This device is not allowed to access your mirror.

[Julia]

var config = {
	address: '0.0.0.0', 
	port: 8080,
	ipwhitelist: [],
        . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 
{
		    module: "MMM-Remote-Control",
		    		    config: {
                                              position: 'right',
                                             apiKey:  ' '
		       
},

This is my config file but even If I whitelist every ip address I still can’t connect
“Thisdevice is not allowed to access your mirror.
Please check your config.js or config.js.sample to change this.”

Any ideas?

Pi 3b+ and mobile hotspot btw

@Julia what device is trying to connect?

Is it using remote-control apis?

[Julia]

@sdetweil I am trying to connect my laptop. What do you mean by “Is it using remote-control apis?”?

[bhepler]

@Julia - Where are you receiving that error message? Are you getting that on your mobile device trying to use the configuration app? Or is that on the mirror itself?

I would try replacing the '0.0.0.0' value with your Pi’s IP address.

[Julia]

The error is on my phone. Replacing the ‘0.0.0.0’ value with my Pi’s ip address makes no difference. I still get the same message.

[sdetweil]

@Julia note that the strings in config are case sensitive, it should be

ipWhitelist

not

ipwhitelist

[dxfan227]

is an api key required to run properly?

[sdetweil]

@dxfan227 not for the base framework, and most of the default modules. (Weather needs one)

[dxfan227]

@sdetweil Ok

Perhapes the config is missing the part I bolded here? :

modules: [

{
module: “MMM-Remote-Control”,
config: {
position: ‘right’,
apiKey: ’ ’

},
]

[sdetweil]

@dxfan227 that shouldn’t matter.
The message the OP posted comes from server.js after checking the ipWhitelist config variable
