MMM-Page-Selector: A page switcher that can set positions of modules
-
So the exclusions array takes a list of selectors. Those selectors could be the name of a module (Like
MMM-Cursor) or they could be the propname. Here’s some sample code:
This is the inside the module array:{ module: "MMM-page-indicator", name: "noHide", position: "bottom_center" },And then this is the exclusions:
[ "noHide", ]This one works because the name
noHideis a selector.You could also just use the name of the module:
[ "MMM-Cursor", ]because it is also just a selector.
The
pagesconfig also works off of selectors in the same way.noHideis a selector that you assign with thenameprop whileMMM-page-indicatoris a selector that is assigned via the fact that it is the name of the module. -
@veldrovive Thanks, for the reply. I finnaly did find the problem. It was as always a typo from my side. I have now konverted the config to the “second” config option which I like better as I can gather all the pages config in one section.
Thanks for a greate module :) -
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 configmodules: [ { 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", }, ] }; /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/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.

@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"], language: "ru", timeFormat: 24, units: "metric", modules: [ { "module": "MMM-Page-Selector", "position": "top_center", "config": { "defaultPage": "главная", "displayTitle": true, "selectPageNotif": [], "incrementPageNotif": [], "decrementPageNotif": [] } }, { module: 'MMM-page-indicator', position: 'bottom_bar', "pages": "all", config: { pages: 6, activeBright: true, inactiveHollow: true, } }, { module: "alert", "pages": "all", }, { module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor', "pages": "all", config: { sensorPIN: 22, powerSaving: true, powerSavingDelay: 120, // See 'Configuration options' for more information. } }, { module: 'MMM-3Day-Forecast', position: 'top_right', "pages": {"главная": "top_right"}, config: { api_key: '2f91769xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', lat: 54.61972, lon: 39.740002, units: 'M', lang: 'ru', interval: 900000, } }, { module: "currentweather", position: "top_right", animationSpeed: 500, // This can be any of the regions.

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 toleftwhich 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_UPhttp://192.0.0.60:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=PAGE_DOWNBut 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? -
Hey @rudibarani,
Yea, that was completely on me. The new version should fix the issue. There was a really obvious bug that was stopping thePAGE_SELECTsystem 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. -
@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" -
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.
-
@Veldrovive thank you for reply! I will check the changes on the weekend. What shall I use to make weather data more structure? I want one module upper than another. I put first one upper in config file and wrote “top_left” for both modules but they are shown in wrong way. And another question about not swithing, I didn’t understand your question exactly. I turn ii on and it works four times, then it doesn’t swith and my screen becomes slightly darker, then after few munites it works again fout times.
-
@Banandze,
I’m going to address the issue with the switching only working four times before shutting down. First, are you using pm2 to manage you mirror? If that is the case, try just starting it from a terminal instance so it does not automatically restart if it crashes.
When I said “Is there any output to the console”, what I meant is, in the terminal window where you started magic mirror, is there any text that prints out when the issues start? Also, in your electron instance, in the top menu, when you click on view then toggle developer tools, it will bring up a window with a console in it. If there is anything in red there I would like to see it.
What I am assuming is happening is that magic mirror itself is running out of resources and causing the issues.I am not quite certain what you mean by:
“I put first one upper in config file and wrote “top_left” for both modules but they are shown in wrong way”
Are you saying that you want one module to appear above another, but it is instead appearing below? If that is the case then I will need to see your config again to know exactly what you mean and attempt to fix the problem. -
@Veldrovive I will try it on the weekend. Yes, you ynderstand me with the problem of appearing. There is my config
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"], language: "ru", timeFormat: 24, units: "metric", modules: [ { "module": "MMM-Page-Selector", "position": "top_center", "config": { "defaultPage": "главная", "displayTitle": true, "selectPageNotif": [], "incrementPageNotif": [], "decrementPageNotif": [] } }, { module: 'MMM-page-indicator', position: 'bottom_bar', "pages": "all", config: { pages: 6, activeBright: true, inactiveHollow: true, } }, { module: "alert", "pages": "all", }, { module: 'MMM-PIR-Sensor', "pages": "all", config: { sensorPIN: 22, powerSaving: true, powerSavingDelay: 120, // See 'Configuration options' for more information. } }, { module: 'MMM-3Day-Forecast', position: 'top_right', "pages": {"главная": "top_right"}, config: { api_key: '2f91769xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', lat: 54.61972, lon: 39.740002, units: 'M', lang: 'ru', interval: 900000, } }, { module: "currentweather", position: "top_right", animationSpeed: 500, // This can be any of the regions.

@Banandze,
I’ll take a look at it. It is very possible that I made a mistake while refactoring and module precedence has been swapped. -
Changes that edit the way users must set up their config.js file have been made to this module. The position prop is no longer necessary to have inside the module config and the way to exclusions are handled has changed. For more information, look at the updated readme in the development branch of the GitHub page.
These changes will be merged into the master branch in a couple of days which will cause errors if your config is not updated. -
Dear @Veldrovive,
would it be possible to add an option to make the current page persistent until the next page change?
I have to use cases where this would help:
- if the Pi restarts, the Mirror always shows the standard page - no matter what page was active before the restart.
- if you open the Mirror on a browser (e.g. mobile phone), you always see the standard page until the next page change happens.
In both cases, if would be great to see the currently “active” page. Maybe there is a way to store and restore the current page?
Thanks a lot for your active development of the module!
-
Persistent properties such as those could be achieved through a temp file so definitely something that could be implemented.
My reading week is over so I don’t have as much time to do development now, but I’ll get it done in some free time. -
@veldrovive That would be great - thanks a lot!!!
You could implement it as an option for the config part - maybe there are people out there that like to have a fallback to the standard page.
