      Anybody know how to start MM with a module default state as hidden?

      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.

                        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.
