@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?
