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

PaulB

This is an awesome module. Thanks for creating :)

I tried to download it via “sudo apt-get install https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control”
but nevertheless I get the following notice:

E: Unable to locate package https
E: Couldn’t find any package by regex ‘https://github.com/Jopyth’

I hope you have a tip, how I can solve this :)

Kind regards,
Paul

@strawberry-3.141 as always… thanks a lot :)

If you still have the nerves to answer just one more question :) I would like to how to use the html web script.
I ve searched the IP-Adress but nether the local IP nor the IP4 would work.

Do you have a betting guess which I should use?

Thanks a lot!

@PaulB by default you should be able to access the remote by

http://raspberrypi:8080/remote.html

or run ifconfig to research your ip

then access it via

http://ip:8080/remote.html

@PaulB In addtition to what @strawberry-3.141 wrote, you can also set a position in the config, and it should display the URL on the mirror, for example like this:

{
    module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
    header: 'Remote Control',
    position: 'bottom_right'
},

@Jopyth
This is a hardcore module from what I see here. Nice one!

Say, would “turn on monitor for x minutes” be a possible feature?
Like a sleep timer on the TV.

I come from an energy saving point of view and “turning on” is great but you know how we are. We always forget to turn things off.

Cheers

@done Thank you.

Yes this is certainly possible. Would it make sense to also make an option, which automatically switches off the screen at the start up then? So the “default” would be, that the screen is off, but you can switch it on for x Minutes?

@Jopyth I think I don’t understand the difference? :D
Or you’re talking about the default sleep time that is already set at start up of the pi?
So that, no matter what you do, you set a (default) timer of i. e. 15 minutes when the hdmi switches off.

@strawberry-3-141 @Jopyth Thank you very much for your help.

My error was following one:

“https://192.168 …”

Now, I ve fixed it in “http://192.168 …”

–> It’s the small things that matter, I guess :D

Thanks a lot.
@Jopyth I love it :-) Well done!
