Mobile app (bachelor thesis)

strawberry 3.141

I just send out the mails,

Everyone should have got an email with instructions.

iOS users should have received their mail from Apple about an hour ago.

First of all I highly recommend to uninstall the app on your phone before
installing the new version to avoid conflicts, because I made changes to
the Storage and Pairing System.

Don't forget to reinstall the module or updating it.

Changelog:
- Added config options to the module.
- Tour is only skipable when already paired.
- Settings added (Multilingual).
- Most modules can be installed through the app.
- Most modules can be updated through the app.
- Most module dependencies can be installed through the app.

- Fixed: Config in one line
- Fixed: Freezing by trying to sync without connection
- Fixed: Overlapping of status bar with skip button in the tour

If you got no email by now please contact me

I’m sorry, there is a bug in the module, which will override the pairing process each time you start the mirror. I made a bugfix over my phone which hopefully fixes it. Please update the module. It can be that you have to redo the pairing process.

I cant get the QR Code to come back up. My app is saying “Cannot Establish Connection to MagicMirror”. I didnt have the IP Address in there so i added it and now i cant get the QR code to come back on.

@bminer1 remove the qr.png and mobile.json in the module directory

@strawberry-3.141
I deleted the files and it came back up but the app is still not connecting.

defaults: {
    ip: '192.168.......',
    qrSize: 300,
    qrTimer: 60 * 1000 },

@strawberry-3-141

it’s safe now to update module and app?

strawberry 3.141

@bminer1 you shouldn’t edit the files, remove the module directory completely, clone again, put your config in config.js if you dont succeed send me a private message and i will help you

@lolobyte, still you should uninstall the app first before upgrading to the newest prototype, but the magic mirror module should be fine with just updating

i don’t know why but i had again problems scanning the qr code on the Mirror.

After the qr code automated was hidden and all modules started i went to my laptop starting a vnc session and opening the qr code with mirage and the scan was simle and fast done, the app has synchronized an it works now.

Maybe the qr picture is to dark or to small, i don’t know what’s the mater with qr scanning on my iPhone 6s.

strawberry 3.141

@lolobyte next time you could try to use the config option qrSize

lolobyte

@strawberry-3.141

ok, i’ll try that

@strawberry-3.141
Im googling how to remove the module directory but its not really clear. Is it as simple as deleting the module folder or is there more to it?

tosti007

@bminer1 yea just deleting the folder removes a module

Hi Strawberry 3.141, I am still having an issue with using the mobile app.
Below is the steps i took based on the install guide from the git and deleting the folder.

Here is the install:

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules $ git clone https://github.com/fewieden/MMM-Mobile.git
Cloning into ‘MMM-Mobile’…
remote: Counting objects: 84, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (21/21), done.
remote: Total 84 (delta 12), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 63
Unpacking objects: 100% (84/84), done.
Checking connectivity… done.
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules $

Then the Dependencies

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Mobile $ npm install
mmm-mobile@1.0.0 preinstall /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Mobile
node scripts/preinstall.js
Creating Backup for config.js!
Saving updated config.js!
mmm-mobile@1.0.0 /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Mobile
├─┬ async@2.1.4
│ └── lodash@4.17.4
├── moment@2.17.1
├── qr-image@3.2.0
└── simple-git@1.65.0
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Mobile $

add to config.js file

“modules”: [
{
“module”: “alert”
},
{
module: “MMM-Mobile”
},

the QRcode popped up but still would not connect
in the app, i put in my IP address and it said Connected for a milisecond then showed could not connect again
