@lucallmon How about you complain on their site instead of here? Quote from https://newsapi.org/sources:

Can’t see the one you want? Send us an email request (support@newsapi.org) and we can probably add it.

@Steff Seems like you need to push your changes. They are local only unless you use git push to send them to the github server.

TLDR: You need to enable listening to all addresses (see the comment on the Github issue) in addition to the usual adaptation of the ipWhitelist. Add this line to your config.js:

address: "0.0.0.0",

Since MagicMirror 2.1.3, the webserver only listens to the loopback interface be default. This removes any possible attack on the webserver for most users (not that their are any known attacks right now, but in times of mirai it is a good thing!), but unfortunately also effectively stops accessing the MagicMirror through HTTP and how the remote module currently works. If any developer has a good idea how to combine the best of both worlds, please let me know.

@saifkazi I suggest you update again and try it out.

@kerijn @fox I think I fixed this issue before, it comes from the changes the Magic Mirror version 2.1.0 introduced. I am not sure, but I think the changes neccessary are almost as simple as here. Will have to test this at home though. Maybe there was something else needed.

I offer to help as a moderator.

Why do I think I am qualified?

• By now I feel like I understand most of the project, except a few details here and there
• I have previously moderated a forum for a few years (in my opinion successfully and fairly) - even though the topic (a forum for a gaming clan for an MMO) and technology (that was 6 years ago) was different, the same tasks and skills apply
• I try to be as helpful as possible, whenever I type an answer (maybe my reputation rank compared to my number of posts rank (currently #7 vs. #10) between the users of the forum reflects that just a little bit - or it is just the popularity of my modules, who knows?)
• I have had suggestions before (here), 80 percent of which @paviro carried out, a tiny part of me is still waiting for the other 20 percent to be changed or an answer why the remainder wasn’t such a good idea

Why do I want to?

• Some of the points you mentioned in the moderator job bug me, too, and it is clear that it is too much work for you guys - so many topics with missing markdown, unfitting thread titles and error reports (troubleshooting requests) in the showcase threads - and I could not help before, but I might be able to do that, if you take me
• I love the community and the project, and reached a (in my opinion) surprising amount of attention with a few of my modules, and would like stay active

Why you should definitely not take me:

• I would definitely no longer call my post a short text
• Also I would have more free time

In the last weeks since Christmas I didn’t have as much time for the project and the forum, I had to do a lot of stuff for university and work, but things have calmed down a bit now. In the next days I will start dealing with all the issues on my modules, since v2.1.0 came out, and hopefully also soon help with moderating the forum.

@Mar said in [MMM-PIR-Sensor] Install failing:

I’ve tried following the instruction above of removing and reinstalling but I keep getting the below errors. I’m not even sure what they are unfortunately, wondering if anyone is able to help.

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-PIR-Sensor $ npm install
npm WARN engine electron-rebuild@1.5.7: wanted: {"node":">=6.0.0"} (current: {"node":"4.2.1","npm":"2.14.7"})

This is an old node version. Please update your node and npm. (If you need help check the answers to this SO question.)

New update:

• It is now possible to “call” all functions provided via the remote control from modules through notifications (see the readme), thanks to @ianperrin

@Mykle1 Thanks for mentioning. :)

@Baxer If you do not have a button, you could use a custom URL together with the Remote-Control (you need to install and configure the module though, do not forget to adapt your IP whitelist). Then you can send a notification request via an URL by accessing a custom URL.

In your case the URL would probably look like this:
http://192.168.xxx.xxx:8080/remote?notification=UPDATE_SL&action=NOTIFICATION

Or you could change the module to use a timer, but I assume the author of the module had a good reason for not doing that.

If anyone is interested in helping to test the next major (and future) versions of the module, I am searching for beta testers. Please note that the version may still contain bugs, and thus involves an (unlikely) risk of your Raspberry Pi explo… I mean you having to fix some stuff from the command line and your config.js by yourself.

@Mitchfarino This could be an option, however it only visually looks the same.

If for example a module temporarily does not work for some reason (blocks the start of the mirror), hiding it with the Remote-Control would not help.

What you probably wanted to say is: This should also be added to the Remote Control module. ;) And I would like to include this option in the GUI for the config there. And there is a big advantage in a config option to disable a module (versus commenting out), since this leaves the values readable from other JS code, i.e. the Remote Control module.
