Ok so i got it to work with MMM-Remote-Control, So now i am wondering how can you have multiple commands, like send multiple notifications to for ex. turn on and off the monitor? Any ideas? @Sean

its not the this module its MMM-OnScreenMenu, because when i click the turn the monitor off button on the menu, nothing happens

Any ideas how to fix this ?

Any ideas anyone?

@sdetweil Idk some people got this too work, and i have been looking for something like this for a long time,
@Sean When you get time please do have a look

Thanks and sorry for multiple pings

@sdetweil the notification is being but it isnt doing anything to the monitor

@Sean So i followed all the steps and looked at the conversation you had with smackenzie, but i still cant get my monitor to turn off, here my
config.js

    {
    			module: 'MMM-OnScreenMenu',
    			position: 'bottom_right',
		},
    {
    module: "MMM-NotificationTrigger",
    config: {
      useWebhook: true,
      triggers: [
        {
          trigger: "MONITOR_OFF_FROM_IFTTT",
          fires: [
            {
              fire: "ONSCREENMENU_PROCESS_ACTION",
              payload: {"actionName": "monitorOff"}
            }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
    },

IFTTT request

{ "notification": "MONITOR_OFF_FROM_IFTTT", "payload": null }

and here the log when i say Magic (the keyword)

reqpost? { notification: 'MONITOR_OFF_FROM_IFTTT', payload: null }

Also if i were using MMM-Remote-Control besides MMM-OnScreenMenu, how would it work?

@Sean If possible could you give an example of how our config file should look like if we wanted to use the google home to turn on and off the monitor?

@sdetweil you usually go into the app and then click set up new device and it searches for a device and for me when it searches it cant find any device

@JoChef2 I dont think it works, i downloaded it and did npm install, and my config is like this

    {
      module: 'MMM-AlexaControl',
      position: 'middle_center',
      config:{
        image: false,
        pm2ProcessName: "MagicMirror",
        vcgencmd: "vcgencmd",
      }
    },

and my google home mini is unable to detect the magic mirror

@JoChef2 Will this module work with a google home mini?

Re: [MMM-AlexaOnOff] Simple Mirror Control from External Home Assistant (Alexa/Google Home/HASS.io)
@sdetweil is this module still working, because i tried it out and my google home mini cant find the device ?

@sdetweil so, i have my python script running in the background, and in my nodeHelper.js i would have

import {PythonShell} from 'python-shell';

let pyshell = new PythonShell('Swiping.py');  // < --- whatever your script name, in the module folder
 
// the .on handler gets called each time the pythin script writes a message to stdout
pyshell.on('message', function (message) {
  // received a message sent from the Python script (a simple "print" statement)
  console.log(message);
  // send info up to modulename.js
  this.sendSocketNotification("movement", message)
});

could you explain what movement and message mean in the sendSocketNotification?

@sdetweil Also how do i make it so that the python file is always running?

@sdetweil

var dataFile=["Archer S01E02Someshow.tv",
"Archer S01E03Someshow .tv",
"Archer S01e02Someshow .tv",
"Archer S01E04Someshow .tv",
"Archer S01E05someshow .tv",
"Archer s01E02Someshow .tv",
"Archer S01E09Someshow .tv",
]
var counter1=10


                    if(dataFile){
                        var output_list= [];
                        // should make this a config variable by adding to module defaults
                       // then would be this.config.counter
                       // get display limit, 10 if not specified in defaults
                       var counter=counter1 || 10
                        // setup regex, no i  no g (only once, and case sensitive)
                        var splitRegExp = /.*[S][(0-9)]+[E][(0-9)]+/;
                        // loop thru the list of filenames
                        for(filename of dataFile) {
                            // if the name is not zero length (split could have returned for just linefeed
                            if(filename.length >0 && counter >0) {
                               // get the filename prefix
                               var split = splitRegExp.exec(filename);
                               // save name to the output list, as a table entry
                               // remove space after the ->< , the forum hides everything after unless a space
                               // table has a row, 
                               output_list.push("<tr><td>")
                               // with data
                               if(split)
                                  output_list.push(split)
                               else 
                                   output_list.push('name not matched '+ filename)
                               // end of data and row
                               output_list.push("</td></tr>")
                               counter--;
                            } 
                        }  
                    }
                        // insert the table into the wrapper
            console.log( "<table>" + output_list.join('')+ "</table>");

This correct?

@sdetweil This may be a stupid question, but is there any way i can test this on my laptop, without the raspberry pi?

@sdetweil If possible could you please give me an example of how i would do it, i dont know much about js. and i looked at the MMM-Swipe but i couldnt understand much

If anyone else who understands the API could help me out i would really appreaciate it as well @sdetweil

If you could help me achieve this, or give me some info that could help me do this i would really appreciate it
