  @frode I thnik “Aptenposten” is just a “NAMED” source of Norway. However news.org is gathering more news from various sources(even blogs) of your country, but just they are not “named” sources.(i can see e24.no at this moment. That is a news site of Norway, right?) You can get more news with country code “no” instead direct definition “source”.

  @teitlebot you would have to add some code the check the current time against a stat/stop time you would add to the configuration.

  @retroflex said in Horoscope!: So I guess this is the first module you’ll install: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1370/mmm-horoscope-daily-horoscope Thanks, i will try it… May be i start reading daily First modules to install were the default modules then i installed email, etc… But overtall building the case, frame of magic mirror is pending… Finally i decided to bulid Magic Mirror hardware part first… Because installing modules and editing config.js, making changes to how it looks, it is like super extra long process for me… I am a newbie and its hard for me to write the code, edit CSS etc.

  @dl3fre said in Deutsche Anleitung MagicMirror auf RaspberryPi 3: Die Homematiczentrale kann via html Zeile (z.B. http://192.168.178.xx/control?cmd=LCD…) Text senden. Das habe ich nicht verstanden. Kannst du nochmal genauer beschreiben was in welche Richtung gesendet wird? Wird die Homematic zentrale per url mit optionen angefragt und gibt einen Text als response zurück? Wie sieht die response aus?

  Magic mirror not starting on boot

  I installed MM from the bash command on the magic mirror 2 homepage a few weeks ago. It was working great for a few days, a restart would bring MM back up once it loaded. I finally got around to building the actual enclosure and mirror last night. Plugged everything in and started up the Pi and nothing, Raspbian loads up but no MM. Instead of troubleshooting I did a fresh install of OS and MM. Starts after install but after a reboot nothing. I’ve tried again multiple times with different sd cards and different Pi’s but the same result everytime. Sometimes I can manually load up MM from command prompt but sometimes it doesn’t work at all. Any idea what I’m doing wrong here?

  Bullet Proof Mirror aka Watchdog

  #Bullet proof mirror and how to enable the pi watch dog. The pi has a watchdog timer circuit built into it that is a prety reasonable means of detecting crashes and forcing an automated reboot. So first we need to enable it. First enable watchdog from /boot/config.txt, adding the following line: dtparam=watchdog=on # Then install watchdog service: sudo apt install watchdog #Uncomment the following line from /etc/watchdog.conf # Uncomment to enable test. Setting one of these values to '0' disables it. # These values will hopefully never reboot your machine during normal use # (if your machine is really hung, the loadavg will go much higher than 25) max-load-1 = 24 max-load-5 = 18 max-load-15 = 12 # ... watchdog-device = /dev/watchdog So basically constant loads and watchdog will kick in not sure what the time base is think its seconds but the above does the job. Then do a reboot and we can check its running by searching the syslog in /var/log for ‘watchdog’ But how do we know its working? We can test with a fork bomb and overload the Pi. If you have done an OC (Over Clock) on your pi do not run this and for anyone this test is your own decision. I have to say that but yeah you know. So what we will do is turn off all the swap so the test ends quicker and it doesn’t thrash your flash. sudo swapoff -a nano pythonbomb.py # import os while(1): os.fork() So we found that watchdog is running in the syslog and now to test. python3 pythonbomb.py Doesn’t take long to swamp the system that one The time base has me confused as its very quick to react on a load test but pretty sure the ping test is a minute. Its good how it is and the default values seem to work well as the highest I have ever seen my pi is just above 3 Ping test I tried this by putting in the IP of my desktop 192.168.1.16 which is local but then I just shut down. And right enough after a minute my computer was no longer available the pi restarted. The only thing I am worried about and I guess this is true that you could enter an IP that may never exist and turn your pi into a rotating boot. Time to put the SD card in a reader and edit your files and remove that watchdog test on another computer I guess. If you don’t have an overzealous internal firewall that putting in your router ip 192.168.1.1 with me would make a good WiFi watchdog Then maybe a internet IP like googles main DNS of 8.8.8.8 might but not sure if you constanty pinging that you may get filtered. 8.8.8.8 is usually what many use just never set up a perm watchdog so honestly can not say bbc.co.uk - 212.58.253.67 did actually take that service down and got bombarded by sysadmins to re-instate and its prob the UK’s unofficial official ping test. etc/watchdog.conf is a standard linux watchdog file http://www.sat.dundee.ac.uk/psc/watchdog/watchdog-configure.html So you can read up on these. https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/watchdog/watchdog.8.en.html As per usual you can all my stuff on https://github.com/StuartIanNaylor/MagicMirror-Install-Guide-Raspberry-0-to-3

  Hi, wir sind ein Smart-Mirror Start-up und bauen maßgeschneiderte Lösungen ( in der Regel für B2B-Kunden). Wofür möchtest du den Spiegel denn nutzen? Bei Interesse einfach mal auf der Webseite vorbei schauen oder ne Mail schicken! PS: Wir werden in Kürze auch eine kleine DIY Serie veröffentlichen und daher auch ein paar Spiegel für Tutorials etc bauen. Wenn du Interesse hast dich einzubringen und vielleicht auch bei der Konzeption / Umsetzung mitwirken willst, kannst du ggf. einen der “Tutorial Spiegel” im Anschluss haben? LG Peter
