This is a feature request. Is there any way to create a slider for volume?

Klettner commented

Thanks for your suggestion.
I think this is a great idea. I can look into this and include it in one of the future updates.
Do these VOLUME_UP/_DOWN commands work on default or do you use an additional module for this?
If so, it would be great if you could send a link to it.

Thanks! The VOLUME_UP/_DOWN sends a notification with the installed MMM-Volume module and works right out of the box -https://github.com/Anonym-tsk/MMM-Volume

Also, would be great if it had a QR code option to port settings over to different phones.

I agree, this would be a nice feature. The problem is that currently all dart QR-scanner packages have only support for android and ios, but I would like to maintain one codebase for all platforms (Android, Windows, Linux). Since Windows and Linux support is relatively new, we probably just need to wait some time, until they are supported by these packages as well.

Completely understandable and thank you for the explanation.
Separately, my internet connection went out recently and reset the IP address for my Pi. Is there any way to edit each Device IP address in the app? Thanks!

Klettner commented

Unfortunately this is not possible at the moment, but definitively something that should be added in the future

I figured out a very simple solution for the QR code issue for downloading the app to a smartphone:

  • Install an image module - I installed MMM-SimpleLogo
  • Go to https://www.qr-code-generator.com/ to create a free QR code and you can create as many as you like.
  • Enter the link for latest release of your apk in the QR generator: https://github.com/Klettner/MM-Remote/releases/download/v3.1.0/app-release.apk
  • Download and rename and place the QR code image in the image folder of your image module (in my case for simplelogo it's in "Public") and update the image module with the correct image file path and name.
  • Scan the on-screen QR code in the MM with your smartphone and Voila!

I think it is also a good idea to add a QR code to the MM-Remote Github page, so that it is easier to download the app on the smartphone when visiting the Github page with a pc
