MMM-GroveGestures

@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?..

@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…)

@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!

@bolish

Great!
I will try tonight the adaptation I made of your script.
I put the action “MONITOROFF” in the “Default_Mode” part of Grove Gestures, that’s it?

Hello @bolish,

thanks to you! everything is working!
however, I thought Grove Gestures would activate automatically, but I have to make the command line for the sensor to be active:
cd ~ / MagicMirror / modules / MMM-GroveGestures / py
cp grove_gesture_sensor.py.RPI grove_gesture_sensor.py
Is this normal?
Another question about MMM-Pages; I would like to display the Google Calendar calendar on page 1 and the holiday calendar on page 2, but I do not know how to differentiate and name them on MMM-Pages …
Do you have an idea?

@Benjaminh86 said in MMM-GroveGestures:

cd ~ / MagicMirror / modules / MMM-GroveGestures / py
cp grove_gesture_sensor.py.RPI grove_gesture_sensor.py

It is described on instruction for installation. And that command is not for activation. I provide 2 scripts for each of Raspberry Pi and Asus TinkerBoard. you need to select one for your device. You don’t need to do that job again after once you did.

The real activation would be performed in the module itself on every running of MM.

@Benjaminh86
You have to search a bit on the forum.
One idea could be to create 2 calendars instances.
See below post extract :

well… I believe it’s far from being perfect…but at least it seems to do the job…

I created a “new” module which does exactly same / has the same code as the one I want to use, but has a different name (folder named “MMM-Calendar2” -> file named “MMM-Calendar2.js” -> within the line Module.register(‘MMM_Calendar2’)).
Not in the default module folder but into the 3rd party module folder…

And put instance 1 on page 1 and isntance 2 on page 2.

Hello @Sean,
I will look at this in more detail in the module.
Thank you again for your work.

@bolish
I will explore this track.
Thanks to you ; you already helped me a lot!
