The remote control module is not working for me to any extent, when I whitelist the IPs for my school’s wifi (following the HowToWhitelistIP thread’s directions) in every way stated, I get the “this device is not allowed to access…” message. Then, when I allow all IPs access I get the “cannot get remote/html” message. Any help would be great! Thanks!

@McSorley Did you glue the frame to the box? If so, how far did you offset it from the wood to create the lip?

@Mykle1 Okay I did that, and figured out the problem is my calendar…is there anyway I can fix that?

@bhepler Thank you! I did this and it reset my config file, and that booted up fine, but when I put my information in, and started it:
cd MagicMirror
npm start

I got the "WARNING? Could not validate config file. Please correct syntax errors. Starting with default configuration.”

Then load it said “Please create config file.”

@cowboysdude Thank you, I ran that through my code and there appears to be no problems…I just can’t figure out what the problem is…I boot the mirror up normally by going:

cd Magic Mirror
npm start

and then I get the “WARNING? Could not validate config file. Please correct syntax errors. Starting with default configuration.”

and then when it loads the “Please create config file.”

@Mykle1 I did the same, I fired up the sample config and it worked fine, but then after I put my stuff in, it gave me the “WARNING? Could not validate config file. Please correct syntax errors. Starting with default configuration.”

And then when I loads up it says, “Please create config file.”

@Mykle1 Thank you, but that didn’t work…I looked back at my code and realized that the full calendar link got cut off, and it did have a quote on the end of it…so I am still not sure what is happening, thanks though!

So when I boot up the mirror I get the unable to validate config error, and gives me a need to create config screen when booted. How do I fix?

@Mykle1 Thanks, do you have any visuals or guide on how to do this? When I go to the static section of the wifi network it is blank. How do I fix this?

I am having trouble getting the IP address for my iPhone to use with the Remote Control module. The IP address often fluctuates, is there any way I can select all possible IPs or a better way to get the IP for my iPhone?

Yes, that is what I did. It is the under IPWhitelist, correct? Otherwise, that didn’t work for me.

For the weather modules, if I want to switch to Wunderground, do I hide the default and just keep Wunderground visible? If not, what do I do?

So, I am looking into making a frame, and have figured the best option for me would be to but a custom made picture frame with plexiglass, and swap the glass for the two way mirror. Would that work? If it would, do I glue or nail it to the shell that contains the monitor? If it wouldn’t, what should I do instead?
