Did you try using just Remote Control alone with MM?

• I have and the error still happening

Description

Remote-Control will not load ES Modules, and instead throws the following errors:

0|mm  | [2024-05-16 10:48:22.279] [ERROR] 2024-05-16T10:48:22 <error> ERROR! Could not load main module js file. Error found: Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: require() of ES Module /home/username/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RAIN-MAP/MMM-RAIN-MAP.js from /home/username/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control/node_helper.js not supported.
0|mm  | MMM-RAIN-MAP.js is treated as an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which declares all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
0|mm  | Instead either rename MMM-RAIN-MAP.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use dynamic import() which is available in all CommonJS modules, or change "type": "module" to "type": "commonjs" in /home/username/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-RAIN-MAP/package.json to treat all .js files as CommonJS (using .mjs for all ES modules instead).
0|mm  |  (/home/username/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Remote-Control/node_helper.js:323 Class.loadModuleDefaultConfig)

Expected behavior

Either the module should use import() as suggested, or, if the module cannot handle ES Modules, it should check whether the module is an ES Module and not attempt to import it.

Current behavior

Log error as shown above.

Possible solution

?

Steps to reproduce

1. Start MM with both MMM-remote-control and an ES Module module active.
2. See error
