@ninjabreadman No i realy happy i got it working thanks everyone for all the help Alot of great support gong on in the forms Big Thumbs up to you all Thanks

appreciate all the help here guys, going to try a few of these options out this afternoon Cheers

@dnzio You start the shell/terminal/bash either directly on the pi, via ssh (putty for example) or via vnc and either type or copy paste the command Then you press enter

I am glad u found out what causes your problem :D Yeah, the RPi is very limited in processor power. That is the reason, why some users went over to old laptops or small x86 solutions :)

So, as in this thread I am trying to use a PIR sensor that powers off my screen via a relay. I’ve had no luck so far. The module MMM-PIR-sensor works nicely as it should, as long as I don’t use relayPIN in the config.js. I also tried doing that via external python scripts, but somehow the relay doesn’t get triggered. Well, it clicks extactly once and that’s it. Has anyone managed to use a PIR sensor with a relay on a Raspberry Pi 3 B? If so, how did you do that? Edit: Btw, gpio -g write 27 0 or gpio -g write 27 1 do absoloutly nothing. Wiringpi v 2.44 is installed.

@dexterbeng I would guess 15-30 seconds. pm2 has to detect that the process has terminated and restart. It depends on the polling interval for pm2 (which, as far as I can tell from their docs/issues, is 100ms, and cannot be changed – seems more frequent than I expected). Why are you killing mm with Ctrl+Q? Better to use pm2 restart mm or even pm2 start mm --watch which will also restart mm after file system changes (you may need to configure which directories to watch).

@Areeba Rotating the screen requires that you edit the /boot/config.txt file. You simply need to add the following line to that file and save. display_rotate=1 Reboot.

@MrRodz If you install MMM-Remote-Control and correctly configure the ipWhiteList, it will install a generic receiver to receive commands to your MM via a local HTTP GET request. You can then use an HTTP GET request like http://192.168.178.240:8080/remote?action=SHOW&module=module_0_MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic to trigger a module/action, switch profiles, or create your own custom actions. I’m terms of GPIO for your doorbell, see MMM-Buttons or MMM-PIR-Sensor. It seems to me you want to receive a GPIO event, switch profiles, and start a timer to later revert your profile to the original – that’s basically MMM-PIR-Sensor (movement, turn on screen, set timer to turn off).

I can confirm that address: "localhost" does not allow access from LAN. That is specifying the interface. So it need to be an interface facing your ethernet/wlan, i.e. “0.0.0.0” (any iface).

@carltonb said in Failure of v2.2.0: Install went fine, but again crashed when I tried to use this command. It crashes at the same point every time. See the file generation after I start the installer in the first post. Where exactly does it crash? I can’t follow you. I also can’t find the error in the pasted code above. Does it just stop where the code stops and not go on?

Not sure if this applies to you, but I had problems with updating the calendar. Turns out I had to change the wifi channel -> https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/4193/calendar-not-updating-after-changing-to-wifi-ssid/3

@Mitch1138 said in After upgrade (v2.1.1) multiple calendars not displaying: Edit this file: /home/pi/MagicMirror/node_modules/rrule-alt/lib/rrule.js Go to line 56 or search for the first occurance of “ORDINAL_BASE” and change this line: ORDINAL_BASE: new Date(1970, 0, 1), ORDINAL_BASE: new Date(1000, 0, 1), (set it to a lower year like 1900, I used 1000) Then restart your magic mirror This resolved the same problem for me. Thanks!

The PIR-Module doesn’t work correctly. I got a tip to change in the module directory and enter npm install. I did it, the module was rebuild and so the MM works. Thank you.

Sorry the arrows didn’t post to pict. Looking to make the sunrise/sunset icons orange. Trying to increase size of EL PASO, TX at top (header) Want to remove the total rainfall 0in column Trying to reduce gap between high and low temps Thanks

Hi, I am building an app with different buttons which the user can define for them selfes what happens when they are pressed. This information is located in the configuration array: config = { button : { name : "bla", callback : function(){} } } and the class organnizing it has a refrence to that button and subscribes to the click event and triggers said callback when clicked. How can I use module.sendSocketNotification in this configuration for the button callback?

Wow, thanks for these replies everyone. Blows my mind how it was just basically missing just a few “small,” to me, pieces. Hard to pick those out, need to step my game up and hit up CodeAcademy. JSHint is perfect! That will help me out a TON! And @RandomNoise, thank you for that idea, going to make it MUCH easier to browse and modify files that way! You guys rock thanks, what a great community

@noiz13 said in keep running against a wall: can i use normal debian would that be better? You sure can. I use ubuntu on my old laptops. It works perfectly for MM.

Hi @veitk, Follow the instructions here: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6233/modules-not-always-loading/

Great shout @randomnoise! Removed the pm2 mm as per @ninjabreadman’s instructions and restarted MagicMirror and everything loads perfectly! Can’t thank you all enough!
