Turning screen back on, on event

bugsounet

what do you add ?

Devnixx

I tried “EXT-ScreenTouch”, “EXT-UpdateNotification” and “EXT-Alert”, but none of them turns on the screen when a module is displayed.

bugsounet

EXT-ScreenTouch: will allow to turn on the screen with a touch screen
EXT-UpdateNotification will allow to autoupdate module or plugins
EXT-Alert: will allow to inform you for an event with a popup

Natively you can’t wakeup the screen with a module

Devnixx

So unless using “EXT-Pir”, “EXT-ScreenTouch” or “EXT-ScreenManager”, you cannot turn on the screen again, after turning it off, using EXT-Screen?

bugsounet

you can send this notification: EXT_SCREEN-WAKEUP from another modules to turn on the screen

Devnixx

Could I ask for your kindness to explain to me how I would proceed to do that? Do I need to install something to send notifications or modify an existing module?

bugsounet

you have to choose the module who have to send a notification
you must understand the code of the module
insert this notification: this.sendNotification("EXT_SCREEN-WAKEUP") in good place of the main code

After maybe… developer of this module with send a notification on event (see ReadMe file of the module)
in all case, it’s complex when you don’t understand javascript code

Thanks a lot - that actually worked! I was not aware of this. Would this also work with the notifications at the bottom of the page?

bugsounet

it’s a confirmation Sended by EXT-Screen for inform other modules/plugins

Actually it’s used by Gateway plugins (for MMM-GoogleAssistant) and others plugins if needed

In your case, it’s not used

Devnixx

alright, thanks a lot! Problem solved ^^
