    @OrangeMirror the current docker setup will only work for multiple instances IF you use the MM_CONFIG_FILE environment variable to run instances off different config files, or the MM_PORT env variable to override the port if using the same config.js all the files will come from the ONE folder tree ~/magicmirror so this means you would have to setup multiple entries in the compose.yaml to launch multiple instances (with the different config parms) You have to change the container name too this is because all the DATA used by the container is external (on docker host filesystem) and not IN the container an example NOT using docker, but same idea here https://docs.magicmirror.builders/configuration/introduction.html#advanced-configuration-and-frequently-asked-how-to-configure-examples

    @kayakbabe My problem was not the power because I power the led strip from external power supply. I figured out that somehow the GPIOs I wanted was not set as output mode and high state. I set them and everything is working fine. Thank you for your reply.

    @alyssennguyen I am trying to help you. You know why? Literally every single time I’ve seen someone guard his idea so badly, he either turned out to be a kid or a guy who literally has no idea what he’s doing, and doesn’t even have that great of an idea to begin with. As I’ve said, you are wasting your time.

    @amirco said in M.Sc project- Fitness mirror: Hii All, My name is Amir Lorch I am a Masters’s student in Data Science. My Research vision is to create a smart mirror to encourage people to exercise more often, so the mirror prototype will present training data and display by demand a workout video. This is added to random food and training habits recommendations (using the basic “compliments” module). I’m having trouble with the MMM-googlefit and MMM-Withings. Im looking for collaborators and any cool idea that you can offer me. what is the problem with modules??

    @DrFalken said in IR control of presentations?: Hey everyone - i’m looking to run https://revealjs.com/demo/ on MM, in a web browser module. I have a basic MM setup but otherwise a newbie :) The idea would be to able to able navigate through the slides with an IR remote (either mimicking keystrokes, or issuing api calls to the revealjs server. Does this seem realistic to do? Any pointers on implementation would be very helpful! As others have explained, MagicMirror won’t do what you want. To solve your need, There are presentation wireless “mice” which look like tv remotes which can do what you want, if you are using a computer to display your website on a screen. OR you could turn each slide of your presentation into a graphic image and load them on a usb stick. Most “smart” tv’s have the ability to display images from a usb stick and will allow you to adjust the settings so you can change pages by clicking on your tv’s remote control.

    @kayakbabe wasn’t a ‘idea’ so much as a passive aggressive point. I’ve previously asked to add middle to the left and right to make it a true 3x3 grid for top/middle/bottom and left/center/right.

    @donaldbathe - The short answer is: You cannot. The power socket for your electric shaver is not a mirror issue. I suggest you look for a local home electrician who can install a properly grounded outlet below your bathroom mirror. Rates vary, so be sure to shop around.

    So far 35 using Carousel to run through them 45 seconds a screen takes about a half hour to run through and get back to the beginning. Add until you can’t find room on the screen anymore.

    I was at microcenter and bought a pimoroni inky touchscreen just to play with. I’ve been fighting with teh MMM-flick-gesture module trying to add the airwheel gestures and learned I need to learn a lot more… Since the pisupply Flick would be hanging below the mirror anyway… I’m thinking the inky display might be a better thing to use instead. And… it could display some things when the mirror is blacked out, and when the mirror is displaying, it could show instructions on how to use it to control the mirror pages and module. I think I might be going down a rabbit hole. I’m wondering if anyone has setup an inky display magic mirror. Have you?

    @mayfield There are a few places to check the logs. If you start your mirror using pm2 then you can just run pm2 logs --lines 50 and see if there are any errors. You can change the line numbers to get more lines. You can also check the developers window (shift + ctrl + i) and see if there are any errors there. If you start your mirror using npm then you can check the terminal where you started the mirror from for any errors. For modules that are not working the issue is problem deprecated dependencies. See below post on how to fix these. https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/15778/fix-for-black-screen-in-2-16-and-later?page=1
