Fullscreen and refresh button

---

I am trying to create a refresh and fullscreen button but got stuck.
First i created a button device and 2 rules. These 2 are working perfect but the output is not what i hoped for. chromium webbrowser does not refresh

device:
      "buttons": [
        {
          "id": "reboot",
          "text": "System Reboot"
        },
        {
          "id": "Pimatic Restart",
          "text": "Restart Pimatic"
        },
        {
          "id": "Refresh",
          "text": "Refresh"
        },
        {
          "id": "Fullscreen",
          "text": "Fullscreen"
        }
      ],
      "id": "systembutton",
      "name": "systembutton",
      "class": "ButtonsDevice"
    }

rule:
    {
      "id": "refresh-browser",
      "name": "refresh browser",
      "rule": "when Refresh is pressed then execute \"/usr/bin/F5.sh\"",
      "active": true,
      "logging": true
    }

and wrote F5.sh in /usr/bin:

#!/bin/sh

echo key F5

and F11.sh:

#!/bin/sh

echo key F11

What am i doing wrong or am i missing something?

additional info:
raspbian jessie pixel
pimatic v0.9.37
matchbox-keybord
xdotool removed

the script is executed on your pi or on your linux system.
as long as you are not working on the same system with your browser this won’t work.

Thanks for your reply leader21.
It is all on one system. Rpi 2 and Elo 15 inch touchdisplay.

ah ok! try to execue the command with sudo

{
  "id": "refresh-browser",
  "name": "refresh browser",
  "rule": "when Refresh is pressed then execute \"sudo /usr/bin/F5.sh\"",
  "active": true,
  "logging": true
},
{
  "id": "fullscreen",
  "name": "Fullscreen",
  "rule": "when F11 is pressed then execute \"sudo /usr/bin/F11.sh\"",
  "active": true,
  "logging": true
},

not working also

when executing on the console it is working ?

No when i push the button on the screen, rule executes but nothing happens.

@funip I don’t think this will work this way as the F11 and F5 keys are sent to a tty, however, you want them to be sent to the browser window.

That’s right, its only ment for the browser. And for me any good working browser ik ok, as long as the webpage can be refreshed and fullscreen modus can be switched from normal to fullscreen.

This is a very usefull function, had the same wish with an interface on a Pi with touch-disp as a pimatic client.
Could it be integrated in pimatic itself (core) or any plugin near to it?

I fixed my own problem for now. The problem is/was that my raspberry needed to be disconnected from the power, a reboot was not good enough.
I installed xdotool and created this scripts:

F5.sh

#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=":0"
export XAUTHORITY=/home/pi/.Xauthority
xdotool getactivewindow
xdotool key F5

F11.sh

#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=":0"
export XAUTHORITY=/home/pi/.Xauthority
xdotool getactivewindow
xdotool key F11

sudo chmod +x F5.sh
sudo chmod +x F11.sh
its working but a bit slow sometimes.

Better working solutions are very welkom, or an intergrated solution or plugin.

Thanks everybody, for tips I got.
