How to start MM with a module as default hidden
-
Hi all,
Anybody know how to start MM with a module default state as hidden?
-
@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.

@thestigh not sure why @Mykle1 hasn’t recommend Lucy it seems the best one for what you want to achieve

@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.
