@sdetweil thanks a lot! I’ll have a look onto that site!

Hi All I have the MQTTBridge module set up, and it works very very well. I can restart MM, reboot, turn the HDMI on and off and everything. What I would like was to add a way to run a shell script. I looked into the Remote Control module, and it has some customcommands, but I think that is just for already defined commands. So what else can I do? The ideal would be to just set a MQTT topic, and it starts a shell script I’ve made.

I have a feeling that they just stop working or fire their support because I cannot find any activity on the Dakboard during this period. But yes, this is too funny a situation.

Has anyone else seen this: https://www.zdnet.com/article/say-hello-to-ubuntu-frame/ I’m wondering if it might apply to MagicMirror, and if so, how?

@sdetweil Thanks, worked

@bender352 late reply but whenever I try to make it executable it tells me chmod: cannot access ‘/home/pi/startup_scripts/portrait.sh’ : No such file or directory I completed all the steps but wondering if I’m missing something

@andyckp yes, I did an implementation on another platform. dialog handling is a challenge

@yuvismahi2 it’s open source, use rpiplay to find the window for mm or add a new mm module to enable an API, and call it to minimize mm and restore it when rpiplay stops mirroring

@rs for dropbox u need the shared link ( as no user is logged on to dropbox) and u need dl=1 (instead of 0) to enable direct download

@sdmydbr9 perhaps off-topic, perhaps an idea. I have homeassistant which does thse kind of announcememnts daily. It’s connected with my alexa (works also with google). I know it’s not related to MM but still, it works without the need for much coding and it’s quite modular for controlling various elements of my home

Yeah, I’d recommend the PM2 method. In my install, I’ve also got an 18650 battery based UPS in place along with proper cooling… the UPS automatically shuts down the Pi if on battery too long, and will restart it for me. Easy as Pi(e).

@clezio sim, você pode fazer qualquer um. algumas coisas são mais fáceis de um jeito, outras de outro.

@mumblebaj Thanks

@bendonahue I’ve set it up here with MQTT. I wrote a small guide on the HA forum: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/magicmirror-integration-into-home-assistant-with-mqtt/177246/15

I’ll have a better understanding how it works

I have been using this docker image and setup to create the container, which works. this docker image is not maintained anymore, meanwhile the image build fails so the image is old without containing security fixes. Also this image does not contain the latest mm version v2.16.0. I deployed a service running the Magic Mirror image from that on port 8075. can you show us this service? kubectl get service <service-name> -o yaml I wrote a helm chart for running mm in k8s, you find it here.

@cowboysdude cool. what monitor is that with?

Thanks for that

@mayfield I use the bitvise ssh client from my windows machine to edit files on the pi. just double click to edit as always. then I use notepad++, which has auto indent and good formatting . from my Mac, or Linux machines I use sublime-text as the editor and vscode is pretty good here too I don’t edit ON the pi if u don’t want to edit at all, use my MMM-Config module, which presents a form to fill in https://github.com/sdetweil/MMM-Config

@ankonaskiff17 ah, yes. that’s likely fullscreen below, or inserted at the same place, Prime example of fullscreen below being used is MMM-BackgroundSlideshow. Fullscreen above, I don’t know of anything using it, other than the built in alert module.
