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

[ceerix]

Hello everyone,

actually i’m building my first Magic Mirror and i have installed the Remote Control Modul which works very well and i also have implemented the changes from Bangee. Everything works fine.

Now i want to use this modul for interacting with my home automation systen “homematic”. Therefore i need to call the URLs directly.
Can anybody help me which i URL i have to call? I already have tried
http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8080/remote.html?action=RESTART
but it doesnt work :-(

Thanks in advance for your help :)

@ceerix can you try this:

http://192.168.XXX.XXX:8080/remote?action=RESTART

@Jopyth the pull request is online. :-)

@ceerix How are you going to interact? With custom notifications between the modules? Or are you connecting this differently?

I am asking because I was thinking, if it is possible to give other modules a simple way of hooking up to my module, and how this could happen. So a first example, on how you would like to do it, might be a good starting point.

@Bangee thank you for your help this works! :)

@Jopyth i simply call the URL for the action which i want. For example shutdown the Raspberry when i’m leaving the house.
A example is the link which Bangee have written:
http://192.168.XXX.XXX:8080/remote?action=RESTART

If you need any further information i will help you :)

The module has received a medium update, see the new version on Github.

Changes:

• Added: Save as default, which saves the hidden/shown status of your modules (Note: If you change your config, the settings will most likely not load correctly, you might have to change and save them again.)
• Added: Restart MagicMirror application and switching display on and off, thanks to @Bangee
• Changed: status indicator appears on top right, instead of the bottom
• Updated: fixed-width icons, text should be more aligned now
• Updated: error sign will show (error will appear in server log), if a command fails, e.g. no sudo rights
• Fixed: style error, which most likely made the remote control look completely different from the preview for anyone except me

New update is sick. Really like the turn display on/off feature.

Another module that should be in the core :) Man this mirror is growing Thanks to great people!

Thanks @Jopyth

I had an idea in the morning. Would it be possible to develop a new menu in this modul for changing the place of a displayed modul? For example moving it from the top to the middle of the screen with a button?
Do you understand what i mean? :)
