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

@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.

[shbatm]

@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 :-(

[robiv8]

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

@shbatm I need to replace the monitor ON / OFF commands with these TV ones from the package ‘cec-client’.

Where do I have to look at?

TV ON:
echo on 0 | cec-client -s -d 1

TV OFF:
echo standby 0 | cec-client -s -d 1

TV Status:
echo pow 0 | cec-client -s -d 1

I have to Remove from jopyth or not

You can checkout my fork/branch without removing @Jopyth’s by adding a remote:

$ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control
$ git remote add shbatm https://github.com/shbatm/MMM-Remote-Control.git
$ git fetch shbatm
$ git checkout -b shbatm-develop shbatm/develop
$ npm install

After that you can switch back and forth using git checkout master and git checkout shbatm-develop

@shbatm
I followed this and I am on the dev branch but when I launch the remote in browser I don’t see any of the added features?

[shbatm]

@swvalenti Most of the changes are in the background with the API and are enabled by default, but the new front-end features have to be turned on in your config:

{
    module: 'MMM-Remote-Control'
    // uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
    // , position: 'bottom_left'
    // you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
    config: {
        customCommand: {},  // Optional, See "Using Custom Commands" below
        customMenu: "custom_menu.json", // Optional, See "Custom Menu Items" below
        showModuleApiMenu: true, // Optional, Enable the Module Controls menu
        pm2ProcessName: "mm",  // Optional, if you don't use the default PM2 process, provide the name here.
        apiKey: "",         // Optional, See API/README.md for details
    }
},

@shbatm please see my post. ;)

I am unable to switch back to master after git checkout master in the $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control what am I doing wrong?

@shbatm so I found out by myself the lines to edit in node_helper.js.

I can succesfully turn off the TV by using the remote module, but for some unknown reason I can’t turn it on… :thinking_face:
Running the command from the terminal works perfectly.

@swvalenti what does the command say? also do git branch to see what branch you are on

[swvalenti]

@sdetweil on the dev branch below is the error

git checkout master
error: pathspec ‘master’ did not match any file(s) known to git.

[sdetweil]

@swvalenti ok, what does git branch say

[swvalenti]

@sdetweil develop

• shbatm-develop

[sdetweil]

@swvalenti so there is no branch called ‘master’
