[MMM-Remote-Control](v2-dev) Extensible REST API, Dynamic Menus, and Socket Communications, plus other updates

[robiv8]

Is there any way to track traffic from remote control Nothing is visible in pm2 logs.
A kind debuging or like.
Alert it does not work. It comes the OK for transmit but nothing appears. Restart works and also monitor ON OFF.
But the browser does not refresh again.
Everything works as long as I only have the sample config.
But as soon as I have several other modules running (Page-Selector, Buttons, DWD-Warn-Wetter, PublicTransportHafas, etc.), it is no longer possible.
I would like to know what blocks the module.

@robiv8 I don’t have a debug mode, but you can try adding:

console.log(notification, payload); to Line #988 of node_helper.js to print all notifications received by the back-end from other modules; or console.log(query) to Line #644. If you are using the API, you should be getting a response back in the browser or Postman.

Looking at your list, I have a sneaking suspicion that Page-Selector is causing the issues, just because it may be inadvertently suspending the module. If you troubleshoot and find that to be the case, and can’t find a work around with that module, you can try using MMM-Carousel w/ Navigation which is what Page-Selector was originally based off of. I know there is an option in that module to “exclude” a module from being suspended.

@shbatm
Thanks for your explanation
I will try it tonight and then report it.

And yes, I also suspect that it is the page selector.
Whereby I set “Alert, notification, buttons and podcast2” to exclude. And nevertheless.
I’ll take a look.

@shbatm I’ve done the Italian translation if you want to add it. ;)

@shbatm
are you sure with console.log(notification, payload); to Line #988
my node_helper.js is going only to line 958

[shbatm]

@cr4z33 thanks! I’ll add it when I get a chance.

@robiv8 make sure your are on the develop branch (git checkout develop from a command line inside the module folder).

OK So i can see that:

REMOTE_CLIENT_CONNECTED {}
0|mm  | REMOTE_ACTION { data: 'translations' }
0|mm  | REMOTE_ACTION { action: 'SHOW_ALERT',
0|mm  |   type: 'alert',
0|mm  |   title: 'Test',
0|mm  |   message: 'This is a test text',
0|mm  |   timer: '4' }

but nothing happened!
The Devtools says:

alert is suspended.
updatenotification is suspended.

so I mean you are right with MMM-Page-Selector
Good to know on the one hand,
but on the other SHIT
I spent a lot of time making it look and working with the page selector.
Now I can start over :-(

One more question!
Now I have 6 pages that I use with physical buttons.
If I restart the setup now with Carousel which example am I taking?
Global, Positional or Slides
I found it out myself. :-)

Thank you
