[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
    }
},

@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
