Help with MMM-Remote control

nakulbende

Hello - I am trying to install MMM-remote control to have some control over my raspberry pi. My config file looks like:

{
			module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
			//position: 'top_bar',
			config: {
				        apiKey: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
			}
		},

And my header for the config file looks like:

address: "localhost", 
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.114"],

I do not get a control page when I go to 192.168.1.15:8080/remote.html (which is my IP for Pi) from my computer (which has .1.14 IP). Is there something I am missing? I have tried this with or without the api key, which I know is optional for basic functionality.

@nakulbende said in Help with MMM-Remote control:

address: “localhost”,
port: 8080,
ipWhitelist: [“127.0.0.1”, “::ffff:127.0.0.1”, “::1”, “::ffff:192.168.1.114”],

this setup means ONLY apps INSIDE the pi can connect to the MagicMirror app

so, change it to

address: "0.0.0.0", 
	port: 8080,
	ipWhitelist: [],

that allows ANY system to connect

As always, Sam - thanks so much! I did those changes, and it broke MMM-pi-hole which is stuck on loading. It also crashes magicmirror every 5 minutes or so. This happens even if I just change the address and allowed ip whitelist, comment out remote control and pistats. Any ideas?

@nakulbende have no idea… all that does is say

listen on all interfaces (ethernet, wireless, maybe pi-hole creates one?, in which case you would need to specifiy the address of the prefered interface, ethernet for example, or wifi… but JUST ONE)

ipWhitelist:[] means allow anyone to connect on the interface and port

BKeyport

I’d make Sam’s changes, but change the port number - something else could be grabbing the port for some reason.

I use 60001.

port: 8080,
ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:xxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"],

replace the xxxx with your ip address …thats it

you don’t need api key…

@nakulbende

 xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:8080/remote.html

ip must be the same like in ip whitelist,
it must be the ip of you device you want (tablet or phone ore pc) for controlling your magic mirror
