Smartphone App for configuring MagicMirror

[Jopyth]

I had some plans into that direction, too, but as I experienced for myself something like this is a long term project indeed.

In my imagination, the remote control module could some day be used to download new modules (often a simple git pull plus npm install) create/change the config.js file, to add these new modules, with the parameters being editable in the UI.

If you want, I invite you (and everyone else who wants) to go on this journey, and see where we end up. ;)

I’m currently looking for topics for my bachelor thesis and had a hybrid mobile app in my mind. If someone has good ideas for a bachelor thesis which is coupled to magic mirror, let me know via pm. If I’m doing something else i will create an app afterwards in spring.

@Jopyth Yeah, that is pretty much the direction I thought about, too. :)

@strawberry-3-141 Okay. Nice! Please let us know, how you decide. And maybe we can help you in some points?

Or if @strawberry-3-141 does something different, we can start coding and he’ll join us in spring :)

There already is a RemoteControl module ( https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/735/mmm-remote-control ) which is accessible by any browser. As such the remote control is platform independant.

Yes but this is for IOS 10 which for those of us who have iphones would be super awesome :) The ONLY module we can’t use is the phone notification… because Apple is impossible … :(

I just sent my professor an arrangement for my bachelor thesis with the mobile app for magicmirror as my topic. let’s see what his response will be :)
