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

Jopyth

@ottobot This is why I initially made my module display the URL on the mirror (if the module is visible). No need for an app here. The functionality itself could be refined, since it apparently does not work 100% of the time.

@Jopyth Yeah, I figure I’ll walk them through everything over the phone once they get them. I’ll just have them make a bookmark of the page. I guess if their IP changes they’ll call me telling me the page stopped working.

This is my first download and what a module! Fantastic work so much easier to control the power to the mirror.

A “must have” module, without a doubt. :thumbsup_tone1:

@Mykle1 recommend any other module?

Sure, since you’re asking. These three I could not do without

MMM-Simple-Logo - Bottom left and bottom right
MMM-Globe - Bottom middle, in between the two SimpleLogo pictures
MMM-WunderGround - Top right and top middle, under the clock

@Jopyth hi, sorry to hijack this answer but I was hoping for some advice please? When I installed the MMM-remote I left the configure URL to be displayed on the screen. Unfortunately though I can’t remove it now? Even when I deselect it from the configuration website it will not go away?

Any ideas?

@janner6
did you remove or comment the position attribute?

{
    module: 'MMM-Remote-Control'
    // uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
    // , position: 'bottom_left'
    // you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
},

@yawns I totally forgot about this, thanks for the reminder. Exactly what I wanted.

@Jopyth I have lost the “Back” button on my remote see pic…
Update: Just realized I have actually lost all the “icons”… :)
I’m on the “development” branch (both on the mirror and on your module).

I have recently reinstalled my mirror (today actually) but before that it worked…
Have I missed something?

@Snille the icons got removed on the dev branch you have to run npm install in the magicmirror directory

Snille

@strawberry-3.141 Hmm… Can’t get it to work… Even deleted the “node_modules” before doing npm install in the mm dir, then also went in to the “vendor” dir and did the same… Still no pictures in the remote… However, I do get the “fontawesome” icons on other modules (my own included) so the pictures are there. :)

@Snille https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control/blob/master/remote.html#L10 uses the old path

Snille

@strawberry-3.141 Oh! :) That’s why… Thank you.

Hey @Jopyth,

really like your module. By now, it works really cool with the standard definition. Now I try to hide single modules and I’m not so deep into configuring it.

Would you mind, to post a minimal example of your config file with the calendar show / hide example you have posted with gifs at the top?

That would be just perfect so I can see, how it’s working.

Thanks a lot
Patrick

@Jopyth
strawberry helped me a lot! to install your modul and it works fine, just starting to play around with it. to install moduls in the future without taking care about missing kommas or [ or { or making mistakes by copying scripts, is a imendous help for people like me, who is absolut new to this javascriptpythonworld.
So thanks a lot and cheers
by now everything is running fine

After updating MM from Remote-Control, when I rebooted I got a black screen. I realized that npm install was necessary, so everything works now. Only I thought that updating from Remote-Control would allow me to completely update without having to touch my mouse and keyboard. Is it supposed to?
