@RyanRoyster - Short answer: It’s what you see on your mirror, but in your web browser. Long answer: The Magic Mirror consists of about three main parts. There’s a web application that runs in Node.js, a display app called Electron that displays the contents of the web app, and a monitoring app called PM2 that starts everything automatically and restarts it if it crashes. Because it’s a web app, it works like a web server. When you look at your mirror, you’re essentially seeing Electron acting like a web browser pointed to a web server. They just happen to be on the same machine. What we’re trying to get set up for you is to use your regular web browser (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari or whatever) to do the same task as Electron: display what the web server is serving up. Let’s get you browsing To answer your other question about the IP address: Assuming that you’re working on your mirror’s RasPi itself, you can find the ip address by opening up a terminal window and typing ifconfig. You’ll get a bunch of stuff back, but what you’re looking for will be like this: wlan0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 Quick interpretation: wlan0 = wireless adapter. If you’re connected via WiFi, this is where you wish to look. inet 10.0.0.15 this is your IP address. Okay, that said, edit your config.js and at the top of the file, find this section: var config = { address: "0.0.0.0", < Make it read thusly port: 8080, ipWhitelist: [], < likewise Save your file. On your computer, on the same WiFi network, open your web browser and point it at the IP address you grabbed earlier. Remember to add the port number! In my case, http://10.0.0.15:8080 Your web browser should show you your MM interface.

Hi @teitlebot , please can you share your config file as i am tried to edit mine to bypass the problem and can’t figure it out

I’ll agree here - I made sure to have the mirror set up exactly how I wanted it, CSS, config, modules (minus one I couldn’t find) etc, long before I attempted to program my first module. . I then dove into the module building using the previously mentioned jsfiddle.net to create that missing module for me. Due to work obligations, I haven’t been able to get back to it, but I plan to do that soon, and fix up things that people have asked for.

I’ll just throw in another vote for @sdetweil and his scripts. Dude is amazing when it comes to helping people with their mirrors.

gotta throw commas in… module: "compliments", position: "lower_third", config: { compliments: anytime: [ "Hey Rach!" ], etc. use npm run config:check until you get no errors.

Hello, I want disable Wifi and bt when the screensaver is running on the MM. What is the file to edit? Thanks for advance

Hi. I still think it was a good question. I for example wanted to have twice your module one above the other. Say the first shows the bus connection and below the train. Or simply two different starting points. How can I write this? Thanks for this very helpful module by the way!

@ajurcoi - In the future, please use the markdown features of the forum for posting code and logs.

@sdetweil Wow, you are a true legend, I had this issue with “DISPLAY” before, but since in the error message it only said something is wrong in the “electron js”, I never found it.

@kelly97129 Sure. PM2 is simply the best way I’ve found to manage what’s running automatically on my system.

That totally worked, thank you so much for the fast reply!

@BKeyport Thanks!

@sdetweil The first two options give me a window that I can drag and drop to the second vertical screen Unfortunately the scaling is still a problem. [image: 20200506-162053.jpg]

@lavolp3 npm audit fix won’t fix them, but i’m glad to hear that i don’t really have to do anything with them now :D.

@nakulbende sorry, no idea… I spent a year debugging one system, added watchdog, and when watchdog was installed it restarted the system when i t didn’t need to… but there was a few moments of contact lost between front and back end, always recoverable, but watchdog killed the system… every night 4-5 times… never did figure it out…

Last week it was all translated soo…

I have a document that contains quotes I would very much like to use these quotes in the Randon Quotes module. the problem is the the way the quotes are formatted in the Randon Quotes module is with quotation at the start and end of each quote. My document looks like the one below and has about 1000 pages *The Answer to the Great Question . . . Of Life, the Universe and Everything . . . Is . . . Forty-two.The computer Deep Thought, in ibid. ch. 27 So long, and thanks for all the fish.The dolphins’ farewell message to humanity, in So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish , ch. 31 (fourth book in the Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series, 1984) Franklin Pierce Adams (1881–1960)US JOURNALIST AND HUMORISTA byword from the 1930s for wit and erudition, Adams set a precedent for the modern newspaper column with ‘The Conning Tower’, in the Herald Tribune 1913–37. He said of himself: ‘I am easily influenced. Compared with me a weather vane is Gibraltar.’ Years ago we discovered the exact point, the dead center of middle age. It occurs when you are too young to take up golf and too old to rush up to the net.Nods and Becks , ‘Valentine’ (1944)* If you think you can help me here I would be very thankful.

@sdetweil Thank you ever so much… I should have used the automated installer and will do so next time. This script fixed things right up.

@blee1997 said in MMM-MyCommute not able to access API: SOLUTION! The MMM-MyCommute module instructions all work. Until you get to the API’s needed for this project. You will need to enable 3 APIs instead of the instructed 1. 1.) Maps Javascript API 2.) Directions API 3.) Geocoding API after enabling all of these, the module should be working properly. Mine doesn’t load at all. I have enabled the three modules and input the API key in my config file. Any suggestions?
