Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module

[IamWayne]

Oh I think that I understand now. I have to add this to the MM installer in the correct folder, correct?

[sdetweil]

@IamWayne this is an add on module, not part of the base

see the 1st link in my signature below for short topic about installing modules

[citizendevpi]

this module works very well , thanks for the hard work and time . makes this project simple and fun !!

[DarkV]

@sdetweil Still no joy, I am going to reinstall.I cannot display the QR code as I do not have any zones left and cannot load the web page

[sdetweil]

@DarkV you dont need the qr code

can you show the messages from npm start?
if using pm2 then

pm2 logs --lines=100

[DarkV]

@sdetweil How do I get logs? I am a noob regarding MM
I found this

[08.01.2025 00:49.42.199] [ERROR] Failed to retrieve repo info for MMM-Tools: Error: Command failed: cd /home/junior/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Tools && git fetch -n --dry-run
fatal: unable to access ‘https://github.com/bugsounet/MMM-Tools/’: Could not resolve host: github.com

[DarkV]

This post is deleted!

[sdetweil]

@DarkV way back further in the log, back 50 lines maybe

as using pm2 the good and error lines are separated into two lists

none of the bugsounet repos are online any more
so if you dont want to see those errors, you can exclude them from the updatenotification module scans

@DarkV mmm-config requires MagicMirror version 2.28 or higher

also, you have some syntax error around line 122 in config.js

pm2 flush to empty the logs

and see what hsppens after you fix that config.js error
