MMM-GroveGestures

bolish

“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?

Benjaminh86

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.

Benjaminh86

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

Benjaminh86

@Sean
it’s weird; the sensor is not active if I do not order:

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

would not it come from “chmod + x * .sh” where I hurt something? …

Benjaminh86

@bolish
it works!
thanks for your help

@Benjaminh86
Can’t understand.
Do you need to do that shell command per every execution of MM? Have you reinstalled it?
That commands just need to be done once when you install this module.

And that command isn’t related with chmod + x .sh at all.

Check this.

ls ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GroveGestures/py

There should be grove_gesture_sensor.py besides grove_gesture_sensor.py.RPI and grove_gesture_sensor.py.ATB.
Are those files there?

Benjaminh86

@Sean
I have to make this command every start of the pi, knowing that I do not start the MM automatically (pmm2) time to set everything (npm start).
I’ll be watching tonight with
ls ~ / MagicMirror / modules / MMM-GroveGestures / py

Benjaminh86

@Sean
That’s what happens :
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GroveGestures/py
gesture_print.py grove_gesture_sensor.pyc
grove_gesture_sensor.py grove_gesture_sensor.py.RPI
grove_gesture_sensor.py.ATB

A Former User

@Benjaminh86
If you have those files, you don’t need to execute any manual commands o n MM running

Hi everybody,@Sean and @Benjaminh86
I use this module just for change pages with MMM-Pages and MMM-Pages indicator but after a while, my sensor is unknown.
when i just want to test the sensor with “python gesture_print.py”, i have:

Error with sensor
Paj7620 initialize register finished.

my matrix is good i think:

sudo i2cdetect -y 1

and i have 5 file in /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-GroveGestures/py
I restart Raspberry but the result is the same

Can aybody help me please ?

@MisterT

If you get one similar with this (All address are shown), It would be something wrong.
Only 73 should be shown. There might be dead pin or H/W failure.

MisterT

@Sean thanks for your answer it was a H/W failure I2C was not activate and i don’t know why ? I enabled I2c with raspi-config and shutdown the pi. I pluged my sensor again and it works

@Sean Hi mate, just dipping my toe in to the whole Magic Mirror world and loving it. Was just wondering if there’s any way to control MMM-Carousel and MMM-CECControl using the output from MMM-GroveGestures?

I’m thinking

Clockwise for next slide
Anti clockwise for previous slide
UP to send the wake up signal on HDMI
Down to send the sleep signal on HDMI

A Former User

@jim-dw
Well, I’m not the author of those modules, so Ask these to the creator of MMM-Carousel / MMM-CECControl ;(Or need to check by yourself)

Are there notifications for that purpose?
Or Are there method of module class for that purpose?
Or controllable by external shell script or HTTP API?

At least one of them possible, it could.
