@johnnyboy trying… trying LOL Great to see you!!!

As @buzzkc has stated about Device Handlers, and Im sure you have (Must have?) already done this… these can be found in the IDE, which are C&P from github.
There is a constantly updated list of DH’s on the ST Forum, so worth checking that out to compare with the devices you have, and wish to manipulate.

Me personaly, I use WebCoRE to do my manipulation… and If I need to add anything that is not the “Norm” then I would simply create a Virtual switch on the IDE, and then point towards that, with my chosen manipulation… and if you have used WebCoRE before, then you know it has limitless possibilities. Bad comparason, but I look at WebCoRE as IFTTT on Steroids

Some things I do, requires using several items… like my door sensor for example - It opens (Trigger ) and it then informs ST… which then informs WebCoRE, whitch then informs EchoSpeaks to then go through Amazon, to speak my chosen text, on my chosen Amazon devices - “Warning, Side door has been opened… Alarm sequence will initiate in T-Minus 20 seconds”
I also added in another “Then” which will turn my chosen lights on @ 100%, until door is closed… and also to turn on my smart plug, which has a Siren attached, to activate after the 20 second time, also to start recording on CCTV in that location.

The lag on this is about 2 seconds… so not a real concern given the hoops it has to jump through beforehand.

I have only ever needed to slightly alter a DH once, for a Hive Sensor… but that was to simply change a 6second delay to a 12 second delay… purely because the original usage would be going through 1 loop, and I was going through 4, so need to extend the timeout.
I also have my Hive Heating controllable through ST of sorts, using ActionTiles and placing Hive on the screen there.

IF my MM was Touchscreen, and I had the time to work it out, I would have loved to be able to place several icons/Tiles (Virtual Switches) onto it, and control numerous ST devices from there… But I found it far far quicker, and easier, to simply use a Tablet… with the benefit that I can add several other tablets throughout the house, each with either control of that zone only, or the ability to swipe to another zone from the same screen… by creating a Link tile in every window to go to a chosen zone.

You could also create Media Tiles… showing a constant stream of several cameras… and make that Tile as small or as big as you like… I have Netflix/Amazon/Kodi/IPTV as tiles too, so one click, and it pops up for me.

And, as mentioned, it will aslo link to any app you have on the device you are using, by creating a link tile to it… which will open up for you directly in that screen/tile… and I find this usefull when playing music through my Sonos system, and can bring up the full library to choose from, and be able to control the speakers too.

I’m not sure by your OP that you are wanting to manipulate the data to then create something to use on the MM framework, or whether you simply want to manipulate the data just to alter things to your own suiting?
But if you have read anything above that you need any more info on, then ask away…

@Mykle1

… Hey up Amigo… How’s tricks?

I’m always lurking here … from time to time, to keep up with what you guys are up to

Whenever our other Amigo posts a question like that, I can hear his brain cells clicking away, knowing something good is being worked on

@cowboysdude

Hey up Amigo…

I use ST, along with WebCoRE, Automateit, Broadlink RM Pro and Mini (Blackbean) and a host of Alexa devices… and TinyCam Pro as the transcoder for my CCTV to display on Action Tiles… which I have on a 10" Tablet - as a control panel for all my Automation kit that controls about 90% of my home.

Not sure if I can be of any help though, as Im sure you just want to use/utilise/grab the data onto/into MM? Much like what ActionTiles does with ST equipment eh?

I thought you had already set up your whole automation as Tiles on your PC… iirc?

That would be something else if you managed to get this onto MM… coupled with the TouchScreen overlay.

The only 2 household items I have on MM are Sonos, and Hive… Sonos still works good… purely a visual obviously, but Hive is not so good, so kinda gave up on that on MM.

At least with using ActionTiles (on a Touch screen), I have full control over everything, as well as using Alexa too of course, but having the Central control panel comes to it’s own for when guests are here and obviously do not know the voice commands - They simply use the Tablet.

As said, not sure I can help out on grabbing the ST data for MM, but if you want any info on the above kit I use, then I am only too willing to tell you what I can.

Did you format the SD to use ALL the available space, for MM? and not just allocate it a small portion?

@sdetweil said in What is proper procedure to uninstall MM for a fresh install?:

@johnnyboy Stretch… Jesse pretty old… Buster just out

Thanks. I ended up simply flashing the sd card for Stretch, and starting all over again, rather than build on what was already there… but good to know just to rename the MM folder, to re-do a fresh install.

It worked for me.

Thanks… ^^^ This worked for me too now.
Appreciate all the help on this guys.

Thanks… will play around with that and see if that helps… Strange why doing what I did above shuts down PM2 though?

Still need to figuire out how to rotate the screen though.

What GL driver are you using?

G1 GL (Full KMS) OpenGL desktop driver with full KMS

Now I switched to the full kms one and the solution you just tried works…

Tried everything above again, but… Still will not rotate, and again lost PM2?.. All very strange… Maybe needs a bug fix of sorts? ( display_rotate=1 in sudo nano /boot/config.txt was soooooo perfect )

Will now try the Custom CSS approach and see if that will be any better?

@Knapoc said in How do I now Rotate display ?:

so just create the folder… mkdir -p /home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi

Thanks, I entered as you suggested, and then entered the lines from above… nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart and to then insert @xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right… then did a reboot, but display is still normal, and have now lost PM2 as it just goes straight to desktop now.

PM2 Start procures - [pm2] [ERROR] File ecosystem.config.js not found

MM worked perfect and PM2 worked as it booted into the MM… until I did as stated above and it has now done something?

EDIT - PM2 has worked again.

Still need to figuire out how to rotate the screen though.

I’ve just upgraded Jessie to Stretch… and did a fresh install of MM.
Last time I set MM up I done the - display_rotate=1 in sudo nano /boot/config.txt… but obviosly things have changed since I done that first time around…

so can someone tell me what is the new way of rotating the display now?
I tried to do what I read in another post, - sudo raspi-config. Go to the Advanced Options menu and select A7 GL Driver. Next, select the G1 GL (Full KMS) OpenGL desktop driver with full KMS. nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart and to then insert @xrandr --output HDMI-1 --rotate right… but the Terminal says - Directory ‘/home/pi/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi’ does not exist?
