Mobile app (bachelor thesis)

Looks to me like the config.js rebuild is happening when the user runs npm install, regardless of where I place the MMM-Mobile module.

ohh, reallly.

But is it necessary to run npm install again?

Has anyone reached a mail from apple?

That is exactly what I am struggling with. I’ve only managed to generate a QR code on screen twice, both times after running the npm install. So basically right now I can only get a QR code after scrambling my config.js file. But it’s totally possible I’m doing something wrong too.

There is a preinstall script (which gets executed right before npm install) which reorders the modules by region, but the display module order keeps the same, to enable easy reordering in the app.

Formatting of the config will reoccur in the next version.

The only possible way to reshow the qr-code is by deleting the mobile.json file (this will make all pairings obsolete) or you scan the qr image in the module directory.

About 10 iOS users have installed the app, so if you didn’t receive a mail by apple you can send me your mail again via pm and i will add you to the beta testing.

Please use github issues as it is the better tracker and overview for others with the same issues as you have done already

Filled out survey this morning. Good luck with your thesis, hope my answers help you. (one thing is that my answer about frequency of config.js modifications may screw up your results, due to me playing around with hacking and developing modules) Would love to get on beta of the iOS app.

Little issue.

@lolobyte the problem was that his config.js file was locked to root access
