      Hi all,

      I’m using MMM-RemoteControl also from other devices to HIDE/SHOW modules (e.g. MMM-iFRAME with a video stream) via HTTP Get requests and that works nicely.

      http://My_MM_IP:8080/remote?action=SHOW&module=module_11_MMM-iFrame
      
      http://My_MM_IP:8080/remote?action=HIDE&module=module_11_MMM-iFrame
      

      This command is send from a Raspi running Motion with a connected USB CAM and will show/hide the videostream when this RasPi detects any motion. This works great.

      Now I’m also using MMM-traffic but would like to show the module only in the mornig hours during the working days and hide afterwards.

      I tried something like:

      // SHOW traffic module  on weekdays between 6:00 and 9:30
      {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '0 6 * * MON-FRI', payload: {action: "SHOW&module=module_15_MMM-Traffic"}},
      {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '30 9 * * MON-FRI', payload: {action: "HIDE&module=module_15_MMM-Traffic"}}
      

      but the module does not hide.
      For testing purposes I also tried this:

      {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule:  '*/2 * * * MON-FRI', payload: {action: 'SHOW {"identifier":"module_15_MMM-Traffic"}'}},
                                      {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule:  '1-59/2 * * * MON-FRI', payload: {action: 'HIDE {"identifier":"module_15_MMM-Traffic"}'}}
      

      Actually the moudle should be sown/hidden every other minute. In PM2 log I can see that there is some action going on, but I expect that simply my paload description is wrong.

      Any hints?
      Many thanks form Neuss/DE

          Thanks for the hint with “npm start dev”
          As beeing a newbie to npm this was not known to me.
          Within the “console” tab I can see notifications send from MMM-ModuleScheduler on a minute bais as expected.
          Is there a chance to see the content of the payload?

          I also recognized several error mesages from MM. …
          Thanks, Peter

            @blup said in MMM-ModuleScheduler (how to use MMM-RemoteControl to HIDE/SHOW modules)?:

            {notification: ‘REMOTE_ACTION’, schedule: ‘0 6 * * MON-FRI’, payload: {action: “SHOW&module=module_15_MMM-Traffic”}},

            Hi Peter,

            1st Tip:
            I think your syntax in config.js is wrong.
            You use:

            {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '0 6 * * MON-FRI', payload: {action: "SHOW&module=module_15_MMM-Traffic"}},
            

            and i think (didnt test it) it should be

            {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '0 6 * * MON-FRI', payload: {action: "SHOW", module: "module_15_MMM-Traffic"}},
            

            2nd Tip:
            Have you checked the config options of MMM-Traffic, see this entries:

            showWeekend, startHr, endHr, hideOffHours

              Thanks for the tipps. I’ll check that.

              Yes, I checked the config options in MMM-traffic, but if you use them and the module is hidden, you can’t use MMM-remoteControl to Show them again.
              Nevertheless I’ll try your information to see what happens.
              Thanks a lot. I’ll keep you updated! :-)

                Thanks a lot!
                Your syntax check did the trick. Now it works as expected!
                Many thanks!:thumbs_up:

                  You are welcome, i had some visual basic skills in the past an trained myself javascript skills the last weeks, for modifying and writing own modules.
                  I am sure in a few weeks, you are helping other MM Users to do some customizing on their mirrors.
