Hi,

i normally added cards to my module descriptions in the showcase are.
Currently the cards are not being included. Is this feature broken?
I tried it with Firefox and Chromium, both with the same result.

Description:

I use an HifiBerry DAC+ on my mirror to play Spotify and Radio.
The aim of this module is to provide a simple mechanism to play online radios on the mirror and switch between different stations.
Because my wife and i like different stations i added profile support as well.
The module can be controlled either by notifications or touch.
It uses the Raspian “mplayer” to play “m3u” playlist files my favorite webpage of online radios (http://www.surfmusik.de/) provides. But you can use any m3u file you like.

Version 0.1.3

• the vlcWrapper.bash and vlcPaWrapper.bash scripts now stop vlc with a kill followed by a kill -9 after one second delay. The processes did not stop with the current versions of vlc otherwise.

Version 0.1.2

• the streamlink wrapper supports additional custom arguments like the vlc wrappers now

Version 0.1.1

• the vlcWrapper.bash and vlcPaWrapper.bash now support a variable count of custom options that can be added after the stream url. The options will be added directly to the vlc command line i.e. to disable certificate verification.

Version 0.1.0

• it is possible to display the current stream information if vlc is used now. Use the provided vlcWrapper.bash script to start vlc with the options needed.
• modified the vlcPaWrapper.bash script to use the additional options needed to start vlc with enabled stream information support.
• updated the options and URLs in the readme

Version 0.0.14

• added a new wrapper called vlcPaWrapper.bash which uses vlc to play a stream but sets the audio of vlc with pa_volume to a configurable value before

Version 0.0.13

• The module now waits for the old process to stop before it starts the new one during station changes which is essential for the xmms2 and HiFiBerryOS wrapper.
• During a station change the module does not signal a stop of the old station and the start of the new station but only the station change to the frontend now. This is to reduce flickering.
• The wrapper of HiFiBerryOS is now more robust if the station gets changed or if the playback gets stopped at the HiFiBerryOS interface

Version 0.0.12

• fixed wrong state (playing/stopped) if customCommand is used and the wrapper/program stops

Version 0.0.11

• All CSS classes are prefixed with the module name now
• A new wrapper script is included to control a remote HiFiBerryOS instance via ssh

Version 0.0.10

• added a new wrapper script (streamlinkWrapper.bash) which can be used to play streams that do not send continuously

Version 0.0.9

This now Version 0.0.9 provides:

• fixed the stations not being stopped if the module gets stopped (i.e. if the mirror gets stopped)

Version 0.0.8

This new Version 0.0.8 provides:

• Fixed a bug which caused the module to ignore the initStation parameter at the first RADIO_PLAY notification

Version 0.0.7

This new Version 0.0.7 provides:

• Fixed a bug which caused the module to be not loaded if only one station is used

Version 0.0.6

This new Version 0.0.6 provides:

• the stations now get displayed correctly if scroll is disabled and there are less stations than needed (count of stations before the current station, the current station and the count of stations to display after)

Version 0.0.5

This new Version 0.0.5 provides:

• The module got a total redesign. Instead of old styling with a table a new flexbox layout is used which makes it possible to do a lot more customization via css.
• There is a new option which can be used to display more than one station before and after the currently active one.
• There is a new option to enable scrolling (if active all stations will be displayed in a scrollable container).
• If scrolling is active a new option can be enabled to focus the currently active station even if it has been changed by notification.
• The streamInfo line can be hidden with a config option new.
• The initial state feature (yellow radio instead of stations) has been removed.

As there are a lot of problems with mplayer at the moment i strongly suggest to use the customCommand feature to play the stations with vlc. See the readme for details!

Version 0.0.4

• The flickering has been reduced massively.

Version 0.0.3

• it is possible to configure a custom script to play the stations. This way it is possible to use in example xmms2 instead of mplayer
• added an autoplay feature. Simply add the index of the station you want to start automatically after the module started to the new config option “autoplay”. The index starts with 0.
• reduced the flickering caused by station and profile changes

Version 0.0.2

• added buttons to increase/decrease the volume (send notification to MMM-Volume)

Version 0.0.1

The initial release provides the following features

• Using multiple stations and add an logo for each one
• The stations can be switched by notification or touch
• Stations either can have no profile (valid for all profiles) or an profile string

I did a lot of work on the module the last days. I integrated a more complex (and more detailed) example with an APDS-9960 and different Laser sensors, support sending payload based containing strings of the messages and it is possible to send different notifications based on the same input message in different profiles (MMM-ProfileSwitcher)

I did some work on the module the last days.
An example how to use an PIR sensor is integrated now. Also a new delay option is included and the possibility to send different notifications for the same pin based on profiles

I did a lot of work to the module the last days. Now modules can be hidden / shown instead of turning off/on the display. Also a countdown can be displayed and the delay can be set by active profile (MMM-ProfileSwitcher)

This is an Add-On module to MMM-ProfileSwitcher and is based on MMM-pages and MMM-page-indicator.

I wanted to be able to specify pages on my mirror but also be able to have different profiles on each page (i.e. i wanted an calendar page where either the events of my wife or my ones are displayed).

