@cr4z33 try adding them using the customCommands config setting (see the develop branch README.

I set the dev branch module like the following:

		{
			module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
			disabled: false,
			customCommand: {
					monitorOnCommand: 'echo on 0 | cec-client -s -d 1',
					monitorOffCommand: 'echo standby 0 | cec-client -s -d 1',
					monitorStatusCommand: 'echo pow 0 | cec-client -s -d 1'
					}
		},

None of the commands are working. :confused_face:
I get the ‘Done’ message, but then nothing happens…

The syntax is 100% correct and working if used in the terminal.

Hi, I can’t see newsfeed options in Module Controls.
Can you help me please?

Cr4z33

@mohace I can.

Double check if you edited anything or try deleting and reinstalling the module?

Hi @shbatm
I already asked this question on git issues on Jopyth’s version but I just figured out that you are the guy behind the custom menu!

Would it be possible to have an action item for a menu?

I mean, when you click on the menu, it opens the menu but also as the ability to trigger an action.

Please check the output of echo pow when your screen is on and off.
The original setting related to screen status into the node.js was NOK for me. (indeed, it is something like “ON” / “OFF” / “HDMI” etc…) but my TV was answering with “power status: on” and “power status: standby”.
So I had to modify line 610 and 620 with my own.

BTW, @shbatm , would be better if those parameters could be configurable also.

I meant not in that menu but in

@bolish OK, but you have to tell me how to do it. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

By the way I have problems turning on and off my TV too.
Even if I edited files to enter the needed CEC commands somehow it doesn’t work (same commands in terminal work fine).

@mohace huh?
I don’t have those menu’s entries at all.
Are you using a custom version of the module or? :confused_face:

@Cr4z33
Make trials with your terminal :

Turn screen on by pasting that in your terminal : echo on 0 | cec-client -s -d 1
Check the feedback status sent by the TV by putting that in terminal : echo pow 0 | cec-client -s -d 1
Remind the result

Do exactly the same with turn off :

Turn screen on by pasting that in your terminal : echo standby 0 | cec-client -s -d 1
Check the feedback status sent by the TV by putting that in terminal : echo pow 0 | cec-client -s -d 1
Remind the result

The 2 results you will get should be updated in node.js line 610 / 620.

@bolish as I wrote before that’s EXACTLY what I already did. ;)

Terminal commands work straight away while the same commands in MMM-Remote-Control have no effect when used by tapping the buttons in the menu.
