    @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

    I finally received my replacement mirror and it has no defects. So basically I got two mirrors for 48€ incl. shipping. The first has only a tiny defect which makes it still usable for a second mirror. My frame is also almost done. I just painted it a second time and I am now waiting for the paint to dry. Next week I should be able to put everything together.

    @Albinolan I had the same idea a few months ago and I’m still thinking about realizing this. There is, after all a module here that can show pictures in the background. There is also one guy using MM without a mirror on his fridge. Lots of cool ideas Regarding this: The smart mirror idea has been getting some push in recent months/years and some people try to make money out of it. There’s a lot open source to build upon I guess.

    @cruunnerr said in what mic?: In some cases it could be, that USB mic’s got a little more latency I can confirm this. I’ve been doing a lot of voice work recently and there is a noticeable lag when using a USB microphone. If you’re using a Pi then you don’t have any choice but to use USB. :-/

    @redink if you can, get their SSID and password and enter those in the PI wifi config before delivery. Personal information, like calendar etc you should just leave the default settings and then help them set up their calendar after first boot up. So what I’m saying is, leave it as stock as possible (so they can start it up and look at it) after that help them with the personal stuff :)

    @joela85 Currently I’m using my phone and laptop to play Spotify. MMM-Scrobbler works fine when I’m streaming using phone and laptop, but when I try to stream using raspberry pi the track information won’t update.

    Hi @kiki99: You can send the SCREEN_WAKEUP notification to MMM-PIR-Sensor via MMM-Remote-Control (some details how to structure the GET request here): https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6106/use-mmm-buttons-to-hide-show-modules). If you can get the Alexa wakeword to send the notification, it should wake the monitor as though you triggered the PIR.

    @cruunnerr said in I messed up: i think the process of pm2 is called MagicMirror Ahhh, thanks for putting me straight. I don’t do automatic installations anymore. I’ve only installed PM2 manually and use the commands that I stated. Good catch @cruunnerr! :-)

    @tbbear said in Additional Info for each module: So what do u all think about this idea??? I like this idea and I will comply with all future modules. :-) My recent Hello-Lucy enhancement for MMM-voice does make mention of the cpu it was developed on and the expected latency when using a non-integrated USB microphone. :-)

    The lights WOULD create a glare…you’d have to test one to see how badly. But those vanities look dynamite…my daughter would love one!

    A backup of a running system is a good idea. Keep in mind how often we have trouble with new Raspbian versions. It still seems to run best on Jessi, so at least keep an image of that Raspbian version at hand that works for you (but then again, why not a complete backup image?). My Mirror crashed with data loss and corrupted sd card and for weeks, evening after evening I couldn’t get WiFi to run on my RasPi with the new card and latest Raspbian. Finally found my old Jessi image and it worked immediately. If only I had made a backup, it would have been a 10 minute thing.

    When you close the browser, MM is still running as a server/process in the background. If you stop and start it or directly restart it, there is no need to restart the Pi. What restarting the Pi does is just a very complicated way to stop the MM process. ;) Do you use PM2 to start MM on boot? Use pm2 restart mm See here: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/wiki/Auto-Starting-MagicMirror Or with npm, stop the package and start it again. Btw.: what text box? The console?
