@lolobyte This is not related to the Remote Control, is it? Please make a a post in the troubleshooting section possibly with the configurations of your netatmo and Fuel modules, maybe something is wrong in your config.js.

@Makradon Sensor PIN 22 for the PIR-Sensor module is this one:

Edit: Maybe I was confused by the diagram of the DHT22 module. It looked to me like the GPIO and WiringPi numbers are different.

I developed the Remote Control Module (Link to Showcase Thread), and am currently making some major changes, to allow editing the config.js in a UI.
Judging from the traffic of the repository, this module is now being used by more people than just me, so I would like to make sure to gather feedback and fix possible bugs before releasing changes to everyone.

If you are using my module and are interested in helping me by testing the version on my develop branch, I would greatly appreciate it. Note that this version also might not work as intended all the time and can contain bugs. If you are afraid of messing up your config.js you should probably stay on the master branch. Even though backups should be created, these currently need to be restored manually.

If you want to help, please change to the develop branch (I assume you already installed it):

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control
git fetch origin
git checkout develop
npm install # install new dependencies

I will post here when new changes are ready for testing, if you want to be updated about new changes, you can watch this thread.
Also I will try to keep my trello board up to date.

Please post ideas, feedback and bugs concerning the develop branch in this thread (or make comments on the trello board).

@paviro Well the mirror is finished, but there is a reason why I called it “Magic Wardrobe” (see this prezi). The top half can be taken off though and carried around, so it might be possible.

If someone still has issues with the IP whitelist, please check this thread. For the other issues, if someone has clean steps to reproduce them, please post here or on the github issues linked in that post.

@schlachtkreuzer6 How did you install the module? It sounds like you may have downloaded a zipped version? Or did you use the installer or git clone https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control.git? Edit: Also please do @yawns suggestion, if the folder does not exist, something went wrong with cloning/initializing the git repository.

@kclemen If you want an example of how to put together python and a module, you can have a look at this. It uses a python backend for face recognition. I think you could use a similar approach to “listen” for flicks.

I am the most hands… just kidding, the leftmost guy. :D

@Snille I like the idea, will probably add this to my “want to do” features.

@Mar Please change your package.json file as displayed here and execute npm install again. @paviro has not yet responded to my PR, but hopefully this will get merged in sooner or later.

@done Kind of, yes. I think I have not fixed all mentioned errors, but hopefully the major ones. Also @Mr-Meeseeks added some new functionality (sending alerts).

Feel free to git pull the current status and test again. :) It should no longer mess up config.js files as much, but it still could be. It is using config.js.backupX so make manual backup somewhere else.

An example here:

@in_a_days Could you check if my changes on the develop branch solve the problem?

@Mar Good thing you found this error. Very strange, that it did not complain on my Pi before.

[Advertisement for my own module incoming]: We (ab)use the Trello module for this kind of note. My girlfriend and I use one dedicated list for MagicMirror notes, and if we put cards on it they show on the mirror. Downside is you need a Trello account, upside is, it is easy to edit from phone, PC, …

With some custom CSS styling it would look like a sticky note. :)

@kclemen Are you searching for the output in your browser console? The console.log("...") command from node_helper.js is shown on the console, however console.log("...") commands of your module will appear in your developer tools console in the browser (e.g. electron).

@Mar Well its not, as if it were documented anywhere in my readme. :( Should probably add this somewhere.

How long are you pressing the button? For a very short time? Note, that if the press is longer than 500ms it will not be registered as a (short) press (it is the maxShortPressTime and can be configured).

If this is not the case, I am sorry, but I have no real idea how to fix it, without having the same situation on my Pi.

@fox This PR should have fixed the issue (it is merged into the master).

Are you running MagicMirror 2.1.0? And is your PIR-Module up-to-date? Try updating both (see this and do it in both directories) to the newest version.

@broberg But why candle-free? :( The poor candles.

@dz I suggest you start with copying the helloworld module. For example, if you are in the MagicMirror modules folder you copy the default/helloworld folder to myawesomemodule (out of the default folder).

Then, in that folder you rename helloworld.js to myawesomemodule.js and change the name in line 10 in the new file also to myawesomemodule. You will also need to do these renaming steps, to change your module to a different name, so it is best if you pick a great name for what you want to do before you publish the module.

Now add your new module to the config:

{
    module: "myawesomemodule",
    position: "upper_third",
    classes: "large thin",
    config: {
        text: "My awesome module says: 'Hello World MagicMirror2'!"
    }
},

I hope this gets you started. Will see if I can add some more info on the node_helper.js stuff, but you may be able to figure this out yourself, by looking at other modules.
