UNSOLVED MMM-Memo not able to send messages to Magic Mirror

Fuzzy

Hello,

I have installed the module “Memo” and the memos are already shown on the screen of the display but I am not able to send messages to add lines to the memos. I tried:

bolded texthttp://192.168.1.102:8080/AddMemo?memoTitle=SHOPPING&item=Fruits&level=INFObolded text

But I get the following lines on the screen from the pc where I tried to send the message:
bolded text[1] 17426
[2] 17427
roger@Lappi:~$ bash: http://192.168.1.102:8080/AddMemo?memoTitle=SHOPPING: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden bolded text
Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden means "File or directory not found.

After that I tried it with the following command:
curl -G -v “http://192.168.1.102:8080/AddMemo?memoTitle=SHOPPING” --data-urlencode “item=Bonjour, êtes-vous allées dans votre boutique préférée ?”

Result:

Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
Trying 192.168.1.102…
connect to 192.168.1.102 port 8080 failed: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt
Failed to connect to 192.168.1.102 port 8080: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt
Closing connection 0
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 192.168.1.102 port 8080: Verbindungsaufbau abgelehnt

Now I edited the whitelist in the configfile with the IP adress from the Sending pc but the same result.

Can anybody help me to fill the memo stickers on my Magic Mirror?

Thanks a lot for help
Roger

@Fuzzy really? Nobody is going to answer? It’s been a year… I actually have the exact same issue. The directions werent too clear because I thought I followed them to the tee…

@sdetweil
Thankyou for your quick response!
I still spent days/so many hours trying to get it to work lol
I couldn’t get it no matter how hard I tried and didn’t know why.
Because of your response/ the link you commented, I was eventually able to have a memo be displayed…
What helped me notice my progress was adding

MemoDisplayIfEmpty= true

to the config.js
I am, however, still unsure of how to remove the entire memo, itself, though.

What do I enter into the browser?
Also, is there a simpler way to display the memo’s or do I have to type out

http://Pi's_IP:port/addMemo?memoTitle=__&item=__

everytime I want a memo?
Is there a way to type a memo out like an email (the subject= memoTitle and the body= item)?
Like, how MMM-Remote-Control now allows you to send an alert?
I’d really like this if it were a little more convenient.
This is such a cool module, and can’t wait to incorporate voice control (that will make adding the memo’s super easily/ is more of what I’m looking for.)
Thanks again, and I hope Im not annoying you too much with my noobness lol.

@FruityBebbles I’m not the author, just another user trying to help…

the code in node_helper.js
defines how the module responds…

and it says for add

	this.expressApp.get('/AddMemo', (req, res) => {
	var query = url.parse(req.url, true).query;
	var level = query.level;
	var memoTitle = query.memoTitle;
	var item = query.item;

http://Pi’s_IP:port/addMemo?memoTitle=&item=&level=

and for remove

	this.expressApp.get('/RemoveMemo', (req, res) => {

	var query = url.parse(req.url, true).query;
	var memoTitle = query.memoTitle;
	var item = query.item;

http://Pi’s_IP:port/RemoveMemo?memoTitle=&item=

that is the only way this module responds

so to remove, u need the exact text of the ‘item’ when u added it.
u can use curl or http request , you don’t have to use a browser… I was just offering an easy way to test it out

Thanks! I appreciate your help, regardless It’s people like you who keep me from giving up on thos stuff… I’m not a coder by any means, so thanks again…

@FruityBebbles no problem, glad I can help… you don’t need to be a coder… but some of this stuff is very rigid in its requirements…
