Monitor not responding to MMM-Remote-Control or MMM-AlexaControl

greaser01

Hello,

I’ve had issues with the monitor not turning off using modules like MMM-Remote-Control and MMM-AlexaControl.

I can’t explain the root of the problem, because both modules worked fine until one day they didn’t. It’s an odd situation because I am able to open the Remote-Control website and access everything, update modules, etc. but specifically when I try to turn off the monitor power it doesn’t do anything. Similarly with the AlexaControl, I can forget the mirror and add it again within the Alexa App no issue, but the app shows the mirror as off and there is no control that way either.

I’m far from a coding expert as this is the only thing I’ve ever done, but any help as to why these modules aren’t working would help. As far as I know, the module configs are correct and everything is up to date. I moved the Pi off the mirror to a different one to test and the monitor power is the only thing that doesn’t work. Could the issue be with the main config? Anything helps.

If it could be as simple as to uninstalling and reinstalling those modules, would someone be able to link a guide that way? I haven’t installed or uninstalled anything in over a year and I most definitely would mess it up.

Thanks!

sorry for the late reply.

for lsb_release -a:
No LSB modules are available
Release 11

for uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 6.1.21-v7+ #1642

Not sure if the other info given was relevant. Got a codename with the lsb and a date with the uname
