Help with MMM-ModuleSchedule to turn off monitor

mlm198

Hi All,

I want to use MMM-ModuleSchedule and MMM-Remote switch off the monitor. I know remote is working as I can connect to it using my phone but when I get an error message when I start to use the schedule which is just a cut and paste job. Not sure what I am doing wrong but below is the code for the two modules along with the error message when starting MM.

Thanks for any help.

{
        module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler',
        config: {
            notification_schedule: [
                // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN ON AT 07:30 EVERY DAY
                {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '30 6 * * *', payload: {action: "MONITORON"}},
                // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN OFF AT 22:30 EVERY DAY
                {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '30 8 * * *', payload: {action: "MONITOROFF"}},
                {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '00 16 * * *', payload: {action: "MONITORON"}},
				{notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '00 21 * * *', payload: {action: "MONITOROFF"}},
                
                // RESTART THE MAGICMIRROR PROCESS AT 2am EVERY SUNDAY
                {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '0 2 * * SUN', payload: {action: "RESTART"}}
            ]
        }
    },

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

This is the error message:

@mlm198 cd to that module folder, and do

npm install -save cron

Looks like the module package.json doesn’t list that drpendency

@sdetweil thanks for the response and forgive my lack of knowledge but which of the folders listed?

fribse

go to you ‘magicmirror’ folder, then to modules, and then to the MMM-Remote-Control folder and run ‘npm install’, I think you forgot that.
