I tried installing this: https://github.com/mjtice/MMM-Screendimmer but when I tried editing /etc/udev/rules.d/backlight-permissions.rules, the command line in putty crashed. Now the 7 inch Raspberry Pi display is booted up but it keeps showing the thinking _ repeatedly. I don’t know what do do. It keeps saying that /etc/udev/rules.d/backlight-permissions.rules isn’t found when trying to edit it now.

@det just for your info.

my install script does all the things u did manually…

apt update/upgrade and install node/npm.

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
It seems node-ical has an issue with parsing EXDATE Info within the ICS file.

He has the same problem.

@poucedeleon

position: 'bottomRight',

that is a MMM-ScreenCast property… not MagicMirror

but, yes whatever way the module expects, exact syntax is important, including upper/lower case.

Hello,

I had not been using my weather app for many months, and I got everything up and running today with the latest version of MM. However, I noticed a possible bug in with MM alerts. Previously, MM would handle multiple alerts gracefully, but today, I got this overlapping, unreadable alert instead:

Is something wrong with my MM settings/installation/PI, or is this a bug?

What is the code?
MMM-Rain-Radar already uses the NWS feed to determine when the radar should be displayed on MM. Their logic is if there is an alert for your state, then display the radar. If not, hide the radar module. I made a few modifications to copy the alert/warning text from NWS into a MM alert and display as MM alert. Neat! Then I stored the alert in an array. For each NWS feed check, it searches for any alerts not in the array. If it finds any, it displays them on MM as an alert, and adds the alert(s) to the array. Once there are no more active weather alerts on NWS, the array clears, and the radar stops displaying. Anyway, it’s a cool little hack to mmm-rain-radar, but yeah, it’s not useful if I can’t read the alerts on my MM. :)

PS. I have a touchscreen so I just touch the alert to make it go away. I also put in a timeout so if I am away for for a long time, the alert will terminate after a few hours.

PSS. I changed the code to do notifications, and it works beautifully. So it’s only the alerts that display incorrectly.

Added bug report to Github:
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/2813

This is most likely caused by my transformation of the module from plain HTML to nunjuck templates.

I suggest to open a Github issue for this in the repository https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/new with all necessary information.

It would also be interesting there which module is trying to send alerts in HTML.

@sdetweil thanks!! All works fine now. :clapping_hands:

found a solution meanwhile, will provide a PR in the github repo

@sdetweil
fullDayEventDateFormat:
work now, thanks

@bugsounet said in Problem whit MMM-PIE-Sensor modules:

node -v
pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ node -v
v16.13.1

It works now, thank you :-)

@rustyknight i found the problem in the calendar module a while back #2632) and have submitted a fix for the next release, Jan 1.

https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/pull/2748/

which hasbeen accepted and merged…

if u want to test it now, you can do this

@desert-rat sorry. no idea. my info is gathered over 20+ years

there are online linux courses, but I don’t know where they start, or how deep they go, how fast.

I have a near photographic memory which is a blessing and a curse…

@paarak I would open an issue in the MagicMirror GitHub repo.

mm clock uses the moment() library to get this value

@sdetweil OK thank you very much Sam……but it works fine

@olesoncrypto yes, that will get you

general rules for config.js

the thing to the left of : does not need quotes for the thing to the right of : if it is a number (9, -1.234) or true/false , no quotes if it contains a letter 12ff234, bob, then needs quotes, single or double doesn't matter as long as they are the same start and end every { needs a matching } every [ needs a matching ] [] is a list [ 1,2,3,4] or [ first,second,third] {} is a structure/object with name/value pairs { x: value, y: othervalue } u can write lists and objects all on one line (what a pain) or across multiple lines... (much more readable) BUT, you STILL need the commas between items in either if u get an error, unexpected token, 99% of the time, u forgot a trailing comma on the line ABOVE the one reported (error on line 45, look at line 44) a good debug process is to join the list or object to a single line in your editor, and get the , between the items, then split it again after each comma... so u have a separate item on each line.

@sdetweil SOLVED you are the man! Thank you kindly Sam

@sdetweil
It did the job. Had two more Errors with modules:
“has-binary2”
“after”
But I could install them with npm install.

Thank you very much!

Hi,
i currently using MMM-Motioneye to stream from a Motioneye stream (mjpeg).

Unfortunatly sometime its not properly loaded on start (some “broken” icon is shown). But after some hours, the module didint show up anthing. There is the option via http-request to show the stream… if this was hidden. But at that moment- its not showing anything.

I switched to MMM-RemoteControl to hide/ show the module. But like i described- it stops working after some time.

WIth that experience- i want to switch to another mudule. Any suggestions?
