@LeashP15 you’re welcome! :)

During nights and weekend my magic mirror is disconnected from the wifi and is not able to update. Once internet is restored, the modules I’m using are very slow to update with new info. Is there a way make the refresh rate higher?

Thanks, will try tomorrow

@jhlas22 a remote terminal, but that is a no then.

@Jopyth said in MMM-Remote-Control stopped working - error: Will try to have a look at this in a few weeks (see my post in the other thread). No problem. Good luck with your thesis

With the help of another User on Github we found out what was causing the error! It was the sudo, that I mistakenly used to execute the script. Running the install as pi was the solution. Hope this will help someone with the same problem. :)

@cohron I was curious so I checked my /etc/network/interfaces file. It would appear I don’t have the edit we’re talking about, yet my wifi never drops. Here is the file: interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and ‘man dhcpcd.conf’ Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d: source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet dhcp auto wlan0 allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp wireless-essid XE1S3 wireless-key 5BBXXXXXX

today is install a fresh version of raspian pixel on my raspi 2 with the new version (2.1.1) of MagicMirror and the actual version of PM2 (2.4.5) But the autostart function themes not to work and in the pm2-root.service is no part to set the idle time. How can i fix the idle Problem ?

I’m having the same issue. Should the screensaver be off? I did the original config; sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart add the following lines: @xset s noblank @xset s off @xset -dpms sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf add the following lines: xserver-command=X -s 0 -dpms but the screen was still blanking after 10-15 minutes so I installed xscreensaver to get around this. I’ve now taken xscreensaver off, so the screen is blanking after inactivity again, but MM doesn’t seem to recognize the PIR. I get the same results of ‘Motion Detected’ when running a .py test from the OS.

@relluts said in Noob current amd forecast weather: but the time is wrong. Can i just eliminate the clock on the weather? That is the sunset time. After the sun sets, it will then display sunrise time.

All the sudo apt-get whatever command can be replace by sudo apt whatever apt does the same as apt-get but provide a progress bar in addition. Also you put two point 14. And the first one is missing a step and there is a a space missing. cd ~/MagicMirror should be cd ~/MagicMirror/modules and ~MagicMirror/modules/ $ gitclone https://github.com/NAMEOFMODULE should become ~MagicMirror/modules/ $ git clone https://github.com/NAMEOFMODULE But maybe instead of https://github.com/NAMEOFMODULE maybe it would be easier to say moduleUrl or something ? because the url doesn’t onlt content the url of the module but also who did it. So if somebody who never used git before try to write https://github.com/MMM-AlexaPi for example, it will fail. because part of the url is missing.

Same problem here. I would love to use the occupiedCMD and vacantCMD.

Thanks again I think I might have a good idea what is going on, when I hardwire to the pi I get the correct address and can connect to SSH without any issues (still trying to get VNC working) through mobaXterm. I’m using a LUMA system in the house and I wonder if one of the access points has that as a subnet. To be determined later. Now I can configure remotely thank you everyone for your assistance. Anyone have recommendations on modules to consider and suggestions on two-way mirror or film to use?

I added the --unsafe-perm to the npm install process in the Dockerfile. (3a5dbc4) This should fix the issues 👍

Thanks guys

I’m quite new in Rpi and I had a loooooooooooooot of troubble with the sounds. I believe there is a way to desactivate HDMI audio somewhere in the sudo raspi-config and forcing the 3.5 m jack in the Advanced Options and Audio if that doesn’t work, I noticed that if you open alsamixer through a terminal, you can just change the value of the different channel but not “select” it as the default device to use. You can, however, open the “Audio Device Settings” in “Preferences” within the main menu of the pi on the desktop and choose the “default card” to use and reboot. Alternatively, you can creat a .asoundrc in your pi folder to describe what is the default card.(It will only concern the pi user though. You can make it globale if you use a /etc/asound.conf file instead). Those files probably doesn’t exist at first, you might have to create them. But at the end of the day, I never trully succeded to use my usb sound card fully. Not sure why but in a lot of circumstances the driver crash or something if I play a sound with it and all my usb devices directly plug in the pi freez. so I end up configure the asound.file to say that my output is the normal output of the pi and my microphone is the external sound card.

Hey! Deactivate screensaver if not done yet. That may be a cause. How do you controll the display? Are you using a command like /opt/vc/nin/tvservice -o and /opt/vc/nin/tvservice -p or just tvservice -o? And is the display connected via hdmi? If that’s the case you could try the following: In /boot/config.txt add hdmi_blanking=1 and reboot. Now try HDMI Output OFF with vcgencmd display_power 0 and HDMI Output ON with vcgencmd display_power 1 instead of the command above. Descript here. :)

I did it, It wasn’t easy but it’s work, I can use voicecontrol and others voicecontrol driven module at the same time. I had to change my /etc/asound.conf file again (yes, again. Because changing it already solve some of my issue on the past) before my file looked like this: pcm.!default { type asym playback.pcm { type plug slave.pcm "hw:0,0" } capture.pcm { type plug slave.pcm "hw:1,0" } } Easy enough when you know what your doing (that wasn’t my case). this file is there to say what is the default device to playback and capture (A lot of application or software just use the default device so if the default configuration isn’t working for you, you need to change it for you.) In my cas ethe microphone is the “hw:1,0” and my speaker is the “hw:0,0” That worked well when my microphone is used by one application at the time. However, not so much when it need to be used by multiple ones. So my new /etc/asound.conf file is looking like this now pcm.myTest { type dsnoop ipc_key 2241234 slave { pcm "hw:1,0" channels 1 } } pcm.!default { type asym playback.pcm { type plug slave.pcm "hw:0,0" } capture.pcm { type plug slave.pcm "myTest" } } instead of directly say that my input device is the “hw:1,0” I say it’s “myTest”, which is describe above. myTest’s type is “dsnoop” , that’s whats allow the michrophone to be use by multiple application at the same time. The ipc_key is there with a random value because when I tested with arecord, it asked me to put one. The channels is there because it was on the documentation ( http://alsa.opensrc.org/Dsnoop ) >.> not sure what it does though. And there you go, after that I could use two voice control things at the time

I got the same problem with my mirror so is it an solution?
