2 log. You can optain it by executing pm2 log MagicMirror if you are using pm2.

I just detected some unhandled rejections which may cause the black screen.

@bobbythemoh Ok, thanks. No unhandled rejections.

bobbythemoh

@idoodler , did “vcgencmd” solve the issue?

idoodler

@bobbythemoh No. I think there is an issue within the communication module for the Miniserver. If the module crashes when the screen is turned off the screen will never be turned on again and vice versa.

bobbythemoh

@idoodler , i dont think so. Let me explain the behaviour of the Module:

Light in the Room Switched ON, Booting the Mirror gives me the Mirror as it should be
Switching the Light off, switches the Monitor off.
Switchint the Light on again activates the Background light of the Monitor but does not give content
Entering the command “xset -display :0 -dpms” while the light is switched ON brings back the content

in my opinion this is not a miniserver issue since I can observe an reaction (Backlight of the monitor comes alive), this is an issue with the “tvservice”

idoodler

@bobbythemoh You misunderstoodme. I think the issue is in my code with the communication layer crashing resulting in not receiving any state changes, hence the mirror doesn’t know to enable the display again.

I just found an issue and testing it over the night.

idoodler

@bobbythemoh I just pushed some changes, please update. Don’t forget to execute npm install after updating MMM-Loxone.

bobbythemoh

David, you are my hero, it works!!!
Energy Consumption of RPI + 24" Monitor Powered ON = 56W; 3.4W if no one is present in the room. AWESOME!
Thank you for the efforts!
May I also ask you for the feature request with displaying variables from the Miniserver? Id like to see things like the PV production or an analog value like the level in a tank.

Thank you so much!

idoodler

@bobbythemoh please create a separate Issue in Github for the power consumption thing.

idoodler

@bobbythemoh Please check the latest version of MMM-Loxone. It’s not possible to display custom states:)

Hi @idoodler ,

I have just tried to get the “observingUuids” working.
I dont get anything on the MM. My question: Is there a way to test if I did something wrong with “ALERT” or with “MMM-Loxone”

    modules: [
            {
                    module: "alert",
                    config: {
                            //display_time: "3500",
                            //alert_effect: "jelly",
                            //effect: "slide",
                            //position: "center"
                            }
            },

MMM-Loxone:

            {
                    module: "MMM-Loxone",
                    //position: "top_right", //macht keinen Sinn, ga kein GUI
                    config: {
                            host: "192.168.0.200",
                            user: "XXX",
                            pwd: "XXX",
                            presence: "true",
                            //roomUuid: "0ea3ebd1-00eb-0517-ffff390cde3b9b45", //Arbeitszimmer
                            roomUuid: "0ea3ebd1-00eb-04ef-ffff390cde3b9b45", //Badezimmer
                            showInfoNotifications: "true",
                            showErrorNotifications: "true",
                            showSystemNotifications: "true",
                            observingUuids:[
                                            "103d9aaf-0037-597e-ffff390cde3b9b45",//Bad Luftfeuchte
                                            "11aee03b-01ea-a7bb-ffff390cde3b9b45"
                                            ]
                    }
            },

Furthermore, i found and interesting module called “mmm-openhabfloorplan”. I have seen it is using a HTTP server on the MagicMirror, would it be possible to adapt it for Loxone aswell?

Regading displaying Charts: I found an extension called “MMM-ImagePhotos” Do you have any Idea, how the “Energy-Monitor” data can be exported on regular basis, like every minute? I was thinking of making a python skript that creates a picture every X Minutes and puts it to the display with the MMM-ImagePhotos. Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.
Robert

@bobbythemoh If you use the the observingUuids you need to add the module position.
The alert module config looks good, what notifications do you want to display?

The mmm-openhabfloorplan module looks cool. I will definetly look into it :thumbs_up:

You can create a python periodicaly fetches the statistic files from your Miniserver (http://192.168.0.200/stats) and creates an image from it, saves in the directory the MMM-ImagePhotos module listens to.

Hi idoodler,

i have the same problem with the presence option. when i enable the option the display switches off with the light controller in the room. wenn the light in the room is going on, the display is also going on, but only the cursor in the left top is blinking, no MagicMirror information is shown. Ich have updated the MMM-Loxone Modul und the MMM installation, the command in previus postings don´t bring back the screen…
