@mumblebaj said in Problems to get Instagram profile visible on MagicMirror:

@ruffneck2 SO clearly something went wrong with the auth request. There is no detail in the screenshot you provided.
in node_helper.js can you uncomment this line to get the error body? should be line no 193. You may want to add it after the else as well.
If this forum is unable to assist then you may want to open an issue in the Gitlab page for the module.

Thank you for your suggestion. I will give it another try at the weekend. I have already tried it on Github, with similar success ;)

Could an admin please move this topic to the Troubleshooting section?
I think it is better placed there and more visible to get repsonse and assistance.
Thank you

Doesn’t anybody use Instagram modules on his MagicMirror?

Instagram and Facebook policies have changed in the meantime to obtain an access token for an application programming interface (API).
Most forum posts refer to the process before 2018.
Does anyone have one of the MMM-Instagram, MMM-Instagram2020 or MMM-InstagramView modules currently running? I have now tried several times and already invested days to realise a display of my Instagram profile on the MagicMirror².

Could anyone help me with this, or is it not worth the effort, because even the long-lasting access tokens do not work.
To generate an API key , I only specified “Website” when creating an application, but I get the following error message:

My current configuration looks like:

			position: 'top_center',
			header: 'Instagram - @Hypeneedz',
			config: {
				client_id: '7424...02', // Facebook Instagram App ID

				showMediaType: false,

				shuffle: true,
				animationSpeed: 5000,
				updateInterval: 60000,
					}
		},

I’m not sure about the URL respective the redirect_uri https://localhost/ because I want to display the profile at home on my mirror and not on any public website.

Does anybody could assist me on this?

Hi,
I have had my MM mounted on the wall since 2018.
I use an RPi 2B+ on which Raspian Stretch is installed.
Because I had significant problems after an update, I stopped at version 2.5.0 and have not updated since then. That’s ok for me.
Now, in January, I installed the MMM-Remote-Control module and noticed that my mirror always freezes after a certain time.
The instructions on github say something generic about the optional Realtek 8192 WiFi dongle as well as something about “For RPi 3 (Raspbian Stretch)”, but for RPi 3.
Could someone please help me and tell me which command is valid for me now? Either only the part for the dongle or the part for the RPi 3? Unfortunately, nothing is working at the moment due to misconfiguration and I have to take the mirror off the wall again, so I’d rather ask in advance.

@sdetweil
I removed the MMM-Remote-Control folder with newest Release version and downloaded and installed an older Release version (1.1.5) and this one is working on my old mirror which is totally fine for me :)
I’m happy now, so thank you for your efforts and support on this topic. :flexed_biceps_light_skin_tone:

@sdetweil said in [MMM-Remote-Control] Can not access remote control module:

npm -v

Node Version is v9.11.2
NPM Version is 5.6.0

Yes, unfortunately I’m using MagicMirror 2.5.0, because my mirror is already finished and mounted to the wall.
In the past I had a lot of trouble after trying to update to a higher version. I had to disassemble the entire system, re-install it to get it working again. To avoid running into same issue once again, I decided to be fine with running system, but now I have found this helpful module and would like to use it to shutdown the system more securely.
However, does it has to do with incompatible version of the module and old files of node and npm? Should I use an older version of the module instead?

Thanks for your reply.
I’ve performed pm2 logs --lines=100

At first, I would like to thank again for developing this module MMM-Remote-Control.
I’ve cloned it into my \MagicMirror\modules folder via manual command from Github and since this failed via automatic installer script as well:

bash -c "$(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control/master/installer.sh)"

Once I add the module to my config/config.js file with

			{
			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: {
				apiKey: "my_ultra_secret_API_key"
			}
		},

or the command given on Github page

{
    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
        showModuleApiMenu: true, // Optional, Enable the Module Controls menu
        secureEndpoints: true, // Optional, See API/README.md
        // uncomment any of the lines below if you're gonna use it
        // customMenu: "custom_menu.json", // Optional, See "Custom Menu Items" below
        // apiKey: "", // Optional, See API/README.md for details
        // classes: {} // Optional, See "Custom Classes" below
    }
},

the MagicMirror² does not start after performing pm2 restart mm.sh
Once I uncomment the module in config.js it’s working fine again.
Does anybody could provide a hint, so that I’d be able to shutdown the MagicMirror² remotely?
I also get connection to the mirror from any device in my home network via http://ipaddressofpi:8080/ when uncommenting the module, adding this information in hope it would help to solve this issue.

Hello dear fellow MagicMirror builders, after lots of trials and errors, I have finally finished my MagicMirror.

I wanted to build a simple mirror that blends harmoniously into our interior and is also accepted by my family.
The mirror should therefore have a certain size, but but should not protrude too far into the room.
That’s why I have choosen a reasonably UltraSlim TV and a slim metal frame.
I´m using a Samsung Smart TV and a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B assembled onto a metal frame.
On the Pi the Operating system Raspberry Stretch from April 2019 and MagicMirror 2.7.1 is installed.
Additionally I have installed an On/Off switch to the metal frame.
The whole assy of frame and TV I have mounted to the wall via mounting rails and has a total depth of 52 mm and a weight of 25 kilogram.

The cost of the whole build (including frame, glass and electronics) was a little more than EUR 200.

Since I have a 4-fold multiple socket integrated, of course the mirror can still be extended.
Maybe in the future even LED light and face recognition will be added, but at the moment I would like to admire my little project for a while.

So finally of course I would like to thank Michael Teeuw, the creator of the MagicMirror, the different developers of the various modules and of course this community, who made this project possible.
