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

[robiv8]

I have the impression that Jopyth does not have time to maintain the module. Last answer here was 9 months ago.
Too bad, is an excellent module

@jopyth I’ve done the Italian translation if you would like to add it. ;)

Hi everyone, these is a new version, lots of credit goes to @shbatm for this. Please give it a try and see if it fixed the various issues. There are also better error messages, which might help us narrow down the problem. Without further ado, this is the changelog:

[2.0.0] - 2019-02-21

Huge shoutout to shbatm for his work on this new major version, which brings a new API, custom menus and commands and lots of other stuff:

Added

• REST API interface for controlling all aspects of the MagicMirror from HTTP RESTful-style GET and POST calls, based on principles from MMM-Api
  • Full API Documentation at API/README.md
• Live daily updates of modules.json from the MagicMirror wiki, based on principles from MMM-Remote-Control-Repository.
• Incorporated some features found in MMM-OnScreenMenu that were not originally in this module.
  • Monitor (Connected Screen) On-Off Status and Toggle
  • Delayed calls (“DELAYED” Query option and .../delay API paths)
  • If using Electron: Open Dev Tools, Minimize, Toggle Fullscreen
• Configuration Option to send custom shell commands to use. Currently, only custom monitor on/off/status commands are supported.
• Module Control menu - Automatically generated from the API to control the different modules you have installed, based on their notificationReceived function.
• Custom menu items. See Custom Menu Items in README
• Norsk bokmål translation

Changed

• Updates to remote.html and the node_helper.js to use direct SocketIO communication back and forth instead of separate HTTP calls.
  • Future framework for following PM2 logs and more live update options.
• General clean-up and standardization of status reporting for GET and POST calls, to original URLs and to new API URLs.
• Updated to ES2015 (ES Version 6) function calls in most locations.
• Added USER_PRESENCE controls from AgP42
• Added/updated french translations from BKeyport and Mysh3ll
• Added SHOW/HIDE/TOGGLE ALL modules option per request from Rene1709

Upcoming Changes

• Add additional MMM-OnScreenMenu features:
  • Moving modules’ positions
• PM2 Log Follower / Terminal Window
• Added Notification Echo option to config to echo all Module Notifications to the remote’s DevTools console for debugging.
• Allow for text input in the Module Controls menu to be able to provide a notification payload.

Thanks for doing all the work. Just upgraded. However I had problems before waking and sleeping the screen and before I was able to change this in the node_helper.js to use:

vcgencmd display_power 1 instead of tvservice. The command works via ssh but when I tried to change like below the screens sleeps but I can not wake it up via the remote.html menu. Anyone with the same problem?

 monitorControl: function(action, opts, res) {
            let status = "unknown";
            let monitorOnCommand = (this.initialized && "monitorOnCommand" in this.thisConfig.customCommand) ?
                this.thisConfig.customCommand.monitorOnCommand :
                "sudo vcgencmd display_power 1";
            let monitorOffCommand = (this.initialized && "monitorOffCommand" in this.thisConfig.customCommand) ?
                this.thisConfig.customCommand.monitorOffCommand :
                "vcgencmd display_power 0";
            let monitorStatusCommand = (this.initialized && "monitorStatusCommand" in this.thisConfig.customCommand) ?
                this.thisConfig.customCommand.monitorStatusCommand :
                "vcgencmd display_power --status";
            if (["MONITORTOGGLE", "MONITORSTATUS", "MONITORON"].indexOf(action) !== -1) {
                screenStatus = exec(monitorStatusCommand, opts, (error, stdout, stderr) => {

@jopyth I would love to give it a try, but I need first to replace the monitor on/off commands with more suitable CEC commands (I use the cec-utils package) as I have a TV instead. :)

Please tell me what do I have to edit to use the following commands?

Turn tv on: echo on 0 | cec-client -s -d 1

Turn tv off: echo standby 0 | cec-client -s -d 1

Tv status: echo pow 0 | cec-client -s -d 1
