      @rhbauman I don’t use this module, but if Karsten posts, then you listen. the
      node_fetch library was removed in this release.

        And if I post, please read it and think about what you are about to post before adding noise to the discussion. I am not seeing any error messages about missing modules and I am not getting a black screen.

        Perhaps you could load Remote-Control and let me know if you can duplicate my problem?

          and came up on my phone

          my module config

          {
              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: "12345", // Optional, See API/README.md for details
                  // classes: {} // Optional, See "Custom Classes" below
              }
          },
          

          my top line mm config

          let config = {
          	address: "0.0.0.0",	// Address to listen on, can be:
          							// - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
          							// - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
          							// - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
          							// Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost"
          	port: 8090,
          	basePath: "/",			// The URL path where MagicMirror² is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy
          					  		// you must set the sub path here. basePath must end with a /
          	ipWhitelist: [],	// Set [] to allow all IP addresses

            Thanks! I’ll try using an apikey. That’s a difference between your configuration and mine.

              @rhbauman it was the same before apiKey was uncommented…

              I was just trying to use a function that required a key… as well as the others.

                Yeah, secureEndpoints made no difference for me. What’s your MM host, a Raspberry Pi? If so, are you running bullseye? And you’re running MM V2.25, right?

                  @rhbauman i installed on a pi3, pi4 and my linux desktop, all on node 18 or 20 all with the same module config (cut and paste)

                  buster and bullseye, all MM 2.25

                  and all worked.

                    Excellent. Then I’ve got some problem in my Pi environment. Thanks for the info and taking the time to try to duplicate the issue.

                        OK. This masked the root problem: pm2 logs mm --lines 100 doesn’t show the same information as npm run start. From pm2 logs:

                        Once I discovered that node-fetch wasn’t found it was easy enough to follow your instructions to do an npm install node-fetch, although if I ran it in the MMM-Remote-Control directory I got

                        pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control $ npm install node-fetch
                        
                        up to date, audited 88 packages in 4s
                        

                        But from the MM directory:

                        pi@magicmirror:~/MagicMirror $ npm install node-fetch
                        
                        added 6 packages in 17s
                        

                        And which 6 packages got installed? Who knows. At any rate, Remote-Control API’s are now working again for me. Looking at the MM changelog again I see in the Updates section “Replace node-fetch with internal fetch (#2649) and remove digest-fetch.” To me that seems to be a transparent change that should break anything.

                        And a question for you, Sam. When you installed MMM-Remote-Control in V2.25, did you have to run npm install node-fetch? If not, why not?
