Thank you, updated

@PierreGode Hello, I’m having the same issues as supascoopa74 and mischag. I went through all the points in the wiki page and still unable to get to the admin page. Checked my firwalls and they were “open”… unsure how to proceed.

[sdetweil]

@khayfer what is the address: setting in config.js
it CANNOT be localhost. as thst mesns only apps INSIDE the same system can connect (a browser on the same system)

[supascoopa74]

@PierreGode Thank you for the wiki. I didn’t realize the MagicMirror needs to be running for the admin page to work. Doh! It works now trying to access myPIip:5003 from another computer on my network.

@khayfer Hi!
Could you tell me about your setup?
Is it ”vanilla” raspberry pi setup?
What is pm2 logs saying?

[khayfer]

@sdetweil my apologies for the late reply, the stomach flu ravaged our home this past week.
As for the address in config it is set to “local host” and it lists the raspberry pi 's ip address.

[sdetweil]

@khayfer address:“localhost”

means ONLY apps INSIDE the same system can connect, means a browser started from the desktop

if you want to use another system, set
address:“0.0.0.0”,

[khayfer]

@sdetweil I changed it to 0.0.0.0 and it still says it could not connect to the server :-/

[sdetweil]

@khayfer can you open the MagicMirror page from that machine?

many browsers have started to implement local network access security. i know on my mac, i cannot access my 3d print server w chrome anymore. i have to use safari

[khayfer]

@sdetweil yes, I’m able to use the browser in the pi. I can navigate the internet no problem, but the moment I type the ip address, it still says could not connect to the server.
I then tried it on multiple different devices/browsers on the same wifi and they all say the same thing.

[sdetweil]

@khayfer and you are doing
http://address:port

for MagicMirror
port from config.js
on the same machine
you can use localhost

http://localhost:8080

ip addr

will give you the address of the pi
from your laptop

http://xxxxx:8080

where xxxxx was the addr from ip addr

my MMM-Chores is playing up big time now…
after the last update, not the most recent one, but the one before that, my chores list now is just a long list of everything coming up for ever…
it’s not just displaying the next days chores, but every chore. and if you tick off a chore being completed, it then just add’s that next time the chore is due to the bottom of the list. and there’s no end in sight on my magic mirror, but also no end in sight for the admin page. I’ll ‘complete’ a job, but then it just adds it to the bottom of the page…
anyone else having major issues with it? was working great before… and I worked out that the magic mirror needs to be running to get into the admin portal page. but now my mirror just looks like this…

Any help much appreciated as the kids can’t tick off when completed anymore…
Thanks

@mischag Hi!
latest update a lot settings has being moved to the webpage.

It should work with the old config.js but might be acting up.

try with the new settings. enabling show past tasks will show only past tasks that are not completed.

make sure your config.js has

{
  module: "MMM-Chores",
  position: "bottom_right",
  header: "Chores",
  config: {
    updateInterval: 60 * 1000,
    adminPort: 5003,
    openaiApiKey: "your-openApi-key here",
    settings: "unlocked", // set a 6 digit pin like "000000" to lock settings popup with a personal pin, change 000000 to any 6 digit password you want, or comment this out to lock settings completely
// other options can be set in the admin portal
    levelTitles: [
    // titles for every 10 levels
      "Junior",
      "Apprentice",
      "Journeyman",
      "Experienced",
      "Expert",
      "Veteran",
      "Master",
      "Grandmaster",
      "Legend",
      "Mythic"
    ]
  }
},

eciated as the kids can’t tick off

If you cant make the new settings work for you, you could jump back to an older version
git checkout uiimproovments and restart the module

@PierreGode – What does the ‘Chores per Week Estimate’ do?

What is it estimating, and what does it do with the estimate?

[PierreGode]

@JohnGalt
It was supposed to show total completed chores per user per week, but it was bugging. Do you have the latest version?

[JohnGalt]

@PierreGode – OK, thanks. I was just wondering what it is estimating, and what it is supposed to do with the estimates.

Hi! How does MMM-Chores determine current date for tasks? I create a task in the Admin page for today, but it only shows if I have the “Show past tasks” option checked. The “created” and “assigned” date are correct in the data.json file. The raspberry pi looks like it is in correct location and time zone.
