      First update changes my main.css - took me a while to figure it out and redo all my customizations.

      You should not change main.css. All customizations should be made in custom.css: https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/customcss.html#custom-css

        @KristjanESPERANTO n also allows you to change version on the fly.

        One nvm ‘benefit’, it stores the node versions in the users home folder at .nvm

        So, on a multi-user system each user could have different node versions.

        As MagicMirror is deployed as only user, it’s functionally the same.

        One n benefit, it stores the version in the /usr/ local folder
        So it requires sudo to make the change, cannot be accidental

          This can also be seen as a disadvantage 🙂

            @KristjanESPERANTO maybe, if you never use sudo, but we use it very often

              @KristjanESPERANTO Hi, I very much like MMM-Remote-Control!

              The last update has possibly introduced an error with respect to the “Custom Menu Items” => I have a menu item which still shows, but the sub menu items don’t show anymore?

              Else wise please let me repeat: excellent job on MMM-Remote-Control!

                FWIW: I’m using the showModuleApiMenu: true setting in config.js as well and the submenus there don’t show either, any more?

                      Thank you very much, that has fixed my custom menu!

                      On the other hand I still don’t see the content of “Modules Controls” menu, although “showModuleApiMenu: true” is set in config.js?

                        @meikelrix Did you set showModuleApiMenu like this?

                            {
                              module: "MMM-Remote-Control",
                              position: "bottom_right",
                              config: {
                                showModuleApiMenu: true,
                              ....
                        

                        Do you also have modules with recognizable notifications? Newsfeed is quite good for testing, for example.

                        Ekrankopio de 2026-01-04 15.42.13.png

                        If it doesn’t work, show me your config (without secrets of course).

                          @KristjanESPERANTO I did set the showModuleApiMenu: true,
                          I do get the “Module Controls” menu entry, but it has no content AND other notification based modules are working.
                          I noticed as well that the “Updates” doesn’t show modules, anymore. The only one shown is “MagicMirror”, below the message “!No module loaded.”

                          Ok, I renamed MMM-Remote-Contol directory and re-installed following the github instructions. All is working now!
                          Thank you for your help and a great module!

                            I have this problem that has been bugging me for a while…
                            Check this clip: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Zahc5xqttn33frbKA < From API

                            My mirror have lot’s of modules many are multi instances (like MMM-MotionEye in this example).
                            I see the same behavior (or similar) with other modules, mainly my “MMM-homeassistant-sensors”…
                            I often makes API-calls from Node Red in Home Assistant, like this clip: https://photos.app.goo.gl/K9ktuXGKawoyHEez5

                            Errors from the log:

                            I also experience that when calling a specific module to show with “module_number_modulename”, it often shows the “wrong” module-instance (of that type of module, like MMM-homeassistant-sensors, but the wrong one)… I don’t know if it’s related to this.

                            Let me know if you need anything more…
                            Thank you for this great module! :)

                            If you cant find it, make it and share it!

                              @Snille Thanks for the detailed report. I think I’ve fixed it. Please update to the new release v4.1.4 and give me some feedback 🙂

                                @KristjanESPERANTO You are welcome, It’s me who should thank you for all the great stuff! :) It’s almost working…
                                The error messages are gone, but it still shows and hides “both” modules (MMM-MotionEye in my example clip)… :)

                                Let me know if you want anything else? There is nothing in the “logs” now… :)

                                  @Snille That was tricky, but I think I’ve solved that too. Please take a look at the new release v4.1.5 🙂

                                        @KristjanESPERANTO - Cannot GET /api/refresh (or any API call)
                                        MMM-Remote-Control is working fine on the same computer that the API is not found. This occurred in the last couple of updates. Nothing else changed in the configuration and/or modules.
