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

@sdetweil thanks for your patience ;)
next step is to try the NewPIR with the PIRSensor ;) and then create a 10 min presentation for students 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Is there any way you could break down the setup even more for dummies like myself? I can’t seem to access the configuration form in browser. Do I have to use a browser on the raspberry pi? Can it be a computer on my local network? When I try to access http://192.168.2.13:8300/modules/MMM-Config/review from my PC all I get is “Cannot GET /modules/MMM-Config/review”
Same with
http://localhost:8300/modules/MMM-Config/review
from the pi itself
What am I doing wrong? -
@josh45631 for access from a system other than the machine running mm, the mm config.js has to allow it
address:"0.0.0.0", ipWhitelist:[],by default the config is set to address:“localhost”
which means ONLY apps inside the same machine can connectdo you have showQR:true, in the module config section?
if so does the qr show on the mm screen?
can u show me the module entry from config.jsalso when u start mm, the module puts out a couple messages at startup
so look at the messages where u start mm
either by npm start or pm2
if pm2, then the command
pm2 logs --lines=50also the url to the form is
http://mm_address:mm_port/modules/MMM-Config/review
mm_port is 8080 by default not 8300
-
@sdetweil I did have showQR set to true in the module config, but the QR code wasn’s showing up.
After changing the address in the mm config from localhost to 0.0.0.0 the QR code is now appearing on the magic mirror.
Now when I try to access the form from my pc I get “This device is not allowed to access your mirror.
Please check your config.js or config.js.sample to change this.”
and the terminal on the pi says “Access denied to IP address: 192.168.2.5”I tried to add it to the ipWhitelist, but I don’t think I have the proper format because it’s not working?
Module entry is:
modules: [ { module:"MMM-Config", position:"top_right", // the QR code (if requested) will appear here config:{ } }, { module: "alert", }, { module: "updatenotification", position: "top_bar" }, { module: "clock", position: "top_left" }, { module: "calendar", header: "US Holidays", position: "top_left", config: { calendars: [ { symbol: "calendar-check", url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics" } ] }etc
This is how I tried to whitelist my computers ip
ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1","192.168.2.5"], // Set [] to allow all IP addressesI appreciate your help very much!

@josh45631 said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:
ipWhitelist: [“127.0.0.1”, “::ffff:127.0.0.1”, “::1”,“192.168.2.5”],
this means ONLY apps on THIS machine (127.0.0.1 = localhost) are allowed to connect, EVEN if address: is NOT localhost
1st thing to do is disable whitelist , set to [] (means no ip filtering)
fix it after u get things workingalso u really want to add
showQR:true
in the MMM-Config
config section{ module:"MMM-Config", position:"top_right", // the QR code (if requested) will appear here config:{ showQR:true } }, -
@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 []

When I try to navigate to

all I get is “Cannot GET /modules/MM-Config/review”If it helps, this is the terminal output at startup:

@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: truewithout 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.
-
@josh45631 I had a typo which I corrected
http://192.168.2.13:8080/modules/MM-Config/reviewnotice 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?
-
@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. -
@sdetweil said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:
notice the module name is MMM-Config
3 M’s: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!
-
@josh45631 what are you using to scan the qr?
-
@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.
Check out my modules at: https://github.com/mumblebaj?tab=repositories
Check my blog-post: https://mumblebaj.xyz/
Check my MM Container: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/mumblebaj/magicmirror/general -
@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. -
-
@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 toso I get the machine hostname
I guess I need to figure out an IP address…
-
@sdetweil The QR code gave me machine name. But I figured that could not be correct. When I used the review URL earlier it did not work, When I started my Ubuntu Instance now and tried review with this URL:
http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-Config/review
it worked fine and resolved to the following:
http://localhost:8080/modules/MMM-Config/config.html?port=8300
which I guess is what you were referring to? -
@mumblebaj yes but localhost will only work w browser inside same machine as mm
-
@mumblebaj typically dhcp addresses now register the hostname in the router DNS server.
-
@sdetweil I am using my cell phone connected to my wifi network. When I scan the code it sends me to
http://raspberrypi:8080/modules/MMM-Config/reviewWhen I replace “raspberrypi” with the actual ip of the pi, it works.
-
@josh45631 yes
I ‘assumed’ that name will work… doesn’t…will fix, thx
