@wyovino I find a very easy setup to be a server on an RPi3 A+ and the client in kiosk mode on an RPi Zero 2W. This also gives one the option of having multiple clients attached to one server. I’m an (old) engineer and a minimalist so I chose DietPi for my OS. This results in very little lag while easily maintaining them via ssh. Total power consumption at full load is 5.5W (3.2W + 2.3W) versus the 4.6W for the Model 3 B+, but incrementally you get power savings as you add more clients. Cost wise, this is also more effective if you have multiple clients. On the server side, I created scripts to install MM and eliminated the need for pm2 in favor of using services, as this save significantly on memory usage (RPi3 A+ only has 512MB of RAM). DietPi + bare services + dropbear + MM server take up only 194-206MB of RAM. Swap varies from 0-30MB. I do not have a lot of modules running. The basic Calendar, Weather, MMM-RAIN-MAP plus a module I create for to capture and display Ring camera snapshots (currently called MMM-RingSnapshot). On the client side, I created a script to perform the most basic installation which reduces all display resources to bare X and chromium. Total is 240-248MB running DietPi + chromium in kiosk mode with no windows manager. Swap varies from 0-120MB while running. I was thinking of posting the scripts on GitHub, but I’m not certain there is appetite for something that is non-standard for MM. YMMV

@heath1066 awesome.

@RonR said: http://192.168.1.41/observationscurrent?stationId=FOSHKplug1n&format=json&units=e&apiKey=MMM Hi! Sorry for the delay - I somehow missed your message here. Sorry! Your FOSHKplugin appears to be running on 192.168.1.122:8081 – so the apiBase in the MMM configuration must also be set accordingly: apiBase: 'http://192.168.1.122:8081/observations/', Beside that, pws and apiKey should remain unchanged in order to receive additional data from FOSHKplugin: pws: 'FOSHKplugin', apikey: 'MMM', The URL in apiBase must be entered with the correct case and the correct placement of the slashes ‘/’. Otherwise, the MMM plugin will not receive any data from FOSHKplugin and continuously says: “Loading”. Regards, Oliver

@Richard238 generally I recommend sticking with the one that comes w the nodejs version.

@Lmagenis ok, understood We changed npm start to use the Wayland compositor, instead of x11 because the pi os has that as default now If you used my install script and selected pm2, then my startup script (mm.sh) detects which compositor is running, and issues the appropriate start command

@sdetweil many thanks for your help once again sam!

@Phantomkommander this fix is now in 2.36 released today

@sdetweil Thanks! P.S., I really appreciate all your help, not just for me but for everyone. You really are a rock star!

@thartley – Follow Sam’s instructions. I am traveling so didn’t get to finish mine. I got to a point where I got a message that the action was in progress, but it would never finish. After some research I’m pretty sure I have a permission problem and will check it out when I get home in a couple of weeks.

@sdetweil Hello Sam. Thank you for the reply and confirmation. I had seen your post to another person’s CSS question where you shared that tool. I used it earlier today and it showed what you saw. I was hoping that due to my minimal skill with CSS I was overlooking something, but I guess I wasn’t.

@sdetweil I switched back to X11 in raspi-config, rebooted and added the parameter DISPLAY=:0 npm run start:x11 That works! :-) As it is quite after midnight here, I’ll do these tests with wayland tomorrow and respond here. So far, thank you a lot.

@sdetweil Great! I’m glad I helped you while you were helping me. :)

@Hepkat awesome. Thx for the feedback

@sdetweil said: @Scruffy I strongly recommend using some backup/restore mechanism, please see my backup/restore scripts for one approach. they also support versioning, so you can tell one set of changes from another and can go back or forward… and move between systems. too… https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore.git and I also support the install/upgrade scripts, mentioned in the MM doc, Alternative install section OK perfect! I’ll run through this process next time this occurs. Thanks!

@SdR awesome. Sorry it took so long. Got sidetracked by the MagicMirror install problem, which wasn’t the cause

@DarrenO-0 I understand. You might be able to switch to a different provider on the weather module, depending on where you are. Not all providers are world wide

@MMRIZE How do I remove the time from the calendar? I’m using your CX3 Agenda to the right with the calendar in the middle; I would like to just have the time on the agenda. I managed to get symbols removed thanks to your (old) post, but cannot figure out the right combination of config.js and custom.css code to get rid of the start times.

@VPeter custom.css should only be in the config folder on version. 2.35

@VinGroot said: I got it working again by switching to the V3.0 API on OpenWeatherMap. And remove these two lines: apiVersion: “2.5”, weatherEndpoint: “/forecast” Yes, OW has moved to their 3.0 api

@butchkemper awesome!!
