How to send PAUSE/RESUME notification ?

[maxencekyz]

Hello @edward-shen @Burnallover ,

Your module is just AWESOME ! You guys are so nice to develop it, thank you so much !
Everything works fine, i can increment/decrement pages. However, impossible to have a PAUSE / RESUME notifications.

Here is my module Remote-Control menu, when i click on your module "page-indicator" :

The menu is just showing what's inside the MMM-page-indicator.js
Which is:

So after this :

if (notification === 'PAGE_INCREMENT') {
Log.log(${this.name} recieved a notification to increment pages!);
this.curPage = mod(this.curPage + 1, this.config.pages);
this.updateDom();
} else if (notification === 'PAGE_DECREMENT') {
Log.log(${this.name} recieved a notification to decrement pages!);
this.curPage = mod(this.curPage - 1, this.config.pages);
this.updateDom();
}

What should I write ?

} else if (notification === 'PAUSE_ROTATION') {
????????????????????????????

} else if (notification === 'RESUME_ROTATION') {
????????????????????????????

Thanks per advance guys !
Have a wonderful day

If you're using MMM-pages, then that has the notification hooks you're looking for.

Please note that this is just a indicator module, and is not supposed to have any other functionality.

Hello @edward-shen,

Thanks for your reply. I agree with you, it's just an indicator module.
However, I don't find the notification hooks i'm looking for in MMM-pages.js

I only see this in MMM-pages.js :

case 'PAUSE_ROTATION':
this.setRotation(false);
break;
case 'RESUME_ROTATION':
this.setRotation(true);
break;

But it do not work. When i copy/paste it in MMM-page-indicator.js , it crash the magic mirror.

You made this module, do you have any idea of what should I write to send pause/resume notification?

Thanks ! :)))

You shouldn't need to copy or paste anything. Both already work together to pause rotation and show that rotation is paused, repsectively.

Why i don't see it in page indicator then ?

[edward-shen]

Because you should be sending paused and resume notifications to MMM-pages instead.

I found the solution you were 50% wrong. haha
Actually, yes i need to send pause/resume notifications to MMM-pages,
BUT you can just write the notifications in MMM-pages indicator directly.

So I wrote in MMM-page-indicator.js this code below and it shows perfectly everything in the Remote-control menu:

if (notification === 'RESUME_ROTATION') {
Log.log('${this.name} resuming rotation due to notification');
this.curPage = this.rotationPaused = false;
this.updateDom();
} else if (notification === 'PAUSE_ROTATION') {
Log.log('${this.name} pausing rotation due to notification');
this.curPage = clearInterval(this.timer);
this.curPage = clearInterval(this.delayTimer);
this.curPage = this.rotationPaused = true;
this.updateDom();
} else if (notification === 'PAGE_INCREMENT') {
Log.log(${this.name} recieved a notification to increment pages!);
this.curPage = mod(this.curPage + 1, this.config.pages);
this.updateDom();
} else if (notification === 'PAGE_DECREMENT') {
Log.log(${this.name} recieved a notification to decrement pages!);
this.curPage = mod(this.curPage - 1, this.config.pages);
this.updateDom();
}
},
});

The only problem now is that :
I currently have a timer changing from page 1 to page 2 every 10 seconds.
If I click on PAUSE ROTATION, it says "it's already on pause"
So everytime i wanna pause, i need to send "RESUME_ROTATION" first and then click on "PAUSE_ROTATION"
This is probably because when the time is on, PAUSE_ROTATION is on aswell in the background.