MMM-ProfileControl differs between horizontal profiles (pages) and vertical ones. If you do not specify different vertical profiles the vertical indicator can be hidden and the modules behavior is nearly the same as of MMM-pages.

The current profile can be changed with different notifications either to a specific horizontal or vertical one or you can iterate through them.

If you do not like the default icons of the indicators you can change them via configuration.

The module also keeps track of profile changes that happen through other modules (CHANGED_PROFILE notification).

Attention: At the moment there are problems with MMM-CalenderExt2. I am already in contact with eouia and i think i found an solution. In my personal setup i use an patched version that works fine.

Because i only send notifications to MMM-ProfileSwitcher modules that did not work without my module will not work with it.

Version 0.0.3

• it is now possible to restore the last selected vertical profile if the horizontal profile (page) changed

Version 0.0.2

• added an option to send an USER_PRESENCE notification if the module triggers an profile change
• added option to hide the profile indicators during screensave mode
• removed reset of top margin of the module in css because it is not possible to override it if needed
• fixed all issues reported by the new automatic module scanning script developed by @KristjanESPERANTO

Version 0.1.0

• Horizontal and vertical profile support
• Indicator of the horizontal and vertical profile
• All icons (horizontal, vertical, separator) can be changed in the configuration
• Notifications to change either to a direct profile or rotate horizontal and vertical

Hi,
great that you are interested in my module. I did not test ist for a while and currently have no working installation of MM.
Hopefully the answer of Sam helps you.
I will try to get my mirror running this week and will test the module.

Hi,

I asked me the same quastion a view weeks ago but could not find a library for the sensor that is still maintained. I ended up in buying a arduino board and send the signals via USB serial interface to the pi now.

@ejay-ibm you are a genius and saved me a lot of time.
I had the same idea but no time to implement it.
Thank you very mich

@AdnanAhmed97
Hi, i do not have any experience with keypads. A short research showed me, that the pads work with a polling mechanism. You need to check in a endless loop if two signals on different pins happend. In my opinion this is a bad job for the Pi. A better solution would be to do recognition work on a arduino board and only send the result (key x pressed) via serial interface to the Pi.

Hi, i do not now the script youbare using but i wrote two modules which do exactly what you like https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification and https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-GPIO-Notifications

Hi,

i wanted to suggest to use the https://github.com/Trekky12/MMM-ModuleToggle module in combination with in example my https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-Serial-Notifications module.
The problem is that the MMM-RadioDe does not work. There are open issues as from 2017.
I tried to do a quick fix but can’t get it run at the moment.

@ejay-ibm I will take a look as fast as i can. It is deffinitly a problem with the code i added

Edit: Added a pull request which should fix the issue

@sdetweil You are absolutly right. But it is a totally different aproach. Hiding the modules to get the background as dark as possible does not save the same energy as turning off the screen. I am one of the lucky guys that uses a Benq monitor which shuts off in a second after turning off the signal and is back in less than three when turning it on again.
I think your module is the perfect solution for people who are not that lucky

@Stef Hi, yesterday i added two Modules to the Showcase Area. On that monitors GPIO Pins and one which controls the Monitor.
My usecase is exactly like yours. I use an PIR sensor to detect user presence and want the screen to be turned off after a configurable timeout.
If you want to try them:
MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification
and
MMM-GPIO-Notifications

Hi,
i had the same problem the last weeks.
It looks like pm2 creates the startup script for systemd with wrong parameters.
You should check if there exists a file “/etc/systemd/systemd/pm2-pi.service”
In my case the file existed but contained the following lines:

USER=root which should be USER=pi
Environment=PM2_HOME=/root/.pm2 which should be Environment=PM2_HOME=/home/pi/.pm2
PIDFile=/root/.pm2/pm2.pid which should be PIDFile=/home/pi/.pm2/pm2.pid

If the file does not exist you can create it with:
sudo pm2 startup systemd -u pi

But you need to check the values again after creating it.
In the end you can enable the script with:
sudo systemd enable pm2-pi.service

The parts in described by @Chris are needed as well

@Sean All things i needed are merged now; i archived my repostory and added a hint to yours to the readme

Description:

This module is inspired by https://github.com/mboskamp/MMM-PIR and https://github.com/mboskamp/MMM-PIR but is controlled by notifications;
Based on “USER_PRESENCE”, “SCREEN_ON”, “SCREEN_OFF” and “SCREEN_TOGGLE” notifications the screen is controlled; By default “vcgencmd” command is used to turn the screen on or off and also to check the current status but it can be changed in the config file;
After the configured delay (which can be changed during rutime with an “SCREEN_POWERSAVE” notification) the screen will be turned off if no “USER_PRESENCE” notification had been send;
If needed custom scripts can be run after switching the screen on or off;

0.0.9

• the DOM objects now only will be updated if a position is set in the configuration
• fixed all issues reported by the new automatic module scanning script developed by @KristjanESPERANTO

0.0.8

• using spawnSync and spawn instead of execSync and exec now. the old commands caused “Error: write EFAULT” exceptions in installations with current nodejs and electron versions

0.0.7

• added scripts and description of how to use xrandr or tvservice as an alternative to the default vcgencmd command to control the screen. xrandr is the only solution working with current “vc4-kms-v3d” driver used in Raspberry Bullseye operating system.
• fixed reset of screen timeout in “hideInsteadShutoff” mode.
• the screen will be turned on if USER_PRESENCE notification is received, now. No need to send “USER_PRESENCE” and “SCREEN_ON” notifications, now.
• the forced option in the payload of the notifications can be set either as string or as boolean value (String was need for notifications send by MMM-RemoteControl)
• the html DOM objects now only will be updated if the module has a position set, now.

