@sdetweil i am using your remote control module yes very handy, however having issues utilising the MMM-Module-Scheduler to to turn my monitor on and off via Remote-Control. i can see in the developer window its trying to send the notification however my monitor isn’t turning off. Am i missing something?

 {
        module: 'MMM-ModuleScheduler',
        config: {
            notification_schedule: [
                // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN ON AT 07:30 EVERY DAY
                {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '30 7 * * *', payload: {action: "MONITORON"}},
                // TURN THE MONITOR/SCREEN OFF AT 22:30 EVERY DAY
                {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '01 14 * * *', payload: {action: "MONITOROFF"}},
                // RESTART THE MAGICMIRROR PROCESS AT 2am EVERY SUNDAY
                {notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule: '0 2 * * SUN', payload: {action: "RESTART"}}
            ]
        }
    },

@MDWEBB issue on remotecontrol
is not MY remote control, I just fixed the error trap that was misleading
no other code change

https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control/issues/303

which one of the 10 or 12 ways does it try to turn monitor off??

which OS is different
which window compositor is different x11/wayland/labwc is different

I know MMM-PIR has been working hard on making it woirk thru all the choices

did it work before and doesn’t now??

I don’t know the module internals…

@MDWEBB I just resynced my fork with his latest remote-control

he had most of my changes and seemed to catch that error… maybe

I just updated the code again, this time to provide opening the readme for the repo in both install and config

its on a different branch again

git pull
git checkout better_repo_url
npm install     # <--- required.. added another library and copies a template file

everything else is the same, except there is a button to open the module readme

an example from the installer page, exactly the same on the config page

still have some trouble with our own docs site, gitlab

Screenshot at 2025-01-22 22-03-28.png

the readme window will open at the button position
