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!

@twosix said in Remote Control Module is Not Working at All for Me: “cannot get remote/html” message. Any help would be great! Thanks! Assuming you can access the mirror, and that you followed these installation directions: cd ~/MagicMirror/modules # adapt directory if you are using a different one git clone https://github.com/Jopyth/MMM-Remote-Control.git cd MMM-Remote-Control npm install is there a remote.html file in your MMM-Remote-Control folder?

@twosix in all your examples you’re escaping the closing quote { symbol: "calendar-check-o ", url: "webcal://p55-calendars.icloud.com/published/2/TDWYwJjbv2BpM3HLxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxvZM-3TNpXNgZXsi192SI7M6pxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXZCkcApre7Kg\" } you can see there that the next line is green which indicates that the string isn’t closed there probably. This happen because of the \ right in front of the quote character. If the backslash doesn’t belong to your string remove it, if you need the backslash you have to escape the backslash by adding a second. like this: { symbol: "calendar-check-o ", url: "webcal://p55-calendars.icloud.com/published/2/TDWYwJjbv2BpM3HLxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxvZM-3TNpXNgZXsi192SI7M6pxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXZCkcApre7Kg\\" } here you can see that the closing curly brace is no longer highlighted in green because the string is closed properly.

@twosix this all depends on your router make and modell, google it.

Under the Ip Whitelist you have to enter your ip address from the mobile phone or Pc or mac (do not know what device you use to access the raspi too) The raspi you have to assign a fixed ip. How it world do you have to look at the Internet If the screen and keyboard are present and connected, you can enter the following command on the command line: ifconfig or Ip a or Hostname -I

@twosix you could use both modules or you could remove the default ones. Either you remove the whole module entries: { module: "currentweather", position: "top_right", config: { location: "New York", locationID: "", //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt appid: "YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY" } }, { module: "weatherforecast", position: "top_right", header: "Weather Forecast", config: { location: "New York", locationID: "5128581", //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt appid: "YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY" } }, or you add disabled: true, like this: { module: "currentweather", position: "top_right", disabled: true, config: { location: "New York", locationID: "", //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt appid: "YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY" } }, { module: "weatherforecast", position: "top_right", disabled: true, header: "Weather Forecast", config: { location: "New York", locationID: "5128581", //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt appid: "YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY" } },

This is a carpentry question really and a matter of choice. IF you have glue that is very good like Titebond glue for wood then yes you could glue and clamp it. This is a preferred method for those who do not want screw or nail holes to show…BUT if you don’t get it perfectly square that could be a problem… You could also screw your frame together… or nail. You could also do both…glue and screw/nail it. Any of those combinations would work…

@SpecialRob Pictures certainly are better than words. After all, they take up more disk space.

Seems like a good price. I was a bit worried about it being TN panel (they usually have very poor viewing angles), but the website lists it with 170 / 160‎ viewing angle. I think the colors will still be messed up at larger angles, but since MagicMirror is mostly black and white, it doesn’t matter so much. Overall, I haven’t owned a TN panel in years, so I can’t give a certain answer. EDIT: But then again, I don’t live in the USA, so maybe the prices are a bit lower there. 50 € for a used monitor is a quite okay price over here.
