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

[shbatm]

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

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

Can this also update modules like MMM-Remote-Control-Repositories, in just this one module?

Yes. This version pulls the list of modules from the Wiki and updates the modules.json file when its started (at most 1x per day).

@shbatm cheers I’ve looked through the read me and I am completely lost, it’s not just like doing a git clone and then putting stuff in the config file 🧠😁

@dazza120 Sorry, I’ve been away. What are you lost with? Can I help point you in the right direction?

If you’re just looking to install this version, see a couple posts up. For the most part it functions just like the other version, but adds a lot of advanced control features on top–like controlling your mirror from a browser or home automation controller (via API) or adding module control menus to the existing “/remote.html” page.

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.
