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

@sdetweil Hi Sam i tried it again and the size of the analog clock wont change, same if i insert UTC+1 into the timezone… else looks pretty good…

thanks a lot ;)

[sdetweil]

@dinschal can u show me the generated config.js for clock? (just that module)

it changes the value in config.js when I change it in the form…

and send me the debug output again

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil oh no not the debug output again :D
give me just one second ;)

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil there is no debug: true in the config anymore :( can i insert it myself?

i tried it, but it stopped here

@dinschal said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:

i debugged the clock module

UTC works

UTC +1 doesn’t
UTC -1 doesn’t

so I am not sure what it wants

Etc/UTC+1 doesn’t

[sdetweil]

@dinschal

make sure there is a comma on the line before where u added debug:true to my module

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil in germany we have summertime and wintertime… so we have utc and utc +1 :D

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil i did it this way…

@dinschal said in Are you tired of editing config.js, or have trouble doing it, see my new module:

yes, understand… the clock module should auto adjust…

we just changed to std time last sunday and the clock adjusted… actually , the system changed reported time

but I was saying I debugged using the timeZone option in config.js for clock, and cannot get any option other than ‘UTC’
to work…

I don’t understand what string it expects

it has a time object and does

time_object.tz(config.timeZone)

to force the time to a particular timezone… except only UTC works for me.

[sdetweil]

@dinschal yes, looks good
what does the debug output say?

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil the output stopped @calendar-fetcher: Broadcasting 10 events

[sdetweil]

@dinschal yes,… then u have to press save on the form…

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil i send it

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil hey sam there is a update for your module?

[sdetweil]

@dinschal yes… see my email…

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil a thanks… yes everything is working now…

[sdetweil]

@dinschal thanks for your help!!..

[Dinschal]

@sdetweil thanks for your patience ;)

next step is to try the NewPIR with the PIRSensor ;) and then create a 10 min presentation for students 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Is there any way you could break down the setup even more for dummies like myself? I can’t seem to access the configuration form in browser. Do I have to use a browser on the raspberry pi? Can it be a computer on my local network? When I try to access http://192.168.2.13:8300/modules/MMM-Config/review from my PC all I get is “Cannot GET /modules/MMM-Config/review”
Same with
http://localhost:8300/modules/MMM-Config/review
from the pi itself
What am I doing wrong?

[sdetweil]

@josh45631 for access from a system other than the machine running mm, the mm config.js has to allow it

address:"0.0.0.0",
ipWhitelist:[],

by default the config is set to address:“localhost”
which means ONLY apps inside the same machine can connect

do you have showQR:true, in the module config section?
if so does the qr show on the mm screen?
can u show me the module entry from config.js

also when u start mm, the module puts out a couple messages at startup

so look at the messages where u start mm
either by npm start or pm2
if pm2, then the command
pm2 logs --lines=50

also the url to the form is

http://mm_address:mm_port/modules/MMM-Config/review

mm_port is 8080 by default not 8300
