      @MarcLandis its because MagicMirror-remote-control is doing a require() on the module js

        Mr @sdetweil
        I tested my button press using:

        import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
        import time

        GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
        GPIO.setup(6, GPIO.IN, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_UP)

        while True:
        input_state = GPIO.input(6)
        if input_state == False:
        print(‘Button Pressed’)
        time.sleep(0.2)

        That worked fine. I found the module MMM-ModuleToggleButton which seemed a bit simpler and directly what wanted to do. The demo script used GPIO 6 so used default. Do i need to use a pull_down resister? Thank Thank you again! VR Anthony

        PS: Sam I looked for a link to buy you a cup of coffee, not found, but if you have one, please forward?

                Dear Mr @sdetweil
                I think you are teaching me to fish…Did you see the error message below? Beyond the below, I booted the RPI 3B+, ran the “pinctrl set 6 op dl” command. Started MM and as previously the expected modules were hidden on start up. Pressing pushbutton did not have any affect on the display. I ran the button.py script and the button was sensed as previous. As your time permits I could use another push. Your efforts are VERY appreciated. VR Anthony Baker

                    Dear Mr @sdetweil
                    Please see above, it seems “on-off” is throwing errors. It seems it is used by Remote-Control-Modules as well as Buttons. I wnet back and tried buttons. The error is below: Thank you very much. Anthony

                      i posted a link to suggestions on how to resolve it without code changes

                      the Log not found is caused by the remotecontrol module
