Wake Option? #18

Open bryan411001 opened 6 years ago

Platform (Hardware/OS): Raspberry Pi - Rasbian

Node version: I'm not sure.

MagicMirror version: Latest

Module version: Not yet added.

Description of the issue: I'm trying to integrate Snowboy to wake/sleep the display. However, I also want to integrate your alarm module into my mirror. The only conflict is that the screen would be asleep while the alarm is going off. I have my audio defaulted to my HDMI. Is it possible to have a feature where the LCD screen can wake up when the alarm goes off? If there is already a feature like this, can you please link it?

I'm new to this. I'm sorry.

Thank you, Bryan

Hi Bryan,

the functionality you described doesn't exist. A work around could be to use some speakers. I don't have the time to add more functionality to all my projects, there is barely enough time to maintain them.

An enhacement to this would be, to send a notification to other modules, before firing the alarm. Then your module, that uses the wake sleep functionality, could listen to that event and turn on the screen.
