hi there am new in programming and in PI but i have managed to set all the modules in my magic mirror and my next step is to connect PIR and temperature sensor i have been trying to using some modules but with no luck ! can some one help me please ?? i need to know how to wire PIR and what which code should i use?? this one wont work - https://github.com/nebulx29/dht22 Regards Lukas

@axellejamous actually it’s really well explain in the snowboy docs. Just scroll down to the asoundrc section and follow the steps! https://snowboy.kitt.ai/docs

Hi Guys, I was if anyone could help me out. I’ve already got my Arduino Yun set up with WiFi and it is sending data to dweet and freeboard but I was wondering if there was a way to create a button on freeboard and when that button is pressed change the LED status on board the Arduino. So send data back to the Arduino from either dweet or freeboard? https://freeboard.io/board/ApCdb_

adding an address: "0.0.0.0",did it, I can see the black page of MM in my browser… thanks a lot for your help. Now I’m even more waiting for my mirror and screen to arrive…

@Sean thanks for that description. I will probably take the same approach. Currently I am planning to provide a friend with an own display and I am not yet decided if the RPI should remotely access the server instance (via VPN client) or if I would have the application running locally on the RPI and just fetch the content from my network.

Maybe it is too obvious and I cannot see the wood for the trees, but I don’t know how to serve different layouts/content to two different clients. I understand that assigning classes to individual modules in the settings is one way to differentiate what gets displayed, but how is the class determined on the client-side? I run MMM as server-only and plan to use two different Raspberry Pis to display its specific layout. Can I pass an identifying string with the URL? Or is running two separate instances from different directories the better way?

Which Exchange version ? I do that with 2010 (SBS).Activate the iCal Funktion and past the link in the calendar module… I show 2 different calendar in one row, additional a holiday calendar … https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/ucedsg/2010/09/02/how-do-i-enable-the-new-internet-calendar-sharing-ics-with-exchange-2010-sp1/

Thank you for that tip … I tried that, and I think it would work better with fixed IP on eth0. But I need WiFi to connect. I will give fixed ip on WiFi a few time to show if it works.

@Sean said in News module ‘height’ changes when 3 vs 2 lines of text - pushes up other modules?: there are several CSS tricks to consider. Even better. Good stuff Sean! :-)

I offered the Hardware 4 weeks ago. I think too, that cec is Not supported on the lcd Controller Board. I think i will solve my Problem wird a relais between controller board and Display. I can control the power supply for the display with the relais over pi. Not pretty, but it should works simple

The only tutorial supported here is this one. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial Your node is not up to date for MM. Node should be somewhere in the area of v6.11.x and npm 3.10.10. This error: “Error(‘Electron failed to install correctly, please delete node_modules/electron and try installing again’)” is telling you to delete the electron folder. Then you would run npm install again in the MagicMirror directory. Then you would run npm start in the MagicMirror directory.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction here… As I’ve been having issues with a module I decided to do a new clean install of Raspian Jessie light & then go through the full set up procedure again. I used a new SD card for the install so I could retain the old one in event of any issues (and I’m glad I did). Got all my module sorted & it came to me getting MMM-PIR-Sensor working again. I cloned the git repository & ran the npm install from the folder. Now I noted that trying to run a “gpio readall” gave me a bash command not found error, so I instead followed the link in the pir sensor git hub page to wiring-pi (the node.js binding version of wiringpi). I installed this but then when running my gpio readall i got another error relating to not having the correct chip (I think wiring-pi is outdated & I’m running a pi 3 so it didnt install the correct up to date version of wiringpi), so I instead went direct to the wiringpi by drogon git page & installed it that way. Now gpio readall etc works fine. Note- I’ve given this story in case it’s relevant to my issue. Now my MMM-PIR sensor does function as it should if I sent the timeout value to some thing short like 10 secs so no issues with the module or wiring pi itself etc. Screen goes off, come back on when pir sensor activated. The issue I’m having is that every 2 mins or so, the PIR sensor itself is triggered (I know because it has a red LED which lights up). The sensor is becoming activated even if I’m not in front of it (I have also put it inside something to ensure its not getting any rogue heat to trigger it). It’s pretty regular - approx every 2 mins it goes off. This means that the mirror is constantly switching the screen back on. To troubleshoot I have used an identical PIR sensor which gives the exact same issue. I also tried a different 5V GPIO pin. Now the reason I know this is not a hardware fault is, if I put my old SD card in (with my old Jessie & MM install) it works absolutely fine, no rogue triggers. So my question is- what could be causing this? I know the PIR sensor will ‘trigger’ and the LED light up when it is first powered up so I can only imagine that somehow the 5V is not stable & is causing the sensor to power cycle every 2 mins or so. What I don’t get is that hardware-wise everything is the same. I’m using a good stable power supply with plenty of available current. So what software setting for my PI could be different in my new build? I may have done something in my previous build that I’m missing in this case (I had done lots of things from various web links to get other aspects of the mirror working), but I’m not sure exactly what I’ve missed this time around. I welcome your suggestions! Thanks.

@IDCreate said in Copy and paste of text to nano config/config.js: you certainly deserve a drink. :-) Good idea! Sleep well, mate

Ah, so it was correct that the desctopScreen was displayed first. Now it will also be displayed, but everything is black. I thought the MagicMirror was really startet first. The problem with the two instances I also found that there was one installed in the MagicMirror folder which always started. I deleted this in pm2 (also the mm.sh file in the MagicMirror folder) and add the new one in Home-folder. Thank you a lot

check file by: sudo nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart if it includes: @xscreensaver -no-splash then just comment it by adding # #@xscreensaver -no-splash if it doesn’t work install xscreensaver: sudo apt-get install xscreensaver

downloaded ttf fonts from google, then copied to: /usr/share/fonts/truetype executed fc-cache -fv pm2 restart mm it fixed the issue, however it means that MagicMirror has bug in its newest version…

@hoofta nice for you. It will work and ask again.

Why yes, yes we are. :) Thanks! There are a lot of very nice people here and tons of knowledge and they like to share :) @Mykle1 wrote all these guides to help new users… ask him I’m sure he’ll be also happy to help you!

Great to hear!
