MMM-Button

This is an extension for the MagicMirror. It can monitor a button click and change for example the visibility of some of your modules (at the moment just works with my MMM-Podcast module). Special thanks goes to Paviro as this module is heavily based on his PIR-Sensor module.

Installation

1. Navigate into your MagicMirror's modules folder and execute git clone https://github.com/ptrbld/MMM-Button.git. A new folder will appear navigate into it.
2. Execute npm install to install the node dependencies.

Using the module

First of all connect a button to your Raspberry PI: How to connect a button.

To use this module, add it to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

modules: [
	{
		module: 'MMM-Button',
		config: {
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
		}
	}
]

Configuration options

The following properties can be configured:

Option	Description
buttonPIN	The pin your button is connected to. Possible values: int Default value: 5
clickDelay	The time in miliseconds before another button click is recognized Possible values: int Default value: 500
notificationMessage	The message broadcasted to other modules Possible values: string Default value: BUTTON_PRESSED

Developer Notes

This module broadcasts a BUTTON_PRESSED (as default; specified in the module config) notification with the payload beeing true you can use it to show/hide your module (e.g. MMM-Podcast).
