      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.

              Hello everyone,

              actually i’m building my first Magic Mirror and i have installed the Remote Control Modul which works very well and i also have implemented the changes from Bangee. Everything works fine.

              Now i want to use this modul for interacting with my home automation systen “homematic”. Therefore i need to call the URLs directly.
              Can anybody help me which i URL i have to call? I already have tried
              http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8080/remote.html?action=RESTART
              but it doesnt work :-(

              Thanks in advance for your help :)

                @Jopyth the pull request is online. :-)

                  @ceerix How are you going to interact? With custom notifications between the modules? Or are you connecting this differently?

                  I am asking because I was thinking, if it is possible to give other modules a simple way of hooking up to my module, and how this could happen. So a first example, on how you would like to do it, might be a good starting point.

                    @Bangee thank you for your help this works! :)

                    @Jopyth i simply call the URL for the action which i want. For example shutdown the Raspberry when i’m leaving the house.
                    A example is the link which Bangee have written:
                    http://192.168.XXX.XXX:8080/remote?action=RESTART

                    If you need any further information i will help you :)
