@mvrlogins yes, someone will have to update the module or downgrade the dependency in package.json

To make it clear here as well: “require() of ES Module ... not supported” shows that you are using a very old (unsupported) Node version. Like I said in the GitHub issue, you have to update Node.

I recommend using NVM to update Node (like recommended on the Node website).

Experiencing the same issue… Created a clean install of MM over the weekend and am getting the same error. NVM is updated. :-(

@kasperb in config.js

address:”0.0.0.0”,
ipWhitelist:[],

[kasperb]

@sdetweil Yup, that’s what I have - sample of config here:

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: 8080,
	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
									// or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
									// ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
									// or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
									// ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],

In case you’re still interested…

After fighting with this for I don’t know how long, for poops and giggles I changed the permissions on my modules/MMM-Remote-Control folder to full r/w for all users…

Now I can access the remote control.

YMMV, change permissions at your own risk, etc.

[sdetweil]

@Ypsimm interesting. Git clone should set the permissions that way.

Did you install the module some other way than git?

[Ypsimm]

@sdetweil Originally? Quite possibly something other than git, but it’s been such a long time since I first installed that I couldn’t tell you for sure.

Most recently, yes, git clone was one of the methods I tried after completely removing the module and attempting reinstalls. Not sure if the module install doesn’t do it like the full application clone would or what, but it’s been running just dandy since the manual change. I’m curious to see if anything changes after the next update or three.

[sdetweil]

@Ypsimm ok, please make sure NOT to use sudo with any MagicMirror commands
