Add notification generator to remote.html

Pre-flight checks

• I searched existing issues and discussions to avoid duplicates.
• This is a feature request (not a support/troubleshooting question).

Problem / Use case

I'd like to see a notification generator set up in remote.html...

Press the item, and it would come up with two fields. "Notification (USUALLY ALL CAPS)", and "Payload" - This would supplement the URL handling of notifications, by making it easier to send in notifications from remote for testing purposes.

Proposed solution

See above.

Alternatives considered

URL generation is too arcane for temporary testing. In my specific use case, I had to first look up seldom used url commands to do it, figure out from the psudo-english what was meant, then execute it.

Too much work. A simple pre-built web interface would be better for quick testing.

Interesting request. Before adding this to remote.html, would an existing workaround like MMM-SendNotificationButton be sufficient for your testing workflow? 🙂

[BKeyport]

I'd rather be able to do it remotely, thus using your module. My mirror is inputless otherwise.

[KristjanESPERANTO]

Makes sense. I don't think it should be too difficult to implement—I'll take a look at it.

Please checkout v4.3.0 and give me some feedback 🙂

Not working for me. I'm not sure how to translate these into payload strings. is there a way to make it more user friendly?

Notification	Payload type	Description
PAGE_CHANGED	int	MMM-pages will switch to the provided page index.
PAGE_INCREMENT	int, Optional	MMM-pages will increment the page, or by n times if a number is provided. Not providing a number is equivalent to sending a payload of 1. If there are no more pages to increment by, this will loop around to the first page.
PAGE_DECREMENT	int, Optional	MMM-pages will decrement the page, or by n times if a number is provided. Not providing a number is equivalent to sending a payload of 1. If there are no more pages to decrement by, this will loop around to the last page.
QUERY_PAGE_NUMBER	None	MMM-pages will respond with PAGE_NUMBER_IS with the current page index.
PAUSE_ROTATION	None	If MMM-pages is set to rotate, this will pause rotation until a RESUME_ROTATION notification is sent. This does nothing if rotation was already paused.
RESUME_ROTATION	None	If MMM-pages was requested to pause rotation, this will resume automatic rotation. This does nothing MMM-pages was not requested to pause.
HOME_PAGE	None	Return to the home page. If no home page is provided, return to the first page instead.
SHOW_HIDDEN_PAGE	String	MMM-pages will switch to the provided hidden page name.
LEAVE_HIDDEN_PAGE	None	MMM-pages will leave the currently showing hidden page and return to the previous showing page index.

Hm... please update MMM-Pages and MMM-Remote-Control and check the module controls for MMM-Pages 🙂

[BKeyport]

I don't have module control in my system, fully updated on both.

--- Edit: I used sam's fork of it when installing, have now moved back to the main project, but same result, no module control.

Oh, I wasn't aware that showModuleApiMenu isn't set to true by default. That's not a good default setting; most features, especially practical ones like this, should be displayed by default. I've now changed that in v4.5.0. If you don't want the menu entry, you can disable it with showModuleApiMenu:false.

And if you don't use the notification entry, you can also deactivate it with showNotificationMenu:false.

So please update again and take a look 🙂

[BKeyport]

Perfect. works well, what I wanted to do with the notification menu.
