MMM-Page-Selector: A page switcher that can set positions of modules

Veldrovive

Ah good. I’m glad that the changes I’m making are improving the module.
Thank you for the kind words.

@Veldrovive Installed your module, along with the MMM-page-indicator.
Page1 shows OK, but I can’t move to Page2.
What i’m doing wrong?
Here’s my config

	modules: [
		{
			module: "alert",
			pages: "all",
		},
		{
			disabled: false,
		        module: "MMM-Page-Selector",
		        position: "top_bar",
		        config: {
			    defaultPage: "Page1",
		            displayTitle: true,
			    selectPageNotif: ["SELECT_PAGE"],
		            incrementPageNotif: ["PAGE_UP"],
		            decrementPageNotif: ["PAGE_DOWN"]
		        }
		},		
		{
			disabled: false,
		        module: 'MMM-page-indicator',
		        position: 'bottom_bar',
			pages: "all",
		        config: {
		            pages: 3,
		        }
		},			
		{

			module: "updatenotification",
			position: "top_bar",
			pages: {"Page1": "top_bar"},
		},
		{
			disabled: false,
			module: "clock",
			position: "top_left",
			pages: {"Page1": "top_left"},
		},
		{
			disabled: false,
			module: "compliments",
			position: "lower_third",
			pages: {"Page2": "lower_third"},
		},
		{	
	                disabled: false,
	                module: 'MMM-Lunartic',
	                position: 'top_center', // Best in left, center, or right regions
		        pages: {"Page3": "top_center"},
	                config: {
		                mode: "rotating", // rotating or static
		                image: "current", // animation, current, DayNight or static
		                distance: "km", // miles or km
		                useHeader: false, // true if you want a header
		                header: "Huidige Maan stand", // Any text you want
		                maxWidth: "300px",
		                animationSpeed: 0,
		                rotateInterval: 15000,
			       }
	        },
		{
		        disabled: false,			
			module: 'MMM-BackgroundSlideshow',
		        position: 'fullscreen_below',
			pages: {"Page1": "fullscreen_below"},
		        config: {
 		                imagePaths: ['modules/MMM-BackgroundSlideshow/Images/'],
		                transitionImages: true,
			        slideshowSpeed: 20000,  // 20 Seconds
			        //transitionSpeed: '2s',
		                randomizeImageOrder: true,
		                }
		},
		{
			module: 'MMM-Cursor',
			pages: "all",
		},
	]
};

I have installed MMM-Voice-Command as well, but I really don’t need voice for the moment so I didn’t add this in the config.

One small thing before I actually get into the meat of the issue. It is not necessary to specify the number of pages for MMM-page-indicator since it is overridden by the page selector.

While I was developing the new page system, I forgot about the very important issue of capitalization. Basically what was happening is that it was trying to switch to pages that did not exist. If you pull the update, everything should work fine.

Johans

@veldrovive Wow, that was a quick. Works fantastic now. Great job!! Thanks.

Hi @Veldrovive ! Can you help me to solve some problems with pages? The first is that it doesn’t swith sometimes. it works, but not the whole time. The second is rhat pages show modules while they don’t havw to. There are config file and examples. So the main page (главная) shows weather data but it doesn’t have to. The same situation with other pages (example - calendar “календарь”). While the weather page (with earth) doesn’t show these modules. Wrehe is the problem? Sorry for bad structure…

var config = {
	address: "localhost", // Address to listen on, can be:
	                      // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
	                      // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
	                      // - "", "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
	                      // Default, when address config is left out, is "localhost"
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
	                                                       // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
	                                                       // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
	                                                       // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],

Hey @Banandze,
I have added a lockstring so that modules cannot show themselves which was causing the issue where the weather module showed itself. Pull the new changes to fix that issue.
The issue with the module not showing on the weather page I cannot replicate, but it is most likely due to the position being set to left which is not a valid position in Magic Mirror. Refer to this this for a list of positions.
I am also unable to replicate the problem where the page switching does not work. When it fails to switch, is there any output to the console?

Dear @Veldrovive,

thank you very much for this fantastic module! I am trying to use MMM-Remote-Control to control the currently shown page through notifications which are sent via HTTP from my home automation (FHEM), depending on who is in the bathroom.

These two calls work fine with MMM-Page-Selector: (I had to insert a space into the URL when pasting it here as “&n” is replaced with a newline character by this website")

http://192.0.0.60:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=PAGE_UP

http://192.0.0.60:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=PAGE_DOWN

But i am struggling to use SELECT_PAGE to go directly to a desired page.

http://192.0.0.60:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=SELECT_PAGE&payload={"test"}

This call returns {"status":"success"}, but does not show the page “test”. Do you have an idea, what I am doing wrong?

Veldrovive

Hey @rudibarani,
Yea, that was completely on me. The new version should fix the issue. There was a really obvious bug that was stopping the PAGE_SELECT system from working. If it still does not work, make sure that the payload that is being sent is actually just the string name of the page and not an object.

rudibarani

@veldrovive Thank you very much for the quick fix! Now everything works like magic :man_mage:

I am putting a working example here for others, if they want to use MMM-Remote-Control with MMM-Page-Selector as well:

http://192.0.0.60:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=SELECT_PAGE&payload="test"

Veldrovive

As an update, it is now possible to have your pages automatically rotate on a certain interval. Refer to usage and configuration in the Readme.
