HUGE FLAW IN MY PLAN

AAPS

Thanks! How do I add it to the config.js file and how do I find my pi’s IP address?

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).

Thanks! This helps a lot.

I installed the module, but when I go to the website it says : “This device is not allowed to access your mirror.
Please check your config.js or config.js.sample to change this”

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

i also get this error message…

I finally figured out what to do. @lolobyte explained it to me here: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/735/mmm-remote-control/112

Something weird happened. 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.

@AAPS hi, if your are using Raspberry pi, you can change the Timezone using raspi-config from terminal

AAPS

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

Everything’s fine except for the bottom section called Magic Mirror 2. 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?
