@dxfan227 this is what I use https://motion-project.github.io/ my module references how to config it

First, please use the markdown features of the board when posting errors & code. Second, what version of Node and npm are you running? npm -v node -v

@bhepler that’s why I said minimze the mm UI. Back to the desktop, then all works… Then put mm UI back on screen by selecting it from the Task bar or alt tab

@MichaelKim - We’re going to need more information than that. So answer some questions, if you please: Was this a new installation or upgrading from a previous version of Magic Mirror? If you point a web browser at your Pi’s network address, does it show anything or just a black page? Is there anything in the pm2 logs that says “error”? Have you tried stopping the Magic Mirror process and manually running “npm start dev”?

@emrhssla said in node_helper.js does not work.: But I don’t know why /pi/Desktop/Beauty/Magicmirror isn’t working. Is this because of /pi/Magicmirror? because its a mess with all that macOS level binaries installed… i had to rm -rf ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules/electron cp ~/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules to get the UI to show on the pi… i tested before by executing Electron to show some page in a terminal window ON THE PI do ~/Desktop/Beauty/node_modules/electron/dist/electron http://cnn.com this should open electron to show some web page initially I got a frame, with empty insides

@emrhssla yeh, my fault… i had u erase too much, there is a supplied node_helper module in the modules folder… you can copy it from the /pi/MagicMirror installation cp -r ~/MagicMirror/modules/node_modules/node_helper ~/newTest/modules/node_modules

@sdetweil Ok, copied the node_modules/electron folder tree from the good working install to replace the bad… and now the bad behaves…

There is a pull request in the github that adresses this https://github.com/StefanNienhuis/MMM-Buienradar/pull/1

@matsjanssen openweather gives different keys for different things. 4 day vs long term the key u have cannot get the weather info u asked for. Error=401. Not authorized. Update your key

This is my config. But I think I may have solved it. I was using CSS to hide the “Zone” and “Type” info. If I remove the “visibility hidden” it works. So let’s see after a full day… { module: 'MMM-Sonos', //header: "Now Playing", position: "bottom_bar", // This can be any of the regions, best results in center regions classes: 'daytime_scheduler', config: { // See 'Configuration options' for more information. showStoppedRoom: false, showAlbumArt: true, showRoomName: false, exclude: ["Garden", "Living Room", "Bedroom"], } },

@shgmongohh too many pir modules https://github.com/cowboysdude/Pir-Sensor has one https://github.com/mboskamp/MMM-PIR has one, in callbackscripts folder

Looks like your system doesn’t have python installed.

@sdetweil oh!!! [image: 1555075763163-acdbfe01-9c20-45b9-a177-87d554b225e0-image.png] thank you very very very much :)

I have absolutely no clue whats going on because now I reinstalled almost all modules and now it works fine. I am unable to reproduce the error even with the config I used before.

@Sean said in MMM-WeatherBackground question: Sorry for incomplete information on repository. Don’t worry. It was just to contribute!

@AndrewS097 You could also take a look at some of the mirrors that have been documented here on the forum. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/category/12/show-your-mirror

@DigiTalk - Heh. It was mostly serendipity. I had to look up DNS caching as part of my work with remotely accessing mirrors.

@mlcampbe That did it! Thanks! I did edit the ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart according to the Configuring the Raspberry Pi instructions. It didn’t mention the desktop disappearing though.

@yawns Damn - it can all be so simple. I wasn’t aware there was a zoom factor in the game. It works and it all fits on the mirror again. Solved - Many thanks

i just reduce the magic windows with Ctrl-M, then i open a new terminal windows
