[Remote-Control] Shutdown, Configure and Update your MagicMirror

Jopyth

@Mr.Meeseeks You mean like with a PIR sensor? Fiddling with CSS would be possible I think, I will look into that.

@rvdgeer good idea I wanted something similar like this too.

@rvdgeer Glad you like it. :)

By the way I am also looking for new ideas, if anyone wants to a do a certain thing via this interface, I would happy to add it, if it is possible.

How about the ability to send a message to display on the mirror? It would be funny if someone was standing in front of it and it said Hi and their name LOL Just throwing it out there…

@cowboysdude, evil, just pure evil.

Unsuspecting friend visits, friend goes to bathroom, you whip out phone and “text” the mirror … friend comes running out screaming.

“Hey [NAME], you did not wash your hands.”

“Turn the damn fan on!”

@Jopyth ya like what the pir sensor does but just as a manual toggle, so you can turn it ‘off’ at night. I currently don’t have pir sensor yet.

Mr.Meeseeks

I might try to tinker in a config editor and maybe even a command to git clone modules remotely.

Ok, that’s a nice modul :-)

I’ve insert an restart function for the MM app and the ability to turn you monitor on and off:

insert in node_helper.js at line 54:

				if (query.action === 'RESTART')
				{
					res.send({'status': 'success'});
					exec('pm2 restart mm', function(error, stdout, stderr){ callback(stdout); });
					return;
				}
				if (query.action === 'MONITORON')
				{
					res.send({'status': 'success'});
					exec('/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -p', function(error, stdout, stderr){ callback(stdout); });
					return;
				}
				if (query.action === 'MONITOROFF')
				{
					res.send({'status': 'success'});
					exec('/opt/vc/bin/tvservice -o', function(error, stdout, stderr){ callback(stdout); });
					return;
				}

in remote.js on line 131:

    'restart-mm-button': function () {
        Remote.getWithStatus("action=RESTART");
    },
    'monitor-on-button': function () {
        Remote.getWithStatus("action=MONITORON");
    },
    'monitor-off-button': function () {
        Remote.getWithStatus("action=MONITOROFF");
    }

in remote.html on line 40:

<!-- MagicMirror menu -->
		<div id="restart-mm-button" class="menu-button power-menu">
                    <span class="fa fa-recycle" aria-hidden="true"></span>
                    <span class="text">%%TRANSLATE:RESTARTMM%%</span>
                </div>
		<div id="monitor-on-button" class="menu-button power-menu">
                    <span class="fa fa-toggle-on" aria-hidden="true"></span>
                    <span class="text">%%TRANSLATE:MONITORON%%</span>
                </div>
                <div id="monitor-off-button" class="menu-button power-menu">
                    <span class="fa fa-toggle-off" aria-hidden="true"></span>
                    <span class="text">%%TRANSLATE:MONITOROFF%%</span>
                </div>

and the translations/en.json and de.json on line 8 ff:

    "RESTARTMM": "Restart MagicMirror2",
    "MONITORON": "Turn monitor ON",
    "MONITOROFF": "Turn monitor OFF",

    "RESTARTMM": "Starte MagicMirror2 neu",
    "MONITORON": "Bildschirm einschalten",
    "MONITOROFF": "Bildschirm ausschalten",

I think thats it.

The evil this is a must for my mirror… so thats next. I think we can do this like the IFTTT module does it.
Install modules remotly will be the next big thing… :-)

@Bangee can you make a pull request also? Would be nice.

Edit: Otherwise I will add it to the base module, with your permission, when I get back from vacation.
