Not sure if this is the same issue as I am having, but when I have the interval too quick it breaks the module, but when I lengthened it quite a bit it seemed to work. Now I just need to wait for a couple hours…

Just a second for @Sean’s module though I prefer his MMM-CalendarExt2 which was way easier to implement and looks great once you get it into place.

Awesome thanks for sharing the link. I was looking at that case. Since this will be going against an outside wall that can get very hot ( I live in a desert) I need this to be cool.

For those that aren’t using the system as an actual mirror but instead display information all day, how are you keeping your Raspberry Pi cool? Mine seems to get super hot (as it’s continually running) it’s inside in an air conditioned room around 78 degrees Fahrenheit.

Have you tried using his MMM-CalendarExt2 module? I found it much easier to use. Super quick and easy to implement.

@Stoffbeuteluwe said in Trouble with MMM-Remote-Control:

{
module: “MMM-Remote-Control”,
// uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
position: ‘bottom_left’,
// you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
config: {
customCommand: {}, // Optional, See “Using Custom Commands” below
customMenu: “custom_menu.json”, // Optional, See “Custom Menu Items” below
showModuleApiMenu: true, // Optional, Enable the Module Controls menu
apiKey: “” // Optional, See API/README.md for details
}
},

@Stoffbeuteluwe
thanks. I implemented your code and it did get rid of the config request, but it still doesn’t display the URL as mentioned in the instructions.

Howdy!

I’m trying to install MMM-Remote-Control onto my Raspberry Pi. I follow the instructions as written, but each time I past the code to my config file I get the following screen.

Here is the module:

{
    			module: "MMM-Remote-Control"
   				// uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
    				, position: 'bottom_left'
    				// you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
    			config: {
        			customCommand: {},  // Optional, See "Using Custom Commands" below
        			customMenu: "custom_menu.json", // Optional, See "Custom Menu Items" below
        			showModuleApiMenu: true, // Optional, Enable the Module Controls menu
        			apiKey: "",         // Optional, See API/README.md for details
    				},
		},

What am I missing here? I must be simple, but I’ve been at it too long and my brain is now fried. Any help would be much appreciated.

Funny @Mykle1 you should respond. I just found all the modules you created. There are some really cool ones on there I didn’t see on the 3rd party page. You’ve got some good ones there. I’m amazed at the modules y’all are creating. One day I’ll give it a go.

@Sean you are right. It was because the background was transparent. I’ll have to see if I can find a background that I like. Thanks!

Howdy crew,

So I built out my first mirror which looks great thanks in big part to your support and some amazing module creators. As I’ve been scanning the forum I’m beginning to notice there are many modules that aren’t included on the 3rd party modules page. Is there a secret repository of modules or list of all modules out there?

There are some truly amazing ones that I’m only just finding through random posts in the forum.
