MagicMirror MichMich module to leverage Flic button actions to broadcast notifications
Module currently handles, the classic flic event: single click, doubel click and hold. Each of those events can trigger a specific notification with a specific payload defined in its configuration file. To use this module, installation of the flic Linux HCI server is required. Basic use case: click on flic and the layout of the MMM automatically change.
- clone the MMM-flic module in the MMM - modules directory & run
npm install - find instruction from: https://github.com/50ButtonsEach/fliclib-linux-hci/ and clone the project
- install & start daemon using: https://github.com/50ButtonsEach/fliclib-linux-hci/tree/master/bin/armv6l (for Raspberry pi): follow the instructions carefully - no other bluetooth as is can be used. Typically:
./flicd -f flic.sqlite3 makeand start the simpleclient to setup your flics: https://github.com/50ButtonsEach/fliclib-linux-hci/tree/master/simpleclient (this probably could be done directly with the websocket client/server though, but the interaction is simplified), Typically:./simpleclient localhost- not the list adresses of all the flic buttons you will want in the configuration (example: 80:e4:da:76:a5:09)
- stop simpleClient,
make& start the websocket server: https://github.com/50ButtonsEach/fliclib-linux-hci/tree/master/clientlib/websocket/server, typically:./websocketproxy localhost 5551 127.0.0.1 5553(by default module is expecting the websocket interface on the localhost on port 5553) - copy fliclib.js from https://github.com/50ButtonsEach/fliclib-linux-hci/tree/master/clientlib/websocket/client to the MMM-flic module directory (quick & dirty)
- add the MMM-flic module to the MMM config:
{
module: "MMM-flic",
config: {
flics : [
{
bdAddr: '80:e4:da:76:a5:09',
events: {
ButtonSingleClick: {
notification: 'CURRENT_PROFILE',
payload: 'damien',
},
ButtonDoubleClick: {
notification: 'CURRENT_PROFILE',
payload: 'asako',
},
ButtonHold: {
notification: 'CURRENT_PROFILE',
payload: 'default',
},
},
}
],
},
classes: 'everyone default'
},
- if you want to use MMM-flic to change profile, if not already done, install MMM-ProfileSwitcher to leverage the profile change notification.
. Investigating leveraging a hub running on the network instead of having to start a server and register the flic button on it . Share a script to start what is needed (server, websocket server in particular) . setup a rotating profile (one click browing through a list the different), instead of acting a specific type of click to a specific profile