0.0.6

• fixed “hideInsteadShutoff” feature
• added a new option to change to a specific profile before the “normal” action is triggered

0.0.5

• it now is possible to change to configured profile instead of shutting off the screen

0.0.4

• a new config option “hideInsteadShutoff” only hides/shows the modules instead of shutting off /on the display; the additional scripts can be used as if shutting down / on

0.0.3

• It is now possible to display an countdown if an module position is configured

0.0.2

• It is now possible to define different delays for different profiles (MMM-ProfileSwitcher)

0.0.1

• Supports “USER_PRESENCE”, “SCREEN_ON”, “SCREEN_OFF”, “SCREEN_TOGGLE” and “SCREEN_POWERSAVE” notifications
• Scripts can be run after turning the screen on or off (i.e. to (de)activate a microphone)
• Forced down/up is supported (i.e. to ignore an PIR event)

Description:

This module monitores multiple configurable GPIO pins for state changes; if one of the pins changes to the configured state the notifcations which are specified will be send.
I wrote this module to send “USER_PRESENCE” notifications based on PIR Sensors.

MMM-GPIO-Notifications
[card:Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-GPIO-Notifications]

Example:

I recently added an example on how to connect a HC-SR501 PIR sensor to GPIO4 and send a SCREEN_ON notification to the MMM-Screen-Powersave-Notification module.

Version 0.2.9

• fixed a bug to support string only pin names (thanks to @n00b42)

Version 0.2.8

• changed from console.log to logger in node_helper (thanks to @gonzonia)

Version 0.2.7

• Introducing the new option forceInfoFileUsage. If this option is set to true the build in device information will be skipped the usage of the gpioinfo.json is forced.

Version 0.2.6

• fixed a issue which caused the converter script to not be called correctly by the preinstall script in some container setups
• fixed bloated output introduced with version 0.2.5

Version 0.2.5

** rolled back**

Version 0.2.4

• fixed another issue in the stop function which de-registers all pins during shutdown

Version 0.2.3

• fixed a bug which caused the stop function of node_helper.js to throw an error

Version 0.2.2

• As the new version of the opengpio library contains the GPIO information of most of the Raspberry devices now, the module tries to use the information of the library in a first mannwe. Only if no information is available for the used model the information generated during installation in gpioinfo.json is used.
• added exception handling. Now console messages are printed instead of killing the whole application if a pin is already used or no information about the chip and lane to use are available.
• the module releases all registered pins during shutdown now.

Version 0.2.1

• Now not only GPIOs which are named “GPIOX” (where X is the number of the GPIO) in the output of gpioinfo can be used but also named GPIOs.
• added more output to log to show if a GPIO could be registered or not.

Version 0.2.0

• changed the “under the hood” library from onoff to opengpio to make it possible to use GPIO with kernels >= 6.6
• totally rewrite of the GPIO handling
• totally rewrite of the installation process
  • the required library gets installed with apt
  • the required toolset gets installed with apt
  • a python script automatically creates a configuration file with your GPIO info inside. The file will be used by the module to determine which GPIO chipset and GPIO line needs to be used for a specific GPIO number
• removed the test scripts in the example folder and added some new one to either monitor GPIO ports or test a rotary encoder

BREAKING CHANGES

• dropped “gpio_debounce” option as the new library does not support debounce (at the moment). Please use delays as an alternative.

Version 0.1.0

• it is possible to use rotary encoders with this module now
• added a hint about how to use the module in a container setup to the readme

Version 0.0.9

• it is possible to set different delays for high and low state now
• the default value of gpio_debounce is now set to 0
• the old syntax using gpio_state and notifications options is deprecated now. Use notifications_low and notifications_high instead.
• add examples and a own section about the difference between gpio_debounce and the options delay, delay_low and delay_high to the README

Version 0.0.8

• It is possible to send notifications for both states of a watched pin now

Version 0.0.7

• Changed the way the necessary re-compile is handled during the installation (electron-rebuild problem). Removed the magicmirror-rebuild dependency and changed back to offical @electron/rebuild. Instead of installing electron-rebuild in the module directory it will be installed to the main MagicMirror project now and will be called from there.

Version 0.0.6

• changed the way electron-rebuild is called in the post-installation step to avoid problems if the electron version of the mirror changes

Version 0.0.3

• it is now possible to send different notifications based on profiles

Version 0.0.2

• introduced an delay option which can be used to suppress notifications if they happen to quick after another (PIR-Sensor without option to configure a hold time)

Version 0.0.1

• A first version of the module which montiores different GPIO pins and sends notifications based on the events
