if you installed one of the calendar patches or used the develop branch and intend to upgrade MANUALLY, YOU have to get back to the master branch ahead of time check the current branch cd ~/MagicMirror git branch output example * _fix_clipping develop master and if the highlighted (*) name is NOT master then rm package-lock.json rm package.json git checkout master use git branch to verify master is selected before continuing then do the commands as listed in the documentation if you are using my upgrade script, it will handle all this for you.

MagicMirror install on pi0w broken with legacy OS… chromium startup yields illegal instruction uninstall/reinstall doesn’t fix… I think it installed the armv7l version incorrectly.

we have seen and verified that electron 8.5 and above are not working on raspian Jessie but Jessie is pretty old… u will see an error on npm start (after a version upgrade) /home/pi/MagicMirror__RL1/node_modules/electron/dist/electron: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libdbus-1.so.3: no version information available (required by /home/pi/MagicMirror__RL1/node_modules/electron/dist/electron) strongly recommended to rebuild a new sd card with raspian Buster

fixes are published in the next release via the develop branch to get there if you did manual install cd ~/MagicMirror git checkout develop git pull npm install restart MagicMirror as normal if you used my install script cd ~/MagicMirror git fetch origin develop:develop git checkout develop npm install if u are already ON the develop branch, and want to update to the latest, git pull npm install restart MagicMirror as normal

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).

@atwist said in MMM-Universal-Pir - Desparately seeking right command: DISPLAY=0.0 xrandr --output HDMI-2 --off Dear @atwist, guessing from the distance is quite hard. You didn’t provide system information. From your told story you can try to check two things which came in my mind: PIR sensor: does this work correctly / is it adjustd correctly (on my sensor there are two screws to adjust distance and sensitivity. I had SERIOUS truble with theses settings and motion detection as my Pi5 gettih hot (caused by insufficient cooling) Screen/Monitor itself: Does some energy setting is causing the monitor to come back by itself? Good luck, Ralf
