How to start MM with a module as default hidden

[dazza120]

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

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

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.

Could you show me how?? I’m using MMM-AssistantMk2 and I can hide and show modules with voice. But I want set another modules hidden by default, and show it by voice.
If I set the modules hidden by MMM-remote-control I can’t show it by mmm-assistantmk2.

You can show modules hidden by others by force with MMM-AssistantMk2.
modify your command(using moduleExec) like this.

exec: (module, params, key) => { 
        module.show(1000, {"force":true})
 }

Hi, solution from @Sean is the ‘cleanest’ :) option (haven’t tested but trust Sean if he says so)

You should ‘sell’ Hello-Lucy! it’s the most awesome-est voice module I’ve used (in Ubuntu)
AND, it was the ‘easiest’ for me to understand how to set up.
Mainly because it was explained very well! :winking_face:
