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

[cowboysdude]

Yeah but if you make the changes to the config.js it takes all the fun out learning for people who really want to… I’m not programmer and this would be WAY above my head but I do enjoy tinkering with things… I realize that in the end a total package would push the mirror into more people’s lap though… progress and this would be just a natural progression of things.

You guys that do this stuff are truly amazing and those of us who can’t Thank you!

It’s the MAGIC MIRRORS TO THE MASSES MOVEMENT!! M⁴!

Work in progress:

Config is not yet saved and adding a new module is not yet supported, but the rest is mostly ready.

@Jopyth

This is an awesome module. Thanks for creating :)

I tried to download it via “sudo apt-get install https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control”
but nevertheless I get the following notice:

E: Unable to locate package https
E: Couldn’t find any package by regex ‘https://github.com/Jopyth’

I hope you have a tip, how I can solve this :)

Kind regards,
Paul

@PaulB as the install instruction says git clone https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control.git

@strawberry-3.141 as always… thanks a lot :)

If you still have the nerves to answer just one more question :) I would like to how to use the html web script.
I ve searched the IP-Adress but nether the local IP nor the IP4 would work.

Do you have a betting guess which I should use?

Thanks a lot!

[strawberry 3.141]

@PaulB by default you should be able to access the remote by

http://raspberrypi:8080/remote.html

or run ifconfig to research your ip

then access it via

http://ip:8080/remote.html

@PaulB In addtition to what @strawberry-3.141 wrote, you can also set a position in the config, and it should display the URL on the mirror, for example like this:

{
    module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
    header: 'Remote Control',
    position: 'bottom_right'
},

@Jopyth
This is a hardcore module from what I see here. Nice one!

Say, would “turn on monitor for x minutes” be a possible feature?
Like a sleep timer on the TV.

I come from an energy saving point of view and “turning on” is great but you know how we are. We always forget to turn things off.

Cheers

@done Thank you.

Yes this is certainly possible. Would it make sense to also make an option, which automatically switches off the screen at the start up then? So the “default” would be, that the screen is off, but you can switch it on for x Minutes?
