I used a similar method to schedule a cron job to control a transistor placed over the push button of my tv. This lets me power the TV on and off instead of using the HDMI CEC method used for computer monitors.

This sounds awesome! Do you think there is a relatively easy way to output from the GPIO instead? I would like to turn my TV off using a transistor being it does not support HDMI-CEC like a monitor does. I’m thinking this might be best discussed with regards to MMM-Remote-Control.

@Jopyth Yes I have it working now! Still not sure why only some modules can be hidden though

@gismo2006 I think I am actually having a similar issue as you. I updated the same module last night using git pull, but the module is not functioning properly. @strawberry-3-141 any chance we need to npm install inside the folder again?

@gismo2006 Are you trying to run “git pull” from the specific module’s folder? You need to cd inside before “git pull” will work.

@fox I also have this issue, but using this line of code did not appear to solve my issue. I assume I run this in the /modules folder? Thank you for your help.

@SvenSommer You’re fast! Thank you!

I am currently using an older TV to run my MagicMirror and I am looking for a way to schedule output to GPIO pins. I would like to place a transistor across the push button power switch to my TV to toggle the TV on and off at different times. Since it is an older TV, it does not support HDMI-CEC to turn the TV on and off. I have been combing through MMM-ModuleScheduler and MMM-Button for ideas, but I am unsure how to proceed. I also stumbled across MagicMirror-Toggle which appears to be exactly what I’m looking for except I don’t need the WiFi integration. I would like to schedule the output to the GPIO pin instead. I would like to avoid using a PIR sensor.

Can someone please help me out or shed some light on how I can achieve this? Here is an image of how I plan to interface the Raspberry Pi with the TV through a transistor, courtesy of MagicMirror-Toggle: GPIO Interface to TV

@LukeCodewalker Thank you for helping out! I’m still stumbling along with the code, but if you have time to add the new http://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/goescolor/goeseast/overview2/color_lrg/latestfull.jpg image this weekend that would be awesome.

@julienstroheker This is awesome! Thank you so much!
