  While trying to debug modules, I’ve been given quite mixed feedback regarding what to use to print messages to console, on either local system or in remote browser DevTools. So far, I have found the only reliable way that always seem to print something in the browser, is using console.error(). The others have varied. I’m on MM v2.2.2 (master).

  yes, some of the platforms (Pi Stretch for example) are not installing npm and/or node as part of their initial installs… see here https://www.battlehillmedia.com/installing-node-js-and-npm-on-raspberry-pi-3/

  I have the same problem with pi-hole-stats module. I’ve installed it on a raspberry pi zero mirror and on another raspberry pi3B mirror. And in both cases, the same problem. The screen turns black after a few hours working. The solution was the same: comment out the pi-hole-stats module. I don’t know why this happens

  @costascontis - Are all of your modules working correctly? Some modules may have an infinite and very short retry on API calls. Multiple internet calls take up a fair amount of processing power. Do you notice anything in the logs?

  @thestigh If sensitivity was set wrongly, It might have possibility of not-distinguishing pattern of your voice. Too high sensitivity for model would make hard to catch your hotword, Too low sensitivity for model would make indistinction between hotwords and similar words. Anyway, this issue about voice model and sensitivity is related to your environment of real usage , there is no silver bullet for common cases. Each case is different with others. So you need to optimize values of them to fit to your environment by yourself. Try many values and find optimized values for you.

  Hi all, As I will try to get more power to my MM, I would like to use an old laptop for my project. But, I need of course a different solution than for the RPi and I know particularly Hotword and AssistantMk2 uses libs that are not fully compatible for combinations amd64 and later builds of Linux. I’ve tested Debian Stretch, amd64 version and it will not work: Hotword: Snowboy will not run (compiles without errors) and gives pointer error at npm start AssistantMk2: compile with electron-rebuild fails due to grpc issues. Have anybody made these two modules run with Ubuntu 16.04 or other flavours?

  @axel - Now that you can run your script and have it execute the command (I’m assuming that when you run the script, it does what you want) you just have to tell pm2 to manage that script. Tell pm2 to manage the script: pm2 start startcam.sh Tell pm2 to remember & autostart the script: pm2 save Let us know how it goes.

  @janosch it’s possible that one of the LCD cables itself is not seated properly that can cause those issues, unclip them and reattach them and let us know
