LOL I’m 49 married 5 children 28 down to 12, 3 boys 2 girls and in 2011 fell ill nearly died from that i now have a Brain injury. Before i fell ill i had six weeks to go before finishing a Double Advance Diploma in Computer Engineering and Network security Engineering. Had a job line up (if i passed) with a mid size disaster recovery company. Anyway i’m build the MM to help me with my day to day routine and hopefully the small problems i’m having will get sorted and i can sit and enjoy my handy work.

  @raf well, they have to update their certificate, OR you have to accept that they have an invalid cert… and you MAY not be connecting to the right place there is no other fix… this is what certificates and https is all about I don’t see that error or see any log entry trying to access that domain.

  @raf no, that’s not it. You need an Rpi4-specific image. Do like this: Find out where MagicMirror is installed. I’ll use ~/MagicMirror in the below. (~ is a shortcut to your home directory) Go to your home directory by entering the command: cd Make a full backup of you MagicMirror installation by entering the command: tar czvf mmbackup.tgz MagicMirror This will create a file call mmbackup.tgz Copy the file mmbackup.tgz to another computer or usb stick. There are several ways to do that, google if you don’t know. The important thing is that you do NOT store it on the SD card. The easiest way is probably to use an USB stick. Insert the stick into the Rpi3 and Raspbian will normally automount it. I will assume that the stick is mounted as /mnt/usb. If so then copy the backup with the command: cp -vi ~/mmbackup.tgz /mnt/usb On you Windows computer, download a raspbian image for Rpi4. Insert your SD card and write the image to card using Etcher or similar program (The same as you did when creating the SD card for the Rpi3) Move the SD card to the Rpi4 and complete the install. Copy the file mmbackup.tgz from wherever you put it to your home directory (~). If you used an USB stick in step 4 above then you can use the command: cp -vi /mnt/usb/mmbackup.tgz ~/ Unpack the backup with the commands: cd tar xvzf mmbackup.tgz Follow the instructions at https://docs.magicmirror.builders/getting-started/installation.html to complete the install. Skip step 2 as you have already installed MagicMirror.

  Would it be possible to make a Leeds united themed magic mirror that provides info on the uks football league tables/fixtures? What woukd be the cheapest to do this? Do I need to use an expensive pi or would the cheapest suffice? If I did use the cheapest pi woukd this cause lag? Thanks just looking for something to do during lockdown,and maybe sell them on if I can make it really good.

  Hi guys, thanks for the great guide @sean. I am currently using it with MMM-Carousel w/ Slide Navigation and it works fine. I am struggling to execute a command for another project. https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/123787-raspberry-pi-powered-surveillance-camera-monitoring-display The command is /etc/init.d/displaycameras {start|stop|repair}. How can I execute the command via webhook? I would be delighted to hear from you. With kind regards mopedmann

  @Jerrylein I am not aware of any modules that allow you to type on the mirror.
