Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module

@sdetweil Ok here’s where I am. I think I’ve made the proper changes in the config file.
Changed address to 0.0.0.0
Changed ipWhitelist to []
Added showQR: “true”

The QR code is showing up in the top right of the magic mirror.

I apologize if I’m being difficult. I was just getting very frustrated trying to manually configure modules, and when I stumbled across your module, I got excited! I feel like I’m overlooking something simple!:grimacing_face:

@josh45631 said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:

showQR: “true”

This should be showQR: true without the quotes. Not sure if it makes much of a difference.

The URL I used and which worked for me was:
http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-Config/config.html?port=8300

@sdetweil Very cool module.

sdetweil · Nov 28, 2021, 3:26 PM

@josh45631 I had a typo which I corrected

http://192.168.2.13:8080/modules/MM-Config/review

notice the module name is MMM-Config

3 M’s

the content says the module is running

if you use your phone on the qr does the page show?

sdetweil · Nov 28, 2021, 4:19 PM

@mumblebaj don’t use the final url… use the review url as provided in the doc
as the module discovers a free port for communication between the form and the module.

:man_facepalming:
There it is. I knew it would come down to something simple! I still can’t get to the form page by scanning the QR code, but I’m ok with that for now because I can access it via browser!

Thank you so much!

sdetweil · Nov 28, 2021, 4:17 PM

@josh45631 what are you using to scan the qr?

mumblebaj · Nov 28, 2021, 4:19 PM

@sdetweil Which URL in the doc? From the screenshots? The review URL did not work for me. The one I posted above did. The QR code gave me a different URL which did not work for me but guess it is because of my install on my Windows laptop.

mumblebaj · Nov 28, 2021, 4:21 PM

@sdetweil I found the URL bit in the doc.
http://machine_name:MM_Port/modules/MMM-Config/review
Did not work for me when I tried it though.

sdetweil · Nov 28, 2021, 4:25 PM

@mumblebaj u did change the symbolic names to actual, right?

machine_name
MM_port

right?

sdetweil · Nov 28, 2021, 4:27 PM

@mumblebaj windows should have worked

can u tell me what the url was?

when u configure mm for address:“0.0.0.0”
it’s not something I can connect to

so I get the machine hostname

I guess I need to figure out an IP address…
