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?

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.
