MMM-GroveGestures

@bolish

you seem to know how to do things better than me; there are some who understand faster than others, I must be part of the 2nd categories!
I already installed remote control that works well. I will try with all the information you give me as soon as I have time (I am not at home now).
it may seem a little easy for me to ask you your scripts, but it allows me to understand the operation and interactions, so I want to see them when you have time.
Thanks for your help :)

Hi, I’m interrested in using this module (Great job by the way).

But in hardware I have number of choice :

https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Fast-Free-Ship-Based-on-PAJ7620U2-Gesture-Recognition-Sensor-9-Gesture-Recognition-Grove-Gesture-Recognition-Sensor/32796887595.html
This one seam to be the same as yours at 22.33€

But there other with the same "chipset’ :
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/PAJ7620U2-Divers-Geste-Reconnaissance-Capteur-Module-Pour-Arduino-Int-gr-9-geste-IIC-interface-reconnaissance-intelligente/32963443120.html
At 3.52€ … The only “difference” I see is the number of pin : 5 instead of 4… there is a “INT” Pin… do you know if it’s compatible and what’s the use of this “INT” pin ?

@Screech
I’m not annexpert so I cannot declare, but…
I think INT means Interrupt, It can give additional feature about interruptions to device. Anyway I think it would work when INT is not connected, but not sure. Sorry.

@Sean
Thank you for the info ;) I just command one to test ;)
Cya in about 1 month (when I receiv and test it) I give you a feedback then :D

Here is an extract of mine that should help you to understand. You just have to tweak the notification and pages based on your setup.

Hello @bolish,

thanks for sharing the script. I will watch this carefully ;)

@bolish
I see in your MMM-notificationtrigger module that you have a MONITOROFF action.
I imagine that we can associate a gesture command in Grove Gestures, for example: I make the gesture high, it turns on the screen.
I would like to do that but I do not understand how to integrate it into Grove Gestures …
If I do :

“UP”: {
notificationExec: {
notification: “REMOTE_ACTION”,
payload: {
action: “MONITORON”,
module: “MMM-Remote-Control”,
}

And in MMM-notificationtrigger:

{
// MONITOR_ON - turns screen on
trigger: “MONITOR_ON”,
fires: [
{
fire: “REMOTE_ACTION”,
payload: {
action: “MONITORON”,
                         module: “MMM-Remote-Control”,
}
}
]
}

is it good?..

[bolish]

@Benjaminh86
Not really…

“MONITORON” is already an action which is managed by MMM-REMOTECONTROL so you don’t need MMM-Notificationtrigger for that.

You just need MMM-GroveGesture to send it :

		        				"UP": {
						        notificationExec: {
						          notification: "REMOTE_ACTION",
							    payload: {
							  	action: "MONITORON",
								     },	 // you don't need to refer to a module name for the MONITORONN action (only necessary for HIDE and SHOW)
						        }

But you need to make sure that MMM-REMOTEControl is configured in the right way so that when it receives “MONITORON” it sends the right command (depending if you use HDMI, CEC, etc…)

Regards

[Benjaminh86]

@bolish
thank you
when you say: “But you need to make sure that MMM-REMOTEControl is configured in the right way”, when I send the request http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8080…MONITOROFF, it works.
is that enough, or do I have to add something to the MMM-Remote-Control script?

[bolish]

No, if it’s works by sending the request, it should work with Gesture also!
