      Hi,

      I have a touch phat that I’d like to use to interact with modules, but the libraries for it are python only.
      That’s fine as I’m familiar with python, but I have no java script experience.
      The interactions that I’m thinking of are similar to those of the MMM-ModuleScheduler, e.g. hiding and displaying etc.

      I think my best bet is to make use of the notifications system and send post requests using the MMM-API module (though I’d be happy to receive other suggestions).

      My problem is that I can’t figure out what the post request should look like.
      The readme on the MMM-API gives this example :
      http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/api/v1/modules/MODULE_NAME/ACTION?payload1key=payload1value&payload2key=payload2value
      but I can’t figure out what the payloadxkey and payloadxvalues should be for, say, hiding or showing a module.
      I’ve looked at js of the MMM-ModuleScheduler and the MMM-Remote-Control but I can’t figure it out.

      Could someone provide me with example post request urls to hide and show the calendar module please, or suggest a better method please?

        Hi,
        what are you trying to do with your buttons?

        Here are some sample links for MMM-Remote-Control:

        Change Pages (to use with MMM-Pages):
        http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=PAGE_DECREMENT
        http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=NOTIFICATION& notification=PAGE_INCREMENT

        Some MM Basic Operations:
        http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=REBOOT
        http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=SHUTDOWN

        Some Display Operations:
        http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT80/remote?action=MONITORON
        http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=MONITOROFF

        Hope that helps.

          Hi, thanks for replying. That’s helpful to see spelled out.

          I’m trying to hide or show the newsfeed module at the moment and trying to figure out the url to do that.

          Based on your post and what I can figure out from the MMM-Remote-Control readme, I’ve tried the following, but they don’t work
          http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=HIDE&payload={%22name%22:%22newsfeed%22}
          http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=HIDE&payload=NEWSFEED
          http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=HIDE& notification=newsfeed

          I’m obviously not interpreting the info in the readme correctly. Can you suggest a url that will hide the module?

            The link has to look like:
            http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=HIDE&module=module_7_newsfeed

            You have to use the right module name, in my case it is “module_7_newsfeed”, you can find this out by opening your MM in your firefox browser and use F12 Button and check the HTML source, what the name of your newsfeed module is.

            Hope this helps.

              It does - the buttons work as required now. Thank you :)
              So that looks like it’s the position of the module in the config file so it’ll remain static unless I change the config for some reason.
              I really appreciate that. Thanks again.

                And how to trigger an alert from python or bash (curl)?
                Is possible to show an image in the alert popup?

                  From python, the following will result in an alert

                  >>> import requests
                  >>> url = 'http://MAGIC_MIRROR_IP:PORT/remote?action=SHOW_ALERT&title="This is the title"&message="And this is the message"'
                  >>> requests.get(url)
                  

                  I can’t answer as to how you’d place an image within the alert though
