      I tried it both ways - but should the ‘password’ field in the helper file be filled in?

        @jthirasilpa no… use the config.js

        the reference to the options variable should be from line 47, not 42…

        so, something is wrong with the code u have in node_helper.js

        did u follow my steps above exactly?

          Sorry I’m not being clear. I know that I need to modify the config.js (and have done so), but in line 45 of node_helper.js (as shown below) there is:

           prompt: 'Password,' + this.config.Password     // put your password where ???? are (notice the quotes around)
          

          Should I leave this as is or fill in the password? That is where I have tried it both ways.

          Code you asked for from node_helper.js:

              scanNetworkMAC: function() {
           38         this.log(this.name + " is performing arp-scan");
           39
           40         var self = this;
           41         // Target hosts/network supplied in config or entire localnet
           42         var arpHosts = this.config.network || '-l';
           43                                 var options = {
           44                                                 cachePassword: true,
           45                                                 prompt: 'Password,' + this.config.Password     // put your password where ???? are (notice the quotes around)
           46                                 }
           47         var arp = sudo(['arp-scan', '-q', arpHosts], options);

            @jthirasilpa oh, i see I should have removed the comment… you do not need to change any code…

            but the error does not match the code u are running now…

            please do

            pm2 stop 0
            pm2 flush
            pm2 start 0
            pm2 logs
            

            that error must have been from yesterday

              Hmm

              So with the password entered only in the config file, the error output still references line 42

               var arpHosts = this.config.network || '-l';
              

              Error output:

                @jthirasilpa said in MMM-NetworkScanner-loading...indefinitely:

                0|mm | [19:37:36.956] [ERROR] TypeError: Cannot read property ‘network’ of undefined
                0|mm | at Class.scanNetworkMAC (/home/jojo/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NetworkScanner/node_helper.js:42:36)

                Ok, but not ‘options’…

                now, to check, this system is case sensitive… so in config.js it MUST look like this, right?

                            keepAlive: 300,
                            updateInterval: 5,
                	    Password: 'pi'                        // added password (note capital P)
                        }
                

                using your password of course

                  That is how the config looks.

                  Still getting the node_helper line 42 error. Will park this for now. Thank you for spending so much time on this Sam - much appreciated. Will come back to this later in the week.

                    @jthirasilpa update the current code

                    cd ~MagicMirror/modules/MMM-NetworkScanner
                    git pull
                    

                    then you can shutdown and restart the MM app

                    there was a tiny timing gap where the config info is not yet set, when the helper is asked to scan the network…

                    let me know

                      Is it bad to have this?

                      pi@raspberrypi ~ % sudo -l|grep NOPASS
                          (ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
                      pi@raspberrypi ~ %
                      

                      Edit: To expand further, I have MMM-NetworkScanner running. I do not need to supply a password when I run sudo and I don’t have a password stored in a config file.

                        Hi Sam - thanks I tried the update. Still getting the same error - from the log:
