Hey, it’s now a moth ago i fill up you survey.

What’s with the results of them?

I saw the MMM-Mobile add on for the magicmirror. ;-))

What’s with the ios beta testing?

What do u mean, when would you like to start with this?

@lolobyte

What’s with the results of them?

My intention was to present the results of the survey after i finished my bachelor thesis, to get the most representative result as possible, because most of the user are just on the forum for a few days until their problems are resolved, but a survey with 20 entrys hasn’t much to do with a representative survey, so there is the chance to reach more user.

What’s with the ios beta testing?

As I said 2 days ago, the first prototype is in beta review by apple and hopefully approved until the weekend so i can send out the app to the users

What do u mean, when would you like to start with this?

asap

Everyone should have received an email with the App (Android, Windows Phone).

iOS users should receive a second mail from Apple themselves with an invite for beta testing.

Beh

Nice! Thanks!

Gonna try it tonight.

Where should I report issues? Do you have a GitHub repo for the app?

@Beh issues should be reported here https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-Mobile

Just completed my survey - hope it’s not too late to get involved!

Hi, thank you for this.

Very IMPORTANT!!!

As i put the Module “MMM-Mobile” at the very last module on the end of the config.js, all my module were started in a new order so that the modules was on different locations.

My config.js was modified like this sample:

 /* Magic Mirror Config Sample * * By Michael Teeuw http://michaelteeuw.nl * MIT Licensed. */ var config = {        port: 8080, //      address: "192.168.178.45",  ipWhitelist: [ "127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.1/24", ], language: 'de', timeFormat: 24, units: 'metric', modules: [ { module: 'alert', classes: 'small bright', // Add your own styling. Optional. disabled: false, }, { .......

and so on. That means, the hole config structure was damaged and in one line.

Has anyone else this issue?

After restoring the old config.js from the backup that your module was creating, the right module order was again ok.

After that i put the “MMM-Mobile” module at first module in my config and my mirror works like before.

Same issue! Attempting your solution now. Thank you!

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.

lolobyte

@in_a_days

ohh, reallly.

But is it necessary to run npm install again?

lolobyte

Has anyone reached a mail from apple?

But is it necessary to run npm install again?

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.

@in_a_days @lolobyte

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

@strawberry-3.141

Sorry, pm is what?

The App run only with ios10?

@lolobyte personal message

it requires at least iOS 8 just wanted to say that 10 people have received the mail by apple

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.

hi, Your app is successfully loaded from apple.

Little issue.

Can you tell me whats wrong here?

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

lolobyte

@strawberry-3.141

That’s happened since i restored the reformatted config.js. ;-)
