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

@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

[sdetweil]

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

same if i insert UTC+1 into the timezone

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:

in germany we have summertime and wintertime… so we have utc and utc +1

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

[josh45631]

@sdetweil I did have showQR set to true in the module config, but the QR code wasn’s showing up.

After changing the address in the mm config from localhost to 0.0.0.0 the QR code is now appearing on the magic mirror.

Now when I try to access the form from my pc I get “This device is not allowed to access your mirror.
Please check your config.js or config.js.sample to change this.”
and the terminal on the pi says “Access denied to IP address: 192.168.2.5”

I tried to add it to the ipWhitelist, but I don’t think I have the proper format because it’s not working?

Module entry is:

modules: [
               {
                       module:"MMM-Config",
                       position:"top_right",  // the QR code (if requested) will appear here
                       config:{

               }
               },
               {
                       module: "alert",
               },
               {
                       module: "updatenotification",
                       position: "top_bar"
               },
               {
                       module: "clock",
                       position: "top_left"
               },
               {
                       module: "calendar",
                       header: "US Holidays",
                       position: "top_left",
                       config: {
                               calendars: [
                                       {
                                               symbol: "calendar-check",
                                               url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics"
                                       }
                               ]
                       }

etc

This is how I tried to whitelist my computers ip

    ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1","192.168.2.5"],    // Set [] to allow all IP addresses

I appreciate your help very much!
