[Remote-Control] Shutdown, Configure and Update your MagicMirror

Jopyth

@lolobyte It should work with any browser. Did you replace the 192.168.xxx.xxx with the IP of your raspberry pi? If you set a position for the module, you should also be able to see the URL on your mirror, for example the following should show the URL to the remote inf the bottom left:

{
    module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
    position: 'bottom_left'
},

OK, now it works. Was a browser problem with Maxthon. Thank u, but the modules MagicMirror-Netatmo-Module and MMM-Fuel are not shown in the Browser!
At the monitor the are visible.

pls see the screenshot!

@lolobyte This is not related to the Remote Control, is it? Please make a a post in the troubleshooting section possibly with the configurations of your netatmo and Fuel modules, maybe something is wrong in your config.js.

MagicMirrorPi

That is a very nice module - thanks!
I have one question. In which way you control this module or your mirror? Do you have a keyboard or mouse on it? I didn’t find a way to control this module on the magic mirror.

@MagicMirrorPi
Are you talking about MMM-Remote-Control?
It is called remote because you use it to remote manage the mirror. So you can use it on your laptop, smartphone, tablet, … without having to attach mouse/keyboard to the mirror itself

MagicMirrorPi

Thanks. That answered my question. I was wondering, how to control the mirror without hardware :)
Another nice implementation is the Skywriter i think with gestures.

Hello, i made the MM2 update and now i can’t access the remote.

ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"],

I can’t insert my ip from my laptop.
I want to access MagicMirror from laptop with Remote Control, but it’s not possible now with this update.

Where i have to insert my ip address in the white-list?
How to insert a range?

I am having the same problem. Does @Jopyth just need to update or is there a bigger issue?

Hi all,

it works.

That is my part of config with the ipwhitelist.

    ipWhitelist: [
                    "127.0.0.1",
                    "::ffff:127.0.0.1",
                    "::1",
                    "::ffff:192.168.1.1/24",
            ],

hope it will help all other user.

AAPS

I know I probably sound dumb, but what is ipWhitelist, and will mine look different than yours?
Thanks anyway.

@AAPS

if you update to the new magic mirror, this will be a new option in the config.js.

Take a look to the config.js.sample file witch is delivered with the new version of magicmirror.

AAPS

Cool! Do I just keep it the way it is, but format it differently, or do I have to add anything?

lolobyte

@AAPS

if your ip is from germany and you use ip4, than u can take it like it is.

It has just another format and added “::ffff:192.168.1.1/24”,

AAPS

I tried that and it didn’t work. Is it because I am in America?

lolobyte

@AAPS

the you must change this…

“::ffff:xxx.xxx.1.1/24”,

Substitude the xxx with your American numbers.

AAPS

It still doesn’t allow me to remote control it from my computer. Does it have to end in 1.1/24, or should I put ::ffff:(MY IP ADRESS)/24?

AAPS

Nothing seems to work for me. I will just set it back to what it was.

lolobyte

@AAPS

do not change the end.
In my case i change only this because it is standard in my region and given from my internet provider.
192.168.

In your internet region you have other access address from your provider and you must change my example with numbers of your region.

AAPS

My ip address starts with 192.168 too, but now that I try to change everything back, it doesn’t work.

AAPS

Everything is fine. I will figure things out later. Thank you! @lolobyte
