MMM-Remote-Control
-
@meikelrix Did you set
showModuleApiMenulike this?{ module: "MMM-Remote-Control", position: "bottom_right", config: { showModuleApiMenu: true, ....Do you also have modules with recognizable notifications? Newsfeed is quite good for testing, for example.

If it doesnāt work, show me your config (without secrets of course).
-
@KristjanESPERANTO I did set the showModuleApiMenu: true,
I do get the āModule Controlsā menu entry, but it has no content AND other notification based modules are working.
I noticed as well that the āUpdatesā doesnāt show modules, anymore. The only one shown is āMagicMirrorā, below the message ā!No module loaded.āOk, I renamed MMM-Remote-Contol directory and re-installed following the github instructions. All is working now!
Thank you for your help and a great module! -

I have this problem that has been bugging me for a whileā¦
Check this clip: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Zahc5xqttn33frbKA < From APIMy mirror have lotās of modules many are multi instances (like MMM-MotionEye in this example).
I see the same behavior (or similar) with other modules, mainly my āMMM-homeassistant-sensorsāā¦
I often makes API-calls from Node Red in Home Assistant, like this clip: https://photos.app.goo.gl/K9ktuXGKawoyHEez5Errors from the log:

Let me know if you need anything moreā¦
Thank you for this great module! :) -
@Snille Thanks for the detailed report. I think Iāve fixed it. Please update to the new release v4.1.4 and give me some feedback š
-
@KristjanESPERANTO You are welcome, Itās me who should thank you for all the great stuff! :) Itās almost workingā¦
The error messages are gone, but it still shows and hides ābothā modules (MMM-MotionEye in my example clip)⦠:)Let me know if you want anything else? There is nothing in the ālogsā now⦠:)
-
@Snille That was tricky, but I think Iāve solved that too. Please take a look at the new release v4.1.5 š
-
@KristjanESPERANTO It is working!! Awesome! Thanks you very much! :)
-
@Snille Cool. Iām glad it works š

@KristjanESPERANTO
Update to 4.2.0 fixed the issue. Thanks for the quick response!! -
@kristjanesperanto

@bloodknot Thanks for reporting. Release v4.2.1 should fix it. Please check š

@KristjanESPERANTO
I donāt get a failure, however the alert/showalert function does not work:{"success":false,"message":"Module alert does not have any actions defined."} -
@bloodknot Thanks for the quick feedback. Okay, that was still progress. Now please try v4.2.2.

@KristjanESPERANTO
That seems to have fixed my specific problem. Thank you!!!
I have tested:

hey guysā¦
having some issues using the shutdown/reboot commandsā¦they throw this error, even though I have the API key in the config
{āsuccessā:false,āmessageā:āForbidden: API Key Not Provided!ā}
hereās the config
{ module: 'MMM-Remote-Control', // position: 'bottom_left', // Required to show URL/QR code on mirror // you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself config: { showModuleApiMenu: true, secureEndpoints: true, apiKey: "111111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555", customCommand: { monitorOnCommand: 'loginctl unlock-session 1', monitorOffCommand: 'loginctl lock-session 1', shutdownCommand: 'systemctl poweroff', rebootCommand: 'systemctl reboot', // Optional, See "Using Custom Commands" below }, } }, -
