[Remote-Control] Shutdown, Configure and Update your MagicMirror

AAPS

Is it worth updating? I have been excited for this update, but I have waited to see if it would be better than the previous version. Since it appears that some people experience bugs, I might just stay with the version I have. Is this a smart choice?

@in_a_days Funny I also got that bug on the previous remote version, after updating to MM v2.1 . If I´m rebooting the MM or Power Off and starting it later, all changes of visible Modules are gone. So basically i tested some modules and later hide them cause i don´t want to delete them from the config, or just show them when i need some of them. It´s not a big deal, just saying.

@AAPS (and everyone else): You can try the new version, but you can also go back to a previous version afterwards with the commands:

cd MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control # or wherever you installed the Mirror and the module
git checkout v1.0.0 # or the version you want

Currently, there is v1.0.0 (which is probably the one you are on) and v1.1.0 as older versions. To check out the most recent version use git checkout master again.

I’m experiencing a white screen issue after updating MMM-Remote to the latest version. Anyone knows how to solve this ? I’ve disabled the module for now.

@Brice Check this thread.

Notifications does not obey the length parameter. I have installed this module and it looks fantastic! I have tried both the alert and notification features. The alert works and only shows for the length of time specified, but a notification displays (at the top) for only about 3 to 4 seconds and then disappears, no matter what the seconds parameter is set to.

Jopyth

@ChrisLaurie That is because a notification has a fixed length of time. There is no way to change the time of a notification to be displayed longer or shorter (see documentation). Maybe I should make this more clear, that the duration option only works for an alert?

@in_a_days Could you check if my changes on the develop branch solve the problem?

Yes, the Save feature is now working for me. Thank you very much! :)

I still get an error when I use Power > Restart MagicMirror

The software does restart correctly. Seems like a false error.
