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!

@in_a_days Keep up the good work! I’m in the same boat stumbling through code as I go haha

@in_a_days How are things going? Any luck so far?

@SvenSommer That is the exact image I found as well. Any chance we could make this work @LukeCodewalker?

@in_a_days Thank you so much for working on this! I’ve been hoping for an NBA module for a while now

@Kobie @Wieber Good news! Found out my mail module wasn’t connecting properly with my 2-step verification enabled. After switching to a “less secure app password” my mail app loaded correctly and no longer continued to stall and chew up resources in the background. As a result I was able to remotely connect once again and the scheduler works!

@Kobie I’m worried it may be something with the limited processing power of the Pi. Since the scheduler relies on the remote module as well I double checked the remote module by trying to connect remotely from my phone, but the webpage would just hang. This may be an unrelated issue, but I’ll look into it more.

When I shut down my mirror manually I see my email module is throwing errors in the background too so maybe that is drawing too many resources as well? Hard to say, I’ll report back if I find a solution.

This is awesome! Any chance of a view with North America centric? @LukeCodewalker

@Wieber @Kobie

Thank you for your help! Have you had any luck scheduling your monitor to turn on and off? I can’t get mine to work with the scheduler module.

Thank you sooooo much for this guide! I spent the past weekend slaving through @evos posts as well, but unfortunately they are missing some key information. I managed to get Kweb running after digging through the Kweb manual, but it definitely wasn’t easy. I only had one problem left; executing the second script to run Kweb and it appears I also forgot to add sudo before xinit. Adding sudo should clear my issues up tonight.

Thank you again! Out of curiosity, have you found any modules that don’t work yet on the Pi Zero that work on the Pi 3?

EDIT: By the way, I got unclutter working by adding:
