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

@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.

notice the module name is MMM-Config
3 M’s

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

@josh45631 what are you using to scan the qr?

mumblebaj

@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

@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

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

machine_name
MM_port

right?

sdetweil

@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…

mumblebaj

@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?

sdetweil

@mumblebaj yes but localhost will only work w browser inside same machine as mm

sdetweil

@mumblebaj typically dhcp addresses now register the hostname in the router DNS server.
