<![CDATA[MMM remote]]>Morning All.

total novice here however i have managed to get my MM working with quite a few modules on it.

I was looking to add MMM-Remote -Control however seems to be above my pay grade as can’t even get the config to fire after adding this. when i remove it is working fine.

When i run the config checker i get the below -
Line 134 col 17 Unexpected ‘‘’.
Line 135 col 19 Unexpected ‘‘’.
Line 138 col 21 Unexpected ‘“’.
Line 140 col 17 Unexpected ‘“’.
Line 135 col 17 Expected ‘}’ to match ‘{’ from line 133 and instead saw ‘:’.
Line 136 col 9 Expected ‘]’ to match ‘[’ from line 28 and instead saw ‘config’.
Line 136 col 15 Expected ‘}’ to match ‘{’ from line 11 and instead saw ‘:’.
Line 136 col 16 Missing semicolon.
Line 137 col 26 Expected an identifier and instead saw ‘,’.
Line 137 col 26 Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression.
Line 137 col 27 Missing semicolon.
Line 139 col 9 Label ‘customMenu’ on showModuleApiMenu statement.
Line 139 col 9 Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression.
Line 139 col 26 Missing semicolon.
Line 139 col 26 Expected ‘}’ to match ‘{’ from line 136 and instead saw ‘:’.
Line 140 col 9 Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression.
Line 140 col 15 Missing semicolon.
Line 140 col 9 Unrecoverable syntax error. (82% scanned).

The config for the module looks like this -

{
module: “MMM-Remote-Control”,
position: “bottom_left”,
config: {
customCommand: {}, // Optional, See “Using Custom Commands” below
customMenu: “custom_menu.json”, // Optional, See “Custom Menu Items” below
showModuleApiMenu: true, // Optional, Enable the Module Controls menu
apiKey: “”, // Optional, See API/README.md for details
}
},

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help in advance
Paul

Error: Cannot find module ‘logger’

looks like the hue module didn’t document that dependency

I the module folder do

npm install logger

MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

Line 134 col 17 Unexpected ‘‘

noticed the double quote is curved

this means the copy/paste treated the content as a word processing document and not an ansi text file

single quotes are impacted ted as well.

the text version of these characters are straight up and down
