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

[Veldrovive]

@rudibarani
If I am understanding what you are asking for correctly, this function seems to be out of the scope that Page-Selector encompasses. I would develop a module to include this functionality, but I have been inactive in the world of Magic Mirror as of lately. As it stands, I would post this request to the module suggestions forum or ask somebody to include it in a module that has a closer association with this type of purpose. MMM-Remote-Control could be a good candidate.

@veldrovive
OK - thanks for the reply anyway!

Hi all

To make MMM-page-indicator work with MMM-Page-Selector, we must add MMM-page-indicator in to pages

{
			module: "MMM-page-indicator",
			position: "bottom_bar",
			"pages": {"Home": "bottom_bar", "News": "bottom_bar","Weather": "bottom_bar","Entertaiment": "bottom_bar","Smarthome": "bottom_bar","System": "bottom_bar"},	
          	config: {
			pages: 6,
			}
		},

@Johans

pages: "all",

You forgot the quotation mark before and after pages

"pages": "all",

I love this module especially in use together with the MMM-navbar.
Is there any config using existing code that will let me make it return me to “default” page after a given period of time after changing page?

[Veldrovive]

@Brandenborg
This is not a default function of this module. However, if you can edit a small amount of code, it should be easy to implement.
Just copy these lines of code right after line 235 of MMM-Page-Selector.js. This lines should be selectPage(payload);

clearTimeout(self.default_timeout);
if(![0, this.config.defaultPage].includes(payload)){
    self.default_timeout = setTimeout(() => {
        selectPage(this.config.defaultPage);
    }, TIME)
}

Then just replace TIME with the number of milliseconds you want to remain on the page before it automatically switches back to default. You may also have to change the 0 in the if statement if your default page isn’t at the 0th position.

[Brandenborg]

@Veldrovive thanks a lot. I should manage that.
I recon the 0 position is the first page I define the contents of?

[Veldrovive]

@Brandenborg
The 0 should be the position of your default page in the page list. The furthest left is 0.

[Brandenborg]

@Veldrovive
Thanks. And thank you for a really useful module!

[Veldrovive]

@Brandenborg
The latest version of this module now has this as a (Not very well tested) feature.
You can now specify a restoreDefault prop in the MMM-Page-Selector config with the number of seconds you want before it returns to the default page.

Hi first of all thanks for this great module, Works great. I wanto to remotely change the pages which works with this commands:

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

But if I want to go to a specific page it does noct work with this command:

http://ip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification="SELECT_PAGE"&payload="0"

Can somebody tell me whats wrong?

[Veldrovive]

@m1scha
Hello, glad you’re enjoying the module.

I am assuming that your page has some name that is not "0".

I haven’t extensively tested with magic mirror remote, but I imagine the issue is with setting payload to be a string. When it gets a string, MMM-Page-Selector assumes it is the name of the page, not a page index. If an integer is sent, it assumes it is a page index.

I don’t know how remote works, but you might be able to use
http://ip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=“SELECT_PAGE”&payload=0

Or you could specify your page name as
http://ip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=“SELECT_PAGE”&payload=“YOUR_PAGE_NAME”

remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=“SELECT_PAGE”&payload=0

Hi, thanks for you reply.
I tested this in several variations, but I get a sucess Message, but change of page.

[Veldrovive]

@m1scha
I checked out MMM-Remote-Control and it is just a problem with string representations.

remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=“SELECT_PAGE”&payload=0 sends the literal notification “SELECT_PAGE” including the quotes. A more correct request would be remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=SELECT_PAGE&payload=Main which would switch the the page called main.

However, in order to support other modules, pages are 1 indexed by notification so to switch to the first page, you would send remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=SELECT_PAGE&payload=1

Strings that are numbers are handled correctly by MMM-Page-Selector.

@veldrovive Hello! I want to use this module for

1. An intro screen - only for 10 secs
2. Move into screen 2 - stay there

Can I only have one screen to have a time interval and the other doesn’t? If so how?

Good day @Veldrovive thanks for the brilliant work you have done on this, and your comments on this is really helpful.

I have an issue to get this going, and been researching and trying for the past two days with no success. I even tried using some of the users on this thread’s config as posted here, and loaded the modules they refer to, but I always end up with a blank page once I load the portion for MMM-Page-Selector.

As soon as I add this portion below, it only display a blank page, or if I comment it out, then the page will display again.

{
			disabled: false,
		        module: "MMM-Page-Selector",
		        position: "top_bar",
		        config: {
			        defaultPage: "Page1",
		                displayTitle: true,
			        selectPageNotif: ["SELECT_PAGE"],
		                incrementPageNotif: ["PAGE_UP"],
		                decrementPageNotif: ["PAGE_DOWN"],
   			     }
		},		

Any advice or even just guidance on where to look further would be greatly appreciated.

MMM-Page-Selector

can u show the messages from where u start MagicMirror

either npm start
or pm2

if using pm2,. then
pm2 logs --lines=100
will show the messages

blank screen is usually a missing library , see

Thanks for responding, is this what you are referring to?

[sdetweil]

@Riaanh how do you start MagicMirror normally?

[sdetweil]

@Riaanh this looks like being started under docker
