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

planet4

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

@Jopyth nice module but i have an issue ,i think last update broke the restart function.Now its just stops MagicMirror and not restart it.Is there a fix for that?

swvalenti

@costascontis I am experiencing the same issue you are as well.

costascontis

swvalenti

@costascontis Thanks that worked I think…it doesn’t prompt a pm2 restart in the terminal window just closes MM browser and reopens?

@Jopyth after update the Magic Mirror to v2.7.0. I lost all icons. Do you have any idea why? Thanks in advance

Same issue here 🤔

@Jopyth - the font awesome package was updated in v2.7 so the direct reference to FA in remote.html will need to be updated.

It looks like this line
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="vendor/node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css"
Should be changed to
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="vendor/css/font-awesome.css"

But I’m away from my mirror right now so cannot test it.

That changed worked for me. I also had issue of white screen on my phone. After the change above and restarting phone, works fine now.

Hello everyone,
I am a little new to MagicMirror and I am trying to control MMM-RTSPStream or somehow hide the stream with MMM-ModuleToggle and Remote Control module.
I am having problems with requests.

I have read every example and tryed many things in postman but with no success. I am trying to post these kind of notifications and I don’t know how to formulate request correctly.
This is how Module toggle notification should be formulated:

notification: "MODULE_TOGGLE",
payload: {hide: ["MMM-RTSPStream"], show: [], toggle:[]}

Or maybe there is a way to cut the stream directly. This is what MMM-RTSPStream suports:

 "stream": {
        "module": "MMM-RTSPStream",
        "path": "stream",
        "actions": {
            "play": {
                "notification": "RTSP-PLAY",
                "prettyName": "Play Stream(s)"
            },
            "stop": {
                "notification": "RTSP-STOP",
                "prettyName": "Stop Stream(s)"
            },
            "fullscreen": {
                "notification": "RTSP-PLAY-FULLSCREEN",
                "prettyName": "Play Fullscreen"
            },
            "window": {
                "notification": "RSTP-PLAY-WINDOW",
                "prettyName": "Play in Window"
            }
        }
    }
}

I am very grateful for such great modules and I would be very please if you could give me a hint to how to do it.
Regards

i all i’m new to this world so bear with me plz,

I have built en set-up my daughters SM ( she’s 7 so made her a Disney “mirror, Mirror on the Wall” kinda thing.

I have set up most of the basic stuff, work in progress is;

motion sensor
voicecontole
and the darn MMM remote control
the last one gives me heaps of trouble, i’ve managed to fix a lot problems by trial and error, using this forum as a guideline.
There is one thing, picto’s and “sliders” to turn on off stuff on my phone, i havent been able to fix.

I’ve read and applied all the suggested fixes on the forum.

everything works but i’m unable to see if a module is on or off on my phone.

can anyone point me in the right direction, i’m lost atm… not native english (correct my grammer i dont mind, infact it helps)

thanks in advance

Just to let you now that there is a new maintainer (not me) for this module, same Git repository though!
Many bugs have been fixed, many issues have been closed.

So far most of the changes are into the “developer” branch until the new release.
