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

[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?

@Jopyth I think I don’t understand the difference? :D
Or you’re talking about the default sleep time that is already set at start up of the pi?
So that, no matter what you do, you set a (default) timer of i. e. 15 minutes when the hdmi switches off.

@strawberry-3-141 @Jopyth Thank you very much for your help.

My error was following one:

“https://192.168 …”

Now, I ve fixed it in “http://192.168 …”

–> It’s the small things that matter, I guess :D

Thanks a lot.
@Jopyth I love it :-) Well done!

@Jopyth Amazing work so far!
Can’t wait for the ‘finished’ product (read: next major version).

The remote-control works really great, thank you very much for this module!

[Mr.Meeseeks]

Holy smokes @Jopyth you refactored a lot, it’s taking me some time to merge my changes in

[Jopyth]

@Mr.Meeseeks Even though I did not make that properly clear, but that was my intention, behind asking you to make the pull request early, sorry about that. :/ I can help with the merging, though, let me know.

@Jopyth said in MMM-Remote-Control:

@Mr.Meeseeks Also if you think you are at a stage where we can work together, feel free to make the pull request early, and I will have a look and see if I can help.

Otherwise I will concentrate on other stuff, which you have not already implemented.
