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

@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
    }
},

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’

swvalenti

@sdetweil oh boy that is odd, how do I get the master back?

sdetweil

@swvalenti rename the current folder/directory out of the way, and git clone the remote repo (your fork or his ) again.

then get to the right branch, and then copy any modified files from the saved repo into this new copy,
once complete, remove the old saved directory

sdetweil

@swvalenti the master repo has master and develop as branches

shbatm

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

Cr4z33

@shbatm OK thanks I will try that tomorrow.

@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.
