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

[goldyfruit]

Just to let you now that there is a new maintainer (not me) for this module, same Git repository though!
Many bugs have been fixed, many issues have been closed.

So far most of the changes are into the “developer” branch until the new release.

Hello! Ezequiel here. Just wanted to say thanks for trust in me, in the past days I made a lot of changes into the code, adding some functions that’ll surely be in a future release, and also putting everything together in my fork. I answered almost every issue raised, and tried to help every person that use this module. Today, I’m glad to be able to share everything I learned to all of you. I apologize for some fast and uncommented commits, I just thinked that some things needed to be fixed ASAP.

Hey,

I’m very new to coding and the magicmirror thing, here I’m stuck at restarting the mirror, the command pm2 restart doesn’t work, I managed to instal pm2 (I think) but it still doesn’t work “Process or namespace magicmirror not found”

It also said ealier in the module I needed an API key in my config section, where should I write it ?

Could someone help ? Thanks !

[sdetweil]

@Morganga for pm2 u can use my fixuppm2 script

See https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

@sdetweil Hey,

Thank you, managed to do it.

Now the RC website says the device isn’t allowed to acces the mirror…
Any clues ?

Ok just withelisted all IP adresses and it’s all good !

Hello,
Im trying to get a custom menu ready to send customized notifications via input fields.
Sadly im not into JS.
Can someone tell me how to get the value of an input field i added?

my custom_menu.json:

{
   "id": "custom",
   "type": "menu",
   "icon": "id-card-o",
   "text": "%%TRANSLATE:CUSTOM_MENU%%",
   "items": [{
         "id": "custom-item-1",
         "type": "item",
         "icon": "dot-circle-o",
         "text": "Next page",
         "action": "NOTIFICATION",
         "content": {
            "notification": "INCREMENT_PAGE",
            "payload": null
         }
      },
      {
         "id": "custom-item-2",
         "type": "item",
         "icon": "dot-circle-o",
         "text": "Last page",
         "action": "NOTIFICATION",
         "content": {
            "notification": "DECREMENT_PAGE",
            "payload": null
         }
      },
      {
         "id": "level2",
         "type": "menu",
         "menu": "custom",
         "icon": "bars",
         "text": "Send notifications",
         "items": [
         {
             "id": "custom-item-3",
             "type": "input",
             "icon": "dot-circle-o",
             "text": "Notification",
             "action": null,
             "content": null
         },
         {
             "id": "custom-item-4",
             "type": "input",
             "icon": "dot-circle-o",
             "text": "Payload",
             "action": null,
             "content": null
         },
         {
             "id": "custom-item-5",
             "type": "button",
             "icon": "dot-circle-o",
             "text": "Send",
             "action": "NOTIFICATION",
             "content": {
                  "notification": null,
                  "payload": null
             }
         }
         ]
      }
   ]
}

The button (last entry) should now send an notification with the values from the input fields above.
something like this:

         {
             "id": "custom-item-5",
             "type": "button",
             "icon": "dot-circle-o",
             "text": "Send",
             "action": "NOTIFICATION",
             "content": {
                  "notification": "custom-item-3".value,
                  "payload": "custom-item-4".value
             }
         }

So how can i get the value from my input items?
Thanks :)

And another question. Is there a security problem when im neither using an ApiKey nor the secureEndpoints? Im using it in my private secured wifi with only me inside.
