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

Jopyth

@slickric That is weird, my iPad is also running chrome 54.0.2840.66. I assume this also happens, when you access the remote URL from a desktop browser? Could you open the remote URL with developer console, and have a look at possible errors?

@Pbaan93 I can add this, yes. Do you think a simple JSON format would suffice?

Pbaan93

Yes that would be really nice!!! Just a list of modules with their status, preferably also their identyfier if that is possible. Thanks to this I can make the homey app completely adaptive to wat modules are installed on the mirror.

@Jopyth #facepalm as expected it was me that was the problem. Got the below errors in console which made me realise immediately that for some rediculous reason I changed the name of the folder from “MMM-Remote-Control” to just “remote”. Obviously it couldn’t find the CSS and js files because I changed the folder :/ renamed and all working perfectly. Great work with the module and massive thanks for the help! alt text

@Jopyth That is really fast! Nice! Cool improvements ;)

@Jopyth Nice update, tested it and it works like a charm.

You have shown me more ideas :P …
Is it possible to set position? Than we will almost have full controll!

@Jopyth Don’t worry, no more questions. ;-) I like only to say thank you :-)

@Jopyth Thank you for the great update.
I see you have implemented some of my suggestions, which makes me very happy.

I still hope to see this evolve into a config GUI some day…

Jopyth

@rvdgeer This is the next big thing on my ToDo list. I don’t know when I will finish this though. If anyone has ideas on the workflow and the UI and how they would like to see and change the config in the UI, feel free to post here.

@Jopyth Sounds great!

If you want the all-in-one package:
I could imagine you need to be able crawl and index all installed modules and openup their modulename.js files to be able to determine what configurable parameters it has.
That way it should be possible to vreate buttons in the remote to add an installed module from a list and add and edit the parameters.

This might need a change in the core structure, because it would be nice to know what parameters per module are availble and what the possible values are…
(Like what’s posted on most of the modules github pages.)

And how about an option to drag and drop the order of the modules.

Another (slimmed down) way to go would be to just look at the current config and make al parameters editable in a form. Maybe create an option to add a new parameter and it’s value. The users should know the name and possible values for the parameter.

In the future you could even dream about an option to ‘git pull’ a module to update it from the gui. Or to ‘npm install’ the depencies. And maybe even download and install new modules that are availble online…
But that’s just me dreaming…
