First to go to the MagicMirror folder type cd ~/MagicMirror in your terminal.
Then npm start to start the mirror.

Now you should see some log messages in the terminal. If there is an error in your config.js there should also be an error message in between the logs. This message will tell you, around which line in the config.js the error occurs.
Something like:

WARNING! Could not validate config file. Starting with default configuration. Please correct syntax errors at or above this line: /home/pi/MagicMirror/config/config.js:361

In the config you posted, you are missing for example a , after ‘MMM-Remote-Control’

module: ‘MMM-Remote-Control’
// uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
// , position: ‘bottom_left’
// you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
config: {

rules…

the thing to the left of : does NOT need to be quoted

if the next line starts with a word (config, foo, address), then THIS line needs a trailing , at the end ( comments // on a line mean the , has to be IN FRONT of the //

the thing AFTER the : if a number or true, does NOT need to be quoted
otherwise if it is a word, or contains letters, it MUST be quoted ‘fred’, ‘0912drb’ single or double doesn’t matter as long as they are the same

so, given that, you should be able to fix this module definition…

{
module: ‘MMM-Remote-Control’
// uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
// , position: ‘bottom_left’
// you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
config: {
customCommand: {}, // Optional, See “Using Custom Commands” below
customMenu: “custom_menu.json”, // Optional, See “Custom Menu Items” below
showModuleApiMenu: true, // Optional, Enable the Module Controls menu
apiKey: “”, // Optional, See API/README.md for details
}
},

I set this up on my old mirror and it worked please change the code so it will work.
or am I just pasting it in wrong?

what 's why i warn :)

I only open ports when I need to

well you would have to be on their network, so not likely exposure for most users

sam, look any firewall scan by external source hacking … 80 8080 25 etc…

Sorry, it’s not for blame for program, but it’s the reality ;)

New functionalities:

• Start/Stop/Pause a timer on the mirror
• Start /Stop/Pause a stop-watch on the mirror
• Hide and reorder the default commands of the Home-tab
• Simplified set-up of the app

Thanks for the solution.

1. download the cec-utils package to your raspberry pi (you have probably already done that).
   For Ubuntu or Debian use:

sudo apt install cec-utils

2. scan for available devices to get the device number/address of your TV

echo 'scan' | cec-client -s -d 1

3. Now you should be able to power on the TV via the Raspi command terminal (replace Device# with the number or address form step 2):

echo 'on Device#' | cec-client -s -d 1

and off

echo 'standby Device#' | cec-client -s -d 1

3. If these commands work, overwrite the commands of MMM-Remote-Control.
   To do this, open you config.js file and add the customCommand section to the module MMM-Remote-Contorl:
   

I’m wasn’t able to test the commands as my pi is currently not connected to a CEC-device. Let me know if this works for you.

my tvs don’t turn off , so I have hide/show for all modules

Can you please add also support to package cec-utils (https://packages.debian.org/buster/cec-utils)?

It also runs if I enter the hostname instead of the IP-address. This helps me a lot because I don’t use a static IP.

Btw. I took the first apk in the list and it works on my Huawei P8Lite (Android 6.0.1).

Thank you for the App

Thomas

I looked up for you how they have implemented tuning the monitor on/off there.
To turn the monitor off they use the shell command:

tvservice -o

To turn on the monitor they use:

tvservice --preferred && sudo chvt 6 && sudo chvt 7

You can test these commands in the terminal of your Raspberry pi. If it works there, this should work with the app as well.
It is also possible to overwrite these shell commands with you own ones, if you are interested in this, have a look at the custom commands section in the MMM-Remote-Control github repository

• toggle the monitor on/off

Did you add CEC compatibility with TVs too? :)

If yes I am gonna give it a try.
