      At first, I would like to thank again for developing this module MMM-Remote-Control.
      I’ve cloned it into my \MagicMirror\modules folder via manual command from Github and since this failed via automatic installer script as well:

      bash -c "$(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control/master/installer.sh)"
      

      Once I add the module to my config/config.js file with

      			{
      			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: {
      				apiKey: "my_ultra_secret_API_key"
      			}
      		},
      

      or the command given on Github page

      {
          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
              showModuleApiMenu: true, // Optional, Enable the Module Controls menu
              secureEndpoints: true, // Optional, See API/README.md
              // uncomment any of the lines below if you're gonna use it
              // customMenu: "custom_menu.json", // Optional, See "Custom Menu Items" below
              // apiKey: "", // Optional, See API/README.md for details
              // classes: {} // Optional, See "Custom Classes" below
          }
      },
      

      the MagicMirror² does not start after performing pm2 restart mm.sh
      Once I uncomment the module in config.js it’s working fine again.
      Does anybody could provide a hint, so that I’d be able to shutdown the MagicMirror² remotely?
      I also get connection to the mirror from any device in my home network via http://ipaddressofpi:8080/ when uncommenting the module, adding this information in hope it would help to solve this issue.

        I removed the MMM-Remote-Control folder with newest Release version and downloaded and installed an older Release version (1.1.5) and this one is working on my old mirror which is totally fine for me :)
        I’m happy now, so thank you for your efforts and support on this topic. :flexed_biceps_light_skin_tone:

          @ruffneck2 could you look at the messages recorded by pm2

          pm2 logs --lines=???

          ??? is a number, default 15, u may have to make that bigger, 100 maybe.

          or look at the log files in the ~/.pm2/logs folder

          note the dot in front of pm2, by convention, this is considered hidden from file lists, without additional parms

            Thanks for your reply.
            I’ve performed pm2 logs --lines=100

              @ruffneck2 you are running MagicMirror 2.5?

              current is 2.18, and released every 3 months, so 4 years old.

              what node/nom version are you using?
              do

              node -v
              npm -v

                @sdetweil said in [MMM-Remote-Control] Can not access remote control module:

                npm -v

                Node Version is v9.11.2
                NPM Version is 5.6.0

                Yes, unfortunately I’m using MagicMirror 2.5.0, because my mirror is already finished and mounted to the wall.
                In the past I had a lot of trouble after trying to update to a higher version. I had to disassemble the entire system, re-install it to get it working again. To avoid running into same issue once again, I decided to be fine with running system, but now I have found this helpful module and would like to use it to shutdown the system more securely.
                However, does it has to do with incompatible version of the module and old files of node and npm? Should I use an older version of the module instead?

                  @ruffneck2 this is certainly because of the system level …

                  I do not know if you can make it work…

                  IF you decide to upgrade, make a backup of the MM folder
                  and try my upgrade script

                  see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts

                  its a 2 part process…

                  1 is test, identify any issues, make no changes
                  you fix any issue u want to fix

                  if you choose to upgrade then
                  2 rerun with ‘apply’ parameter to DO the upgrade (make changes)
