This is what I did on my side :
if (["MONITORTOGGLE", "MONITORSTATUS", "MONITORON"].indexOf(action) !== -1) { screenStatus = exec(monitorStatusCommand, opts, (error, stdout, stderr) => { if (stdout.indexOf("TV is off") !== -1 || stdout.indexOf("false") !== -1) { // REPLACE "TV is off" or "false" by "power status: standby" // Screen is OFF, turn it ON status = "off"; if (action === "MONITORTOGGLE" || action === "MONITORON") { exec(monitorOnCommand, opts, (error, stdout, stderr) => { this.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res, { monitor: "on" }); }); this.sendSocketNotification("USER_PRESENCE", true); return; } } else if (stdout.indexOf("HDMI") !== -1 || stdout.indexOf("true") !== -1) { // REPLACE "HDMI" OR "true" by "power status: on" // Screen is ON, turn it OFF status = "on"; if (action === "MONITORTOGGLE") { this.monitorControl("MONITOROFF", opts, res); return;At least this is what worked for me.

@bolish what about the previous lines?
I thought that was the part to edit by replacing monitor commands with HDMI CEC ones like mines?
monitorControl: function(action, opts, res) { let status = "unknown"; let monitorOnCommand = (this.initialized && "monitorOnCommand" in this.thisConfig.customCommand) ? this.thisConfig.customCommand.monitorOnCommand : "echo on 0 | cec-client -s -d 1"; let monitorOffCommand = (this.initialized && "monitorOffCommand" in this.thisConfig.customCommand) ? this.thisConfig.customCommand.monitorOffCommand : "echo standby 0 | cec-client -s -d 1"; let monitorStatusCommand = (this.initialized && "monitorStatusCommand" in this.thisConfig.customCommand) ? this.thisConfig.customCommand.monitorStatusCommand : "echo pow 0 | cec-client -s -d 1"; -
No. From my understanding, you only need to modify the customcommands into your config file not in the node.js.
The one you mention into your post (extract of node.js) are the default ones, don’t modify them.
What you need to modify into node.js are the ouput conditions as I posted above because the way the node.js is written (and how it’s explained on git) those commands will only work if your ouput are :
customCommand: { monitorOnCommand: 'shell command to turn on your monitor', monitorOffCommand: 'shell command to turn off your monitor', monitorStatusCommand: 'shell command to return status of monitor, must return either "HDMI" or "true" if screen is on; or "TV is Off" or "false" if it is off to be recognized' }That’s why we need to replace those conditions into the node.js by the one we get with our TV’s (which are different than the “true” / “flase” “TV is on” etc… but are “power status : stand by” and “power status: on”).
Clear now??
-
@bolish sorry, but it is quite hard to get the difference for me lol. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
Do you mind doing please a pastebin of your edited node_helper.js so that I can try it out?
-
Just replace related lines by the following ones (it’s approx. around line 610) into your node.js :
if (["MONITORTOGGLE", "MONITORSTATUS", "MONITORON"].indexOf(action) !== -1) { screenStatus = exec(monitorStatusCommand, opts, (error, stdout, stderr) => { if (stdout.indexOf("power status: standby") !== -1 || stdout.indexOf("false") !== -1) { // MODIF DONE HERE // Screen is OFF, turn it ON status = "off"; if (action === "MONITORTOGGLE" || action === "MONITORON") { exec(monitorOnCommand, opts, (error, stdout, stderr) => { this.checkForExecError(error, stdout, stderr, res, { monitor: "on" }); }); this.sendSocketNotification("USER_PRESENCE", true); return; } } else if (stdout.indexOf("power status: on") !== -1 || stdout.indexOf("true") !== -1) { // MODIF DONE HERE // Screen is ON, turn it OFF status = "on"; if (action === "MONITORTOGGLE") { this.monitorControl("MONITOROFF", opts, res); return; -
@bolish OK thanks now the TV can be turned off succesfully, but still can’t be turned on ( although I keep getting the
Done!confirmation message ) . :thinking_face: -
@bolish OK something weird happened.
After let’s say 1 minute the TV turned ON by itself (can’t say really…) and there’s now no signal on the (proper) HDMI port.
I have the feeling the module is still sending monitor commands and NOT cec-utils package ones! :thinking_face:
-
@Cr4z33 indeed, strange, I will check my code this evening (I did it by “memory” since this morning…).
-
@bolish in addition to what I wrote in my last post I forgot that I actually have entered the custom commands in the module config section so it is twice weird as it should execute those commands.

@mohace huh?
I don’t have those menu’s entries at all.
Are you using a custom version of the module or? :confused_face:Not at all. You can see same pic in shbatm second post, after the first one you replyed.
@shbatm said in [MMM-Remote-Control](v2-dev) Extensible REST API, Dynamic Menus, and Socket Communications, plus other updates:
Additional Features Added:
- Dynamic Module Control menu – uses the new API to create a Module Control menu on the remote page to control other modules via notifications.
- Custom Menu – ability to specify your own custom menu items from a file (for advanced users)
- Use PM2 API to control restarts/stops of MM. Can also support starting/stopping other PM2 scripts by passing processName: “scriptToUse” in the query payload.
Example Dynamic Menu for MMM-Carousel w/ Navigation
It seems that you need activate some features in modules to show them in this menu. But I don’t know what needs Newsfeed, for to have active his entry.
-
@mohace Oh yes you are correct I forgot that we can have custom entries indeed.
Well in my case Newsfeed is showing up by default without having to enable manually something. :man_shrugging_light_skin_tone:
-
I don’t have these entries
reinstalled twice the module without luck.
when i first installed this module the entries was there .
my config.js
{ module: 'MMM-Remote-Control', position: 'bottom_left', config: { customCommand: {}, customMenu: 'custom_menu.json', showModuleApiMenu: true, apiKey: '' } }, -
Any idea why my remote control looks like this? It’s lacking the right buttons etc…
-
I need to add some custom commands to control MMM-RTSPStream streams like if they were tv channel buttons, but I am not skilled enough to understand the interested readme section. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
@shbatm could you please help me adding one stream button (as example for all the others to add)?
All I need is to run a combo of ‘RTSP-STOP all’ first (I am using OMXplayer therefore I prefer to kill any running stream first) and ‘RTSP-PLAY streamX’ immediately after.
-
When I press Restart MagicMirror it doesn’t restart…if I hit Refresh Browser the browser refreshes. Any idea why Restart MagicMirror command doesn’t work? Running latest updates on all platforms.
-
@swvalenti Yeah, same here. Would really like to find an answer for this…

It looks like @shbatm is not following this forum since many months.
Therefore @bolish or someone else could you please post your custom menu entries code so that I can better figure out how to enter that MMM-RTSPStream code?
The related README section didn’t make so much sense to me. :man_shrugging_medium_skin_tone:

Using Raspberry Pi Zero W with latest version of Buster. MM2 working . used command in first post to install MMM-RemoteControl. Used Master Branch and not Dev. Module directory created sucessfully. Edited config.js with appropriate entries. I dont have anything displaying on screen besides the clock and Holidays .
Its supposed to display the default webpage in the center of the screen. I dont see that . Just black in that area.
Here is the config.js
