How to solve it,Thnaks so much

[Jopyth]

@nobita It is not an error, just a warning. You can use it, but make sure to make a backup of your config.js file first.

Also new release with the long overdue french translation (which might need some improvements - I do not know, PRs are welcome if you spot anything):

[1.1.5] - 2018-05-14

Added

• French translation

Fixed

• Updated documentation to new MagicMirror version
• Fix error on updating MagicMirror

@jopyth Thank so much

[justjim1220]

very cool.
question… can you get this to work using touch screen?
like the buttons you show on the screen, control them using touch instead of mouse pointer or keyboard?

[Jopyth]

@justjim1220 This is intended to be used from a different device (i.e. not your MagicMirror), for example, your smartphone or tablet. Maybe you could get it to work on your MagicMirror with something like the IFrame module and a touchscreen?

@jopyth I just want to thank you again for your work on this module! Your module rocks!

BTW - It doesn’t have to be a mobile/tablet, I wrote an AI skill for Mycroft that uses your MMM-Remote-Control module to pass verbal commands to the MagicMirror.

If you’d like, check out the 2 min. video here.

And here’s a link to the repo if anyone would like to check out the Python code that interacts with the MMM-Remote-Control module.

Thanks again!
Cheers!

Hi snille,

Have you ever found a solution? I want to do something similar, but was also not able to get a module to be hidden/shown during certain times using MMM-ModuleScheduler

I tried

{notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule:  '*/2 * * * MON-FRI', payload: {action: "SHOW&module=module_15_MMM-Traffic"}},
                                
{notification: 'REMOTE_ACTION', schedule:  '1-59/2 * * * MON-FRI', payload: {action: "HIDE&module=module_15_MMM-Traffic"}}

Does not make real sense, switching on a module every other minute, but would have been nice for testing…

If I use this as a GET request via HTTP,

http://My_MM_IP:8080/remote?action=HIDE&module=module_16_MMM-Traffic

it works like charm…also curl works using another Raspi sending this command to the MM

Any idea?

Thanks, Peter

@paulb

Is your device listed in “whitelist”, in your config.js?

Please check forum on whitelist issues.

@jopyth in light of topic resurrection, I’m looking into creating multiple functions for my pi’s. I’m using MMM-NetworkScanner and MMM-Remote-Control. The idea is like follows:

When I leave home, my mobile goes offline from home network. I’m looking for a command to enable camera (reboot y/n) to enable another project I’d like to combine with this. (Pi Camera Notifier: https://iotbreaks.com/build-a-camera-alert-application-with-raspberrypi-3-and-iosandroid-pushbullet-app/) turning it into a security cam. The commands available in the readme of MMM-RC didnt hand me a clue for further investigations

I’d love to see these work in conjunction that’d give it a whole new dimension :)
