@sdetweil
I posted the startup section of the log file. You can see there are no error messages about missing modules. It seems you’re trying to suggest solutions to all the problems similar to this one that have been covered before. I appreciate that but I did research this problem before posting here.

Have you updated your MM to V2.25 and tried to access the Remote-Control API? Does it work for you?

sdetweil

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

@sdetweil
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.
