Mobile app (bachelor thesis)

[kurt]

Just did it, also good luck!
If you need a beta tester with absolut no programming experience…

[plumcraft]

Can you resend me by email the link where i can download the app ? (i delete all emails in my spam folder on a daily basis)

thanks

@plumcraft can you send me your mail address in a private message?

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

[bminer1]

@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
I deleted the Module and reinstalled, the QR code is not generating now. I made a mess of this. ugh.

@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

[bminer1]

@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

[strawberry 3.141]

problem solved after adding ip to config.js

[strawberry 3.141]

I sent an email again with the 3rd prototype. Make sure to check your spam folders.
I also would like to ask to take part in the survey which I sent by mail to evaluate the app.

As it turned out the last fix didn’t solve the issue with loosing pairing on a
restart. This is hopefully resolved now.

In the settings there is an advanced and simple mode (simple mode is
currently available for the default calendar only).

Also there is a new entry in the menu to do some tasks (restart mirror,
show/hide modules).

Don't forget to update the MMM-Mobile

Problems should be created as issues on github.

Thanks

@strawberry-3.141

Thank you for the new admin functions.

It’s possible for the app to realize if there is an available update for one or more of the installed modules and make this visible with a badge number?

Similar function like the default “updatenotification” module from @michmich

@lolobyte

Spoiler: I want to integrate push notifications which will do exactly this. But that will be after my thesis.
