Even though I am not using RPi, I am going to try to reconfigure MMM-button. I will post if I figure something out.

I have a MM setup without the mirror (I’m not pretty, lol). My home dynamic is such that it is hard to remember if someone gave the dog his seizure meds. I have the a chore list on the MM but the kids never seem to remember if they did the meds or not. I can solve this issue with other means but would like to use the MM as a visual cue/reminder.

The end state I was looking for is a Module that changes based upon a button press to either a picture or text signifying that the dog got his meds. Also, the module would reset at midnight each day.

I have some old ESP8266’s laying around and thought to connect a button to ESP and use as HTTP server and send to MM. However, I am running my MM on a HP Mini with Lubuntu and thought a keyboard button could act as the “switch” to toggle the display.

The few things I have found seem to be over engineered for what I am looking for. It just seems that this could be useful to more folks than just me.

I would greatly appreciate your thoughts or direction on how to proceed.

@sdetweil Thanks, I missed the announcement, and didn’t show in my searches. npm install worked. Will check for announcements next time. Thanks for the hard work!!

Tried using update script, didn’t work.
Tried using manual update using git pull, didn’t work.
