One more thing… don’t buy a cheap SD card. Buy a high quality one that gets good reviews together with a RPi. Then you will at least minimize the risk of a corrupt card. Sandisk has worked good for me.

So I guess this is the first module you’ll install:

Setup a VPN server at her place, then you can safely access everything. IMO, it seems overly complex to relay warnings etc. She can just call you when things doesn’t work.

I haven’t tried MMM-Admin, but with SSH you can do anything, so I would just go for that.

The only thing that you cannot solve is if the raspberry falls off the network. Then you have to reboot locally. Or simple option: pull the plug. But if you pull the plug while writing to the SD card, strange things can happen…

@Muzziboy Great that it worked out!

One of my TV’s have some kind of automatic dimming based on the total brightness of what’s shown. Looks a bit like your video. So look in the settings/manual of the screen and see if you can find anything about this and if you can turn it off.

Looks really nice!!

@motdog If you open up a port for outside access of MM you’ll have to whitelist all IP’s since your phone changes IP. You will then expose it for everyone. This includes the config.js file, which might contain passwords to calendars etc. So be careful! Best option is to connect to your network using VPN. It is possible to setup a VPN server in some routers.

Check the log file. Search for hide or similar. Maybe there is a notification from somewhere that hides the modules.

Also add the excellent MMM-Logging module to get time stamps in log file, helps a bit when debugging.

Donated here as well. Again, thanks for this amazing project!

On Windows I like MobaXTerm. It allows you to access the command line and browse files on your Pi.
