Here it is :

Enough screen for today, I will create the post for this new module on the coming days.
I tried to write the readme file as good as possible, but I will have to work on it again.
Please test it and let me know if any bug…
Thanks @bolish for your support ! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
So today was a good coding day (hopefully because I don’t know when will be the next one…), not all the functionnalities describe yesterday are working, but I have made some extra too…
So the new MMM-SmartWebDisplay version 1 is done , I will describe here the differences according to our previous discussions and then I will put it on GitHub and create a new post on the forum about it.
Going back to the requests :
So @bolish and @rudibarani : you are served ! :winking_face:
If you faced any bug, let me know…
Dear all,
so before to do a new release, let’s think a bit ! :thinking_face:
First, here is a summary of the request/question so far on this forum and on github issue about this module :
Major requests :
Minor requests :
On a technical point of view, the most complicated part to manage several urls or instances is due to the fact that I use a “node_helper” to be able to manage asynchronous tasks to manage the ping functionality. And this node_helper has to be shared between all instances ; and as it is asynchronous, if a new url notifications arrives before the previous ping answer (or timeout), it causes url inversions…
I personally need that ping functionality because I use my module to display the image of a camera that is very oft down…(otherwise I wouldn’t have created this module ! :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye: ), but I guess that several of this module users don’t need it, right ? :question_mark:
=> So my proposal will be to keep this module as it is now (with small bug correction that I found anyway), and to create a new one dedicated to the dynamic url management and able to display several instances.
My proposal for this new module (this is a proposal, let’s see after what I can really do !) :
To clarify : what extra infos to be display bellow the image ? If several URL I can consider to write the name of the next URL.
previous functions of iFrame-Ping that will remains :
previous functions that will be removed :
This dream list seams to me very interesting ! Any other idea ?
Also now… : let’s sleep :sleeping_face: and tomorrow : let’s code !! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:
+1
and could you give us some advice how much you need, for example : if 10% of the forum user gives 10€ each year it’s covers the forum server expenses, or if 10% of MM users gives 5€ each month you could work full time on it, …
@bolish
Hello Bolish,
thanks and happy to see that my module is useful,
I didn’t know the module MMM-GroveGestures so far but I check its documentation and it will be possible on the next version of the iFrame-Ping module to change the URL through the following code :
notificationExec: {
notification: "iFrame_Ping_URL",
payload: {
url: "http:whaturlyoulike.com"
}
}
But it will not be a list of URL to switch between each other, just one url linked to a movement.
I will investigate a bit more this week end…
@rudibarani
Hello rudibarani,
in fact it was my first try (as it is easier…) but I couldn’t succed to make it work and adding this “url”: is the only way I have found to make it work…
Did you try to change the code and it was ok ?
I do my best to find some hours this week end to finally debug my code and be able to release that new version !
On the next version it will be possible to send a new url through http request, but also with the module scheduler or with a rotating button
@rudibarani
Thanks and you are welcome, it’s a pleasure to see that my work is useful and appreciated :-)
I did a little bit more debugging and I also to try to change the URL through a rotating button or through the scheduler and I found some issues on the code I sent you for testing.
Next week I am also traveling but as soon it look like acceptable I will send the new version.
This functionality to be able to change dynamically the URL will really make this module much more interesting than the actual version !
Every module will be able to send a notification to change the url, so many many new possibilities ! :relieved_face:
@rudibarani
Hello,
I guess I managed what you asked, could you please test it before I release it ?
This new version is here : https://github.com/AgP42/MMM-iFrame-Ping/tree/dev
Only the file MMM-iFrame-Ping.js has been modified, so you can copy/paste it on your MM directly and restart your MM.
Then to allow URL modification through Remote-Control you can use the following request :
http://192.168.xx.xx:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION¬ification=iFrame_Ping_URL&payload={%22url%22:%22https://magicmirror.builders/%22}
or
http://192.168.xx.xx:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION¬ification=iFrame_Ping_URL&payload={%22url%22:%22https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qwc2Eq6YXTQ?autoplay=1%22}
(edit : the forum text editor seams not to like my link : this strange symbol “¬” has to be remplaced by “& not” (without the space…))
(edit2 : the “%22” is the URL-encoded form of the symbol ". You can also try directly with ", and if it is not working try with %22 instead)
It’s a cool new functionality ! :smiling_face:
:smiling_face: :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:
Great video and thank for the reference !
@rudibarani
Yes it seams possible to do, but then MMM-Remote-Control has also to be modified to be able to send such notification, no ?
Could you let me know the other modules you uses than catch MMM-Remote-Control notification, so I will look the source code please ?
Thanks,
AgP
