    Hello,

    I am using your module what is really great and works perfectly fine on my side.

    I configure it to allow some others fonctions, after finding out that the fonctions from the module “MMM-Remote-Control” can be used on your navigation module. I also read part of the “node_helper.js” of this module to try to find out the possibilities avaliable.

    This allow me to add the ability of “refresh” and “monitoroff” and “monitoron” on my navigation menu :

                    {
                            module: "MMM-Navigate",
                            header: "Navigation",
                            position: "middle_center",
                            config: {
                                            Alias: [
                                                    'Changer de Page (Press puis rotation)',
                                                    'Luminosité écran (Press puis rotation)',
                                                    'Afficher adresse Remote',
                                                    'Ecran off/on (Press puis rotation)',
                                                    'Recharger affichage',
                                                    'Redemarrer le MagicMirror',
                                                    'Reboot RPI',
                                                    'Shutdown RPI'
                                            ],
                                            Action: [
                                                    [{notification:'PAGE_INCREMENT',payload:''},{notification:'PAGE_DECREMENT',payload:''}],//action array, first press locks menu, after this rotation CW/CCW executes, second press release lo$
                                                    [{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "BRIGHTNESS&value=100"}},{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "BRIGHTNESS&value=50"}}],
                                                    {notification: "SHOW_ALERT", payload: {type:"notification",message:"http://192.168.xx.xx:8080/remote.html"}},//single action, execute on press
                                                    [{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "MONITOROFF"}},{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "MONITORON"}}],
                                                    {notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "REFRESH"}},
                                                    {notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "RESTART"}},
                                                    {notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "REBOOT"}},
                                                    {notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "SHUTDOWN"}}
                                            ],
                                            GPIOPins: [26,20,19]//rotary cw, rotary ccw, rotary press (BCM Numbering)
                                            },
                    },
    
    

    But then I tried 2 others improvment that I couln’t fullfill :

    • change the timer value to display the notification : to do so I add the value “timer” for the notification :
     {notification: "SHOW_ALERT", payload: {type:"notification",message:"http://192.168.xx.xx:8080/remote.html",timer: 15}},
    

    But this had no impact…

    • add the possibility to change the brightness of the screen directly from the navigation menu, to do so I tried :
    [{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "BRIGHTNESS&value=100"}},{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "BRIGHTNESS&value=50"}}],
    

    but also :

    [{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "BRIGHTNESS", value:100}},{notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "BRIGHTNESS", value:50}}],
    

    but no way to make it work…

    Would you have any advice how to realize such fonctions ?

    Thank you in advance,

      Hi,

      thanks for your request, i checked my code and can give you a solution for the brightness issue.
      I found out, that it seems to be a problem with MMM-Remote-Control, node_helper.js

      But there is a workaround:
      Replace line 618
      res.send({"status": "success"});
      through
      if (res) { res.send({"status": "success"}); }

      Thanks to glitch452 who found the error, details see:
      https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control/issues/76

      Sample code for config.js, Module MMM-Navigate:

      {notification: "REMOTE_ACTION", payload: {action: "BRIGHTNESS", value: "200"}},

        Great ! Thank you so much !

        But as said on the link you gave :

        @axled said in MMM-Navigate, Navigation inside MagicMirror with Rotary Encoder:

        Thanks to glitch452 who found the error, details see:
        https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control/issues/76

        the line to replace is

        res.send({"status": "success"});
        

        and not

         self.sendSocketNotification(query.action, query.value);
        

        Then it is working perfectly !

          You are right, i told you the wrong line, i corrected my thread above.
          I am glad it is working on your MM as needed.

              Hi,

              i installed this module with the Rotary Encoder KY-040. Scroll through navigation work fine, but nothing happened, when I press the button on the encoder.

              Test with Url (yourmmip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=PRESSED) works fine.

              What could be the problem ??

                Did you use the right Pin (either in config or on the pi) for the ‘press’ signal of the rotary encoder?
                Is the module MMM-Remote-Control installed and working?

                  Hi,
                  yes Pin 19, like you suggested. Everything else works fine, only the press action doesn’t work.
                  MMM-Remote-Control is installed.
                  I ordered a new Rotary Encoder, maybe this one I use has a defect .

                    You can also try to put clockwise or counterclockwise signal on pin 19 for testing, so cw or ccw should send the press command. So you can make sure if press switch of your rotary encoder is bad.
