<![CDATA[HUGE FLAW IN MY PLAN]]>At first, I thought I had everything figured out. I soon realized that I need a way to turn it my mirror on and off cleanly. I have found the remote control module, but I don’t completely understand it. Could anyone help me? The only thing I can think of is connecting the main cable with a switch to turn it on and using the remote control to turn it on once I figure things out. Also, how could I set up a PIR sensor?

When I click on it, there is just a black screen. How can I fix this? Is it just because I did it from Microsoft Edge?

I figured out why the black screen happened. I installed the module in the wrong directory. Now everything is fine.

Every time I try to add remote control to my config.js file, when I reboot it shows a black screen. Why is this? Also, I can’t figure out how to change the time zone.

Please check your config.js or config.js.sample to change this”

What does this mean? What can I do to fix it?

Add the following to the module section of your config.js:

{
    module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
    position: 'bottom_left'
},

If you only copied the example config, paste these lines, for example, between lines 17 and 18.

Hopefully this shows you your IP address right on your mirror in the bottom right corner.

If not you can execute the command ifconfig on your raspberry and look at the output, make sure to take the IP of the correct adapter (i.e. WLAN if you are using WLAN).

Once you installed it, and add it to your config.js, restart your mirror and go to the remote control page. It is hosted on your pi, so you need to know the IP, e.g. if your IP is 192.168.0.111 you need to go to 192.168.0.111:8080/remote.html. There you should be able to switch off/on your display.
