Hey @JonoGee, mate I have been researching but to no avail. Sorry mate on that. I’m just not too familiar with your set up.
The Mic and Speakers I got are just some cheap USB type models.
Speakers | Mic

If you do go by this type of setup then the previous code I placed up should work #fingersCrossed ;-)

After you updated the MagicMirror framework, did you rebuild your modules?

Go into each module folder and rebuild with npm install. The restart your MagicMirror process and see if that gets you up & running.

Hi, I have tried what u said and what the link you provided said and i still cannot get it to work

I updated my MagicMirror, and apparently there was a breaking change in the calendar configuration for some reason, because when I remove it from my config, the mirror works. Here’s what I have:

{ module: "calendar", header: "Upcoming Events", position: "top_left", config: { timeFormat: "absolute", getRelative: 0, urgency: 0, showEnd: false, maximumEntries: 10, calendars: [ { symbol: "calendar-check-o ", url: "webcal://p62-calendars.icloud.com/published/2/hkgslOqBKyBGC-S.... } ] } },

Can someone tell me where I’ve gone wrong?

Again the same problem when updating to 2.8.0 version

I just removed those files out of MagicMirror by adding them to the desktop and ran the commands with no issue as well.

Thanks! Works perfectly.

so i am running MM on a Rpi3 and it works just fine for several days.After 7-8 days more or less suddenly the screen blacks showing only my MMM-RTSPStream feed using vlc.Tried to restart it with pm2 and it seems it runs fine but i only get the same black screen.If i open mm remotely to chrome browser for example,it shows up and working fine.I only get black at Rpi.If i restart Rpi pm2 seems to start mm but nothing shows up.If i “npm start” from MagicMirror directory log shows that MM and all modules are running fine but i still get nothing on screen.Now the weird part,if i “sudo apt-get update—> sudo apt-get upgrade” and reboot then everything is magically working like before.Any ideas?

@ronafios edit the file MMM-EmbedYoutube.js, add routine for

suspend: function(){ // add specifics here }, resume: function(){ // add specifics here }

I don’t know how the module works… so, you will have to learn that to update…

if u fork the original repo, then clone that, you will be able to push your changes back to github and submit a pull request back to the MMM-EmbedYoutube author to enable this capability for others

Hello,

unfortunately I have a problem with my PIR-Sensor.
I followed the instructions of MagicMirrorCentral (https://www.magicmirrorcentral.com/pir-sensor-raspberry-pi-magic-mirror/).
Now the PIR sensor also works. But after I installed that and restarted the Raspi, my desktop is black. But only the desktop. The application, MagicMirror, is displayed. When I minimize MM with Ctrl + M, I only see a black desktop. The mouse pointer is displayed and can be moved. But I can not click on anything.

Of course I already tried the option with “vcgencmd display_power 1”. Unfortunately with the same result.
I would really appreciate, if you could help me.

Thank you in advance.
Lars

Hi Carsten. You can also use my module :)

So… I don’t know for sure but even though in my testing I was telling it to update every 1 minute, just to see if it works, I think maybe part of the problem is how frequently apple updates the information as well. I have gotten the calendar to update but it’s at 5 minute intervals. Which in the long run will be fine as I don’t need it to update that often anyways. I appreciate the help everyone.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone has every looked at using the MagicMirror software for dementia patients?

I work in a hospital with dementia patients every day. Many in advanced stages basically sit there like vegetables, bored out of their minds, distressed and unable to communicate.

We do have machines to deliver reminiscence therapy - similar to this - but the machines are £7500 each so we only have six across three hospitals.

We also have dementia clocks - because dementia patients tend to lose track of times and days - which are about £70 but obviously they are aesthetically ugly as hell.

alt text

I have increasingly been thinking MagicMirror could be a much better solution. Firstly, the clock face could be much more aesthetically pleasing. Plus you could build in extra features.

Allow phone and video calls from relatives. Allow friends and family to send photos either of themselves or ones for reminiscence, e.g, school and wedding photos. (Potentially) use the camera to monitor them and check they’re okay. This may sound creepy but remember the alternative for many is to send in carers to check up on them. And I can say from experience many people find the idea that they need to be checked up on very oppressive. But, obviously there’s a balance.

Probably the best solution would be to host it and then access it using Android tablets as clients for simplicity’s sake because you don’t really want to need any interaction, it needs to be “set and forget” as much as possible.

I would be really interested to hear people’s thoughts on this. My initial thoughts were to write an Android app or have it hosted on a website. But an app is less than ideal because everything is stored locally if something goes wrong. And a website doesn’t really feel like the right solution because they are designed to be interactive, and of course this is the exact opposite - it needs to be designed to be viewed easily, not interacted with.

The ultimate aim would be that currently if we have a patient who gets on well with the £7,500 machines when they are discharged you have to say “sorry mate, tough luck, we need that back”. If you could load it onto a tablet, well, everyone has a spare tablet or can pick one up for less than £100. So it could be something they could take home with them.

Any thoughts, positive or negative, very welcome.

@JonoGee Typical. I think i just found a solution…

the root cause of your apt problems is python-lockfile, try to reinstall it with the following command:

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install --reinstall python-minimal python-lockfile
EDIT:

@broberg Oh, I have given seconds instead of milliseconds. Thank you for the hint !! now it works.

It’s not a module but a python script which runs on the client…

@sdetweil said in How to find and use key commands in MM. For absolute beginners.:

never had to push shift too

That is odd. My Pi mirror, running MM 2.1.0, requires the Shift key to Zoom In, but not out, as does my dev machine running MM 2.5.0 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I just tested both. Go figure.

Using a pi3, has been running ok for 6 months, screen went black, thought it was cable cause I’m using a vga to hdmi connector, but I’ve tried different screen and just a hdmi cable. What’s confusing is that the mirror is still working as I’m using the remote module and I can view it on my laptop, the screen is ok cause it’s going through the boot , just when desktop shows it’s goes off

Hello

First, my English is not good.
I beg your understanding even if it doesn’t fit the rules of the word.

PIR-Sensor is worked well. but after a long time, the screen turned off because of the screen saver.
so I installed an xscreensaver on my raspberry pie.
And I turned off the screen saver.
The MMM-PIR-Sensor has not worked since.
PIR does not work even if xscreensaver is deleted.

@brandonbrown said in How do I exit full screen after boot up?:

This is on an old thread, but thank you @Mykle1 .

Hey Brandon, you are very welcome. Also, have a look at this page (it’s short but informative) about the key commands you can use while your mirror is running. Have fun!
