My first module

[gismo2006]

Hi guys,

I like to write my first modul. Its a fun modul and didn’t have a reason for anyone. I like to learn to write a module. So I can leaerning a lot I think.

I have create a folder in modules. Called Sounds I have put it into the config file andy the Mirror stats correctly Juhuuuu! :-) First step reached. :-D But now the Problem… Th module didn’t work. For a first test the only think the modul should do is react on a Message which is send by the Voicecontrolmodul by @alexyak. I have creste for this test a new Hotword calles test. I copy the pmdl file and paste the rigt things into my config file. So far, so good. I think the Problem was the Sounds.js file in my own modul folder Sounds. OHH, before I forget. The Sounds.sh skript is only a shell script and worked fine too. I habe write chmod +x Sounds.sh to create a runable file.

Here the code, maybe someone can look a this and whre my misstake is :-)

/* global Module */

/* Magic Mirror

• Module: HelloWorld
• By Michael Teeuw http://michaelteeuw.nl
• MIT Licensed.
  */

Module.register(“Sounds”,{

notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) {
    if (notification === "test"){ 
        exec("sudo /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/Sounds/Sounds.sh")
}; 

// Override dom generator.
getDom: function() {
	var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
	wrapper.innerHTML = this.config.text;
	return wrapper;
}

});

@gismo2006 you’re missing a { and , (instead of semicolon)

notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) {
    if (notification === "test"){ 
        exec("sudo /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/Sounds/Sounds.sh");
    }
},

@strawberry-3-141 Thank you for your help. but it didn’t change anything. The problem is the same. Everythink started fine but they didn’t play the Sounds.sh…

@gismo2006 try to debug where you’re module is getting stuck like this

notificationReceived: function(notification, payload, sender) {
    if (notification === "test"){
        Log.info("test notification received"); 
        exec("sudo /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/Sounds/Sounds.sh");
    }
},

if you don’t see this message in the dev console you propably misconfigured your voice command

[gismo2006]

Ok I will do what you say.

Ok I have done

I have found the Problem. the dev consoles says

Sounds.js:15 Uncaught ReferenceError: exec is not defined.

Can i delete the word exec? But I think I have to use it to run the script, right?

@gismo2006 yeah you have to create a node_helper to run the script and send a socketnotification t the node_helper and there you can run the script

[gismo2006]

Ok, Thank you for your help. I will try myself to go this next step…

line 10, 23-31, 213 will help you

[gismo2006]

Thank you I have looked in the notification Node_helper.js code which was posted in the Voicecontrol post from @tyho. And it works now fine. Now I can learning something new. To grow up my modul and finding a really reason for my module :-D

But I like to say Thank you. You helped me a lot. :-)
