Problem server client configuration
-
if you are trying to start over an ssh session, you need to add this before the node clientonly
if [ -z “$DISPLAY” ]; then #If not set DISPLAY is SSH remote or tty
export DISPLAY=:0 # Set by default display

@akkor - Ugh. Why would you want to use Electron if you didn’t have to? There’s already a web browser on your Pi. Just point it at the MM server and be done with it.
I’ve learned that you can get Chromium to start in kiosk mode at a particular URL with about an hour of research and testing. Minimal swearing was involved.

@bhepler Electron is already a premade solution that works great. However using Chromium in Kiosk mode is also a nice and easy solution. And it may solve the issue here.
@Akkor How to open Chromium in kioksmode on startup: https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/40631/setting-up-a-kiosk-with-chromium

@idoodler @bhepler
I Have setup chromium to autostart and it’s ok
But I would like use Electron to use the voice command on client like this one https://github.com/mykle1/Hello-Lucy or https://github.com/joanaz/MMM-MirrorMirrorOnTheWall but I don’t know if it’s doable in server/client mode -
@akkor I don’t think you can use Hello-Lucy in client mode.
But I bet the developer @Mykle1 knows it. -
ok so wait for @Mykle1

But I bet the developer @Mykle1 knows it.I never even thought about trying it. I just run standard installations. If @idoodler doesn’t think it will work, it probably won’t. However, you could always try for yourself.
-
@mykle1 I am currently unable to test it. I quickly checked your code on my phone, but I didn‘t quite got your code :flushed_face:
I am curious, how did you make the voice recognition?
-
It could be fine if someone really skilled test Hello Lucy server/client mode

I didn’t mean that YOU should test it. I meant that @Akkor should test it as it is he that is looking for that functionality.
I am curious, how did you make the voice recognition?
I didn’t. MMM-voice was already written by @strawberry-3-141. It’s a fantastic piece of software. I just made some additions/modifications to original so that I could hide/show individual modules, hide/show pages of modules, hide show all modules, turn the display on and off, audio, all through the use of notifications. I use it every day for a year now. It’s stable, very fast and does exactly what I want it to do.

I could test but I need your assistance 'couse I’m not a programmer
I’m just good following guide… :( -

I’m just good following guide…Why I think it won’t work. You’ll be running MM and MMM-voice on the server machine. The client machine will only have a browser pointed at MM running on the server machine. The client has no way of accepting the voice commands because only the browser is running.
Now, if you had a microphone (at the client machine) with a cable that reached all the way to where the server machine is . . . :)
