        @thestigh Would you like to have the module running but not showing in your Magic Mirror? I guess you can do this by not assigning a position for the module.

        example for the clock module

        modules: [
        	{
        		module: "clock",
        		position: "",	// leave this blank
        		config: {
        			// The config property is optional.
        			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
        		}
        	}
        ]

          All of them? Some of them? One of them? Then how will you “show” the module(s)? Easiest solution would be MMM-RemoteControl I guess. Or, there are several voice modules that can do that for you.

            I want to start a specific module as hidden, and show it by issuing a voice command.

            Show/Hide is not the issue, this works fine, but I want the module to start hidden as default when starting MM.

                @dazza120 I’m using Hotword together with AssistantMk2…

                Does Lucy support specifying “start [module] as hidden” ?

                  @thestigh Lucy hides all modules and you tell it what ones you want it to display

                    I don’t want to “sell” Hello-Lucy to anyone and there are other voice modules that he may want to consider so that’s why I worded my answer that way. Lucy does exactly what I want “her” to do but it may be more complicated for some users

                      @thestigh You could combine MMM-pages and MMM-voice and just setup a page with the module and without it. However, this will probably only work if you are talking about 1 module. If you want several to be turned on and off, Lucy is the way to go. I belive Mykle1 has a video with it working as well.

                        This was the first incarnation of Lucy with pages.
